Updated my FC a little. [Picture Intensive]

Haven't posted an update in a while, but the cars been through a good amount of money.

Lets see here....

We used to have



but then I picked up some Brand New APEXi N1 Duals.



And that was good for a while, but then I wanted to go a little lower, so I picked these up.









And Lo and Behold...



But I wasn't scraping enough speedbumps and driveways so I purchased some Aero and got to work.





Around the same time I ran out of tire, so I downloaded some more.

So then the aero finally got finished after a month of being lazy.









But just when I thought I was done, I forgot my right turn signal was still in my old bumper, and I couldnt find the mounting nuts for my new FTP's. So I corrected those problems and produced a product...





Driveway Appreciation.





So that was my cars journey. I think I've spent about $2k throughout these pics. meh.

Turbo Swap in the winter? Headers for now? No idea....

Nice and Clean but t2 swap it now. T2 hood on n/a doesn't do anything for cooling or venting engine heat, purely just a scoop for show. However slap a 13bt and your good.

I'm waiting for winter break so I can swap it all in one week. Also money. Need that. And I'm aware that the hood does nothing for my cooling/venting, I painted it because I don't want to color match both an NA and TII hood, since I'm eventually going TII swap.

The rear is actually a half inch higher from fender to ground than the front is. I wouldn't want to raise it anymore because that'll bring the front lip closer to the ground =o.

Coilovers are Powered by Max. Go for 1 grand.


Thanks for the comments!

Champ,

Did you set the body lengths or did you just run them as they came?

If you're talking about the coilover heights, the front pretty much stayed the same, but the rears I shortened by quite a few. I did play with the settings multiple times though to get the height I wanted.

Did you adjust the heights with the body lengths or with spring preload?

I left the preload alone (recommended by Dan at PBM is neutral pre-load). I adjusted the height independently from preload using the lower spring perch. The coilovers could much lower, but I wouldn't want too.
