StreetMetalBen Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 I now feel confident that my car is on the way to having a decent system, worth showing off. ... On the way, not there yet... How things started... I picked this baby up from the second owner, 160,000 Miles Completly clear title, ZERO accidents, Very Clean (undamaged and complete) interior, 99.9% Stock. Only Had Ugly purple tint and JBL 6"s, and some bumper stickers. And the best part of the car is EVERYTHING works! Curise Control, Power steering, AC, Radio, Defroster, Windows, Mirrors, EVERYTHING! It has 3 dents in it so going to clean it up, respray it the stock Blue, drop it on some wheels and drive it. Maybe some HIDS, some strut braces, and a few JDM Hints here and there. No swaps or anything planned for the near future, it going to be my Clean OEM Daily!
StreetMetalBen Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Posted December 19, 2012 Im half tempted to raise it back up and put the stockies on it. I really dont like how it looks right now. I can drop another 1/2 up front and 2 in the back, but then it wont ride for crap. Added another 20 Hp With my JDM Antenna HAHAHA
StreetMetalBen Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Posted December 19, 2012 Dropping it another 1.5 without loosing ANY ride quality! After A little bit of plasma cutting, then a little bit of TIGing.....
StreetMetalBen Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Posted December 19, 2012 Got the forks put on, and found out where i needed to trim, also where to improve for the next set. Looks a lot better, but still not near low enough... Next step is too cut about .25 off of the fork top, so the strut sits down in deeper. As long as there are no clearance issue, which i dont think there will be, then that's another quarter lower! Not sure if there is anything else I can do to the stock stuff without buying shorter struts...
StreetMetalBen Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Posted December 19, 2012 . Looking a little better, but I need to rip off that tint!
