Update of Yusoslo's progress

Ok guys I have been slacking in the past but I have started working pretty hard on my car and just ordered about 3k more parts these last two weeks. I will be writing up some cool how to's as well.

My next task is shaving the engine bay and coating it in Rino-liner, and welding the custom half cage and finishing the new carpet intsall.

Anyways here is what the newest project was. I had HKS super mega stiff coilovers which then I decide to scrap and picked up a set of Stance GR+ Pro's

OMG SUPER fender gap....this is what you get with stock springs, major weight reduction and a relocated battery!!!




What is that???


Damn those guys and their white Mazdas


My half Arsed rattle can engine bay from 1 year ago or 2k miles






Ground clearance FTL


And here are some shitty shots from my work parking lot.





Cant wait to shave the engine bay and finish my wire tuck.

My big dilema......go 5 lug + Widebody + Enkie RPF1 17x10.5 around....

or stick with the 4 lug Gotti wheels I have and get proper spacers and exteneded bolts to get a proper fit?

That is the 3k question.

I already have to S5 mouldings and S5 Aero mirrors which will go on when the car gets resprayed 07 Benz white....(it's super bright white)

A large FMIC will be filling that void very soon.

That is the corksport lip

If I ever hear back from Shine I can finally order my R-Magic sides and rear and Foresight overfenders!!!! I really think I need to go wide body
