Well if you have been following my build you know what happened to me recently, if you do not know just click the link of my last build and read the last page.

Anyways in this build thread i will be finishing up my cosmetics and hopefully start on my internals.

so this is her now

 

You car looks great with those wheels! Get another set!

 

Celestial Fc, I know where you're comming from, I hate thieves more than anything. At least they left the car and just took the wheels. In my case, they took everything...

 

looks good chris, good wheel choice my friend

Lloyd

 

Solid wheel choice chris. Car still looks great, too!

 

those wheels and offsets seems awfully familiar...

Lloyd

 

Aha mhm they do dont they. Aha.

 

i'm gonna go cry in a corner now

 

<3 I'm taking good care of them. I'm in the process of refinishing the lips and faces.

 

lol jaime.

dont refinish the faces, keep them the original SBC color! I see you added extra security to the wheels...2 locks?

 

The faces are peeling so I have to refinish them. it's 4 different locks per wheel and a much better alarm system and some other secrets that will keep them from getting jacked not taking any chances anymore.

 

thats some serious security. hopefully those goons stay away this time

 

faces are peeling??? i didn't see that.

 

Dude Im really scared, I just bought wheels... How did they get stolen? Did you have locks to begin with? What kinda locks now? where/when did it happen and where do you keep the car.

Im still running OEM nuts cause I cant decide whats a good set to get that will be hard for someone to have a key to. Was looking at rays or the R4o's.
In the end they will just take my car... I plan to add more theft to my insurance...



I already had some honda **** walk up to me and ask how much my wheels were. I just said "got them for a deal" and he replied with a shady look and said "Yea.... Thats what I need- a deal." I ******* canceled my payment and left when he was not looking... I dont think he saw my plate, I backed up and left from the back... Im gonna start straight up LIEING to people and say they are $500 replicas.

 

yeah the two fronts are peeling. didnt notice it untill i took apart the wheels to clean them.

left my car on bricks.... thats how they got stolen.... i had project kics lugs. happened at my girlfriends apartments.

the best way to keep them from getting jacked is to slow the thieves down as much as possible. Loud *** alarm, multiple locks, hood lock so they cant get to battery to disconnect your battery. kill switch, tilt alarm.

theirs no such thing as to much security when it comes to your car. especially when its an old car and people want your ****.

when random people ask me how much they are i just say: i cant say sorry.

 

really? i dont have any alarm, just a kill switch hidden near my battery, and the locks that came with the lugs....then again, i have 3" long arp studs, hard to jack rims when you cant get to the lugs lol

Lloyd

 

whats the dimensions on your rims if you dont mind me asking. they are tooo sexy

 

wow! gorgeous FC!

 

Stolen wheels is a big concern of mine... or, well.... Will be. I plan to eventually get some very nice wheels. Wouldn't a good thief have just about every lug key available for most aftermarket lugs?? I suppose there has to be some company that makes custom lug nuts with lug keys. Right?

 

18x9 18x10 +11 all around.


Thanks

Usually theifs wouldn't try and mess with a car with multiple locks unless they took the car itself and delt with the locks in a garage at another location. My advice to you is by Atleast two locks per wheels and invest in a alarm system. Proximity alarms might be annoying but they will save you car from getting stolen

 

What wheels are those?

 

they are ssr ms1.

Update: Im currently in the process of maintenance period for my car. Finally fixing all the engine problems. started on fixing my overheating problem. bought new hoses and thermostat and might be switching out the old POS OEM radiator for a koyo. will post pics soon.

 

Clean. How low did you set your coilovers?

 

Came in today=D slapping this baby on this weekend. need to get my car back up and running.

 

started off with detailing the thermostat housing... took awhile to remove all the oxidation but got it done.


finally got in in yesterday. =D it didnt want to line up with the screw so zip tied it a little.


after driving an hour in stayed at this temp the whole time.


Next ill be going into fixing my oil pressure gauge, brake master and clutch master and probably other misc parts.

any ideas on how to fix the oil pressure gauge btw?
