2002 Bastard Civic Highschool Budget Build

[TylersEM2]

You remember how the wheels hit the trailing arm? Well, I used a torch, and then bet the shit out of it.

But guess what! I test fitted the wheels, and even put a 5mm spacer. and they still hit it. wtf bro.

Oh well. It's going to looks sexy.

It's a lot more stressful than I thought though. I thought I'd just put em on, and then be stance master. But it's a lot harder than it looks. just to test fit it I had to raise and lower my car like a thousand times.

Looking good I can't wait to see it fitted !
I love seeing other highschoolers build nice cars!
your doing a great job though

[Brimmy]

It's totally going to be worth it. That colour is epic!

Told you teal would be the sheit Tyler

Looking good man. Doing it right for the 7thgens !

[aduchh]

looks the goods !

[TylersEM2]

Thanks everyone! It's pretty stressful. Especially because I have very limited funds and I might have to end up getting two, or even three alignments to make it sit pretty.

Looks awesome man. I loved the green but it's something youd get sick of quickk. The teal works great

[whooty]

very nice! Was the lime green color the stock lemon lime color from next level motoring?

Yeah! But I wouldn't recommend it. The paint on the wheels was very very shoddy. The paint chipped from putting the wheels on, and after powder coat the wheels look great! And they didn't chip.

Exact same color (teal) I am doing my wheels in. Car looks great man

[TylersEM2]

I finally go rollllin' with them today.
Too high, but I'm getting there, I'm getting an alignment tomorrow. I'm going to go lower, and then have them align it. The drive to the alignment shop is going to be scarryyyy. Will it throw the toe off if I get it aligned and then lower it after?

If you lower it after the alignment, the alignment will be out a little. I wouldn't worry about it though since you won't be going more than about 1/2" more down (I assume). Alignment will be super close.

yeah, about half an inch to maybe an inch.

[Granny Gold]

I would lower it beforehand, that way everything is spot on and saves you money in the long run. Doesn't take long anyway.

But would you be able to get on the alignment rack without the people complaining?
