I'm speechless. Keep the wing! Evo looks so much better with it.

If you missed the showroom post....

Got the wheels on, fenders rolled and lowered.

Am I 100% satisfied? No, but I'm sure I'll be there near the end of the summer. Overall I am happy with the look of wheels on the car. Would like to go 1/2" - 1" lower but the tires in the front are limiting me at the moment.

As of now no major changes will be happening, except for new pads and rotors which have already been ordered thru AR. Hopefully those will arrive by the end of the month.

Wheel info: CCW LM5 18x10 +19F +32R
Tire info: Federal 595 265/35/18

Next up is JDM rear bumper w/ diffuser and full respray, if I can get enough funds.

For those of you following this and waiting for everything to get dialed in, wait no longer (well not much longer).

Click the link (below) to see what's been up. I'd never miss an opportunity to let these guys handle my car, top quality work! (so I thought)

Replaced my starter today, not with a new one though. Since Mitsu starters cost $530 at employee pricing I said f*** that. A local guy in town who build Evo's for what they are intended for (rally racing) sold me a starter for a fraction of that cost. No more turning the key 20 times to get the bitch to turn over! Going to rebuild the bad starter and keep it as an extra for future use



Got bored in the middle of my 20min starter swap lol, so I painted to protective cover.



This will probably be the last shot of the car at this height with stock wheels, the day is near my friends, it's been tooooooo long.


Anybody have any ideas for what could be done with this guy?? Thinkin' about choppin it up and building something rad hahahaa

Nice work man, looking good so far.

I really like where this is going man. The white centers on the CCW's looks great as well.

Thanks!

Looks good man, cant wait to see fenders rolled.

Thanks, I can't wait either.

Looks like you raised since the land of NeedingAnAudi

It only looks that way b/c I don't have 150lbs of tires/suspension in the trunk lol

Alright, so the past two days have been pretty productive for me. I ended up re-routing some wires under the hood (one of which ran thru the hole in my firewall where water was coming in at) and a couple others just to tidy things up.

Had it in the garage on Monday, drilling a new hole for one of the wires I was moving and then sealing it up extra good.



After everything was sealed off I let it sit for about 5hrs so the sealant would harden. I then proceeded to run water down the windshield while keeping an eye on the inside for any signs of a leak.
Good news is the leak is finally gone, but the last test was taking it thru a car wash and letting the high pressure water really test things, still no leaking water. I was very happy at this point. This meant I could finally install the carpet back into the car.



Intermission:
Dinner was on the grill, so I called it quits for Mondays work.



Tuesday morning, this morning. The car sat overnight (obviously) but I ran it thru the carwash again just to double check everything and make sure that absolutely NO water got in. We were good, so it was time to remove everything inside the car and install the new carpet.





Done!



All in all, it was a very good two days for me. It feels great to finally have carpet again after 6months w/o it

As it sits now: no spacers and a little lower.






As soon as my tax return get here I will be rolling the fenders. God I can't wait to mount up the new wheels. Enjoy the rest of your day/night.

F*uck the last owner of my car for drilling a hole in the firewall at the lowest possible point, water leak again. I think I'm just going to re-route the wires and weld up this hole.
