y33 build threaddd

[cheez80]

I love those stitch wheels. If you EVER sell, please lmk.

Willing to bet there are about 20 ppl in front of me on dibs though

haha, i just got these 3 weeks ago -- i'm thinking of doing some refinish work on them. i'll probably hold onto these for a while, but i'll let you know if i decide to sell them :P

thanks for the replies! that's great!
i just see that you talked about springs rates a bit earlier, sorry for the question.
85$ is a bit expensive but if they are good quality, why not, i was planing to buy some eibach and they are 66$ at summit. i have to translate what i run with what you say because my rates are in "lbs".

for the PSS9, it was just an idea as i was on Bilstein website this morning, who knows...

i will definitely keep an eye on this thread because it is so (too?) rare to see some cars like that in this side of the world so it is rarer to see some details of the build!
i really love what you do with the car!

oh yeah, here are some photos i just took at the urging of a friend:




forgive the photography -- these were taken handheld with a crazy long shutter speed haha

so, i just found out i totally pwnt the stock front lip on my car -- the passenger's side has broken and it's just dragging on the ground. haha.

anyway, i just ordered a pair of magnaflow exhaust tips a few minutes ago; they'll be here tomorrow but i won't be able to make it to a muffler shop until next week. fml.

next stage of the build is in progress...







zeal super functions, baby!

these will be showing up tuesday morning, according to fedex tracking; i'll be dropping them off at endless/zeal usa soon thereafter for an overhaul/revalve. i may have to wait a pay period before i can afford the rest of the parts i need to finish this swap... fml. haha

This thread delivers. That is some crazy camber out back, you must go through tires like nothing

-9* is no joke, my friend, but i've been pretty lucky with my tires -- at -7* i could count on 12k miles (with a flip in-between, obviously) which is pretty good. the car's toe is spot on. i'm hoping for at least 10k on this setup *fingers crossed*

This really is amazing.
