i was so anal about haveing no rock chips when i got him...

and i painted my tow hook,,, all little things at first..

[wikedgolf]

now the start of the suspension and u'll notice the red beltline around the windows

Well.. two spiffies.... for now

I was bored today so i decided to finally install some of the stuff i had laying around.. lol

Rear Sturt bar


Front Strut


I had to cut away some of the the under hood liner to get the front bar to fit right. Me and ray test fitted the bar once at work and the hood lifted up a little. Now that i cut away some of the liner, it fits soooo much better!

his first trip to Vegas... dawwwww

113 wasnt to bad... but Scrappy was on Fire!

[wikedgolf]

i quoted myself.. hahaha

YAY!

Scrappy is half lowered! We got the front H&Rs in!
We tore apart the rear so we can do it tommorw. Its to late to run the air compressor so we had to call it a night.

Ray u where right, the front Driver side was the hard one. But it only took us about 10 mins to pull it a part. The front passenger side just slid right out. and so did the rears.

AND to top it off Sergio aready scraped the front bummer when he was backing the mini into the drive way to start on the rears. Im not going to be as low as yours, but i can scrap now!

Chicks love scrappy. We too him down PCH today to do some sight seeing and this chick in a truck next to us yelled out to me "I love your car" anf gave me a thumbs up

OOO and he's got a sexy negitive camber rear end now ... love that camber

[wikedgolf]

ok.. not he's lowered on H&R sport springs...

[wikedgolf]

and now...

.... got two of them in today! They look much darker than they where on the site. BUT, i think thats a good thing! Much better looking with the astro black!








now i need tires.. lol

I was going to go with the the kumho 711s since they where only 54 bucks each

But... Im working on soming with Nitto right now. So i might not have to pay for them at all. But thats still in the air.
maybe the NT555s, i had those on my 19s before. they where ok.

I just said f' it and ordered my tires today from tire rack! YAY!

215/40HR-17 Kumho ECSTA 711

hopefully i'll get them in time for mondays meet

1: Tinted Tail lights and 3rd brake light (have to re-wire in bulb holders)
2: exhust
3: engine damper
4: Cooper gas door convertion
