Lmfao the extreme drop kit was so I'm prepared to go air at some point. Car is Fucked up enough as it is. Not fucking up an already beat car anymore then it needs to be. Besides it looks like a sunken battleship. I want to get a turret for this motherfucker and Mildred done in warship font on the fender LOL.

Gets super lows and complains about being too low!

Go lower!

[aeok18109]

Too low as it is. Need to cut out room and extend the area near the strut tower where the UCA is cockpunching it's way through on every bump lol. Shit sounds horrid. I need wheels ASAP. 18s that will clear the 95+ LS400 brakes. Trying to score ls430 or 95+ ls400 wheels. I have decent tires I rescued from the shit pile.

Bout time! Now make use of the "extreme low" and go lower son.

Today was a hell of a day. Found out my initial concern was valid. I need a blasted steering rack -___-.
When i bought the car it was pissing ATF all over the place due to what i thought was just a PS line. Did some research and found its a common issue where the air control valve in the pump, shits the bed. I opted to just smother a drain plug in the black aisin goop and ram that bitch home. Its stopped the leak from there and stopped pouring ATF into my intake (2 vacuum lines into intake/manifold - hence the gigantic cloud of shit it was spewing when i first got it).

Fast forward a few months later and ive noticed a wiggle from the front end. i figure no biggie just get the drivers side outer tierod changed out. Me being captain overkill bought both inner and outers just to be done with the thing.....went to go take the boot off the inner and was greeted with a mouthful of nasty ancient fluid. Yep the seals have gone bad in that thing -__- OH WELL. i zip tied the boot back on, replaced the outer and said fuck you have a nice day.

Decided it was TIME. It was my day off and my boys last day at work. We threw the coils on today. Here are some pics of the process. I'm WAY too low. These BCs are fucking wicked. I can lay frame on these bitches im sure. I can hear my UCAs smacking the shit out of my strut towers with every little bump. They ride REAL smooth. Have them turned to about 20 clicks all around and im averaging 23inches from top most arch part of the fender to ground on all four corners.

My seat belts in the car are a lost fucking cause. Some asshole had these apart before. Had to have. The holes where the belt receivers bolt into are stripped out. They were barely hanging on t-___-t.
Here are some random pics from the process and of the result. Took a few pics of everyones cars while we were BSing with dude before he left for the final time. Man that shop is gonna suck some serious ballsack without him. Oh well I wish him well

Before Shenanigans ride height


Stripping rear seats




Extender madness. Yep they look goofy. DGAF. Why? Cuz stank booty.






Lift says NOPE. get the jack motherfucker im STUCK.




The hardest car I've ever had to deal with getting on and off the rack. I almost took out my boys legs with a 2x6 as it rocketed out from under tire and flew across back parking lot LOL






And final product.



Time for small shoot with my friends and coworkers.

Todays haul my coils and tie rods came in. finally. yes im happy as fuck

[Thom]

Oh no I wouldnt say get one right this instant. But good seat make you feel gewd. In saying that I have no idea what the seats are like and might be comfy as shit already. Sucks about the coils tho. Id of given up and gone else where by now haha.

[aeok18109]

somewhere down the line i will look at the Corbeau's. Not interested in Recaro for this vehicle. have far too much to get done before i can justify any interior work. the windshield being replaced, tint being redone or removed all together and the eagle eye HID retrofit being the main concerns, AFTER i get inner/outer tie rods along with my coils put in.

[rightfullrudder]

of course no fucking tracking number today. yea about that. never dealing with these fucktards again. they have till end of business day Wednesday to ship my shit before i start Paypal shenanigans. this is fucking ridiculous.

Waiting sucks. Seems like you're always better off budgeting an extra week or so for shit to go wrong.

[Thom]

This. I don't see a point into getting racing seats because you can.

They won't match the rest of the interior anyway.

In Japan, the Toyota Celsior(LS400) was sold with cloth(the fuzzy soft stuff from old toyota luxury cars) seats as an option. Pay more for cloth hahaha. You should go get cressida front and rear seats and drop those babies in, and get matching fabric for the door cards.

It would surely be unique, and better looking than your torn up front seats.

Depends on what seat you buy/what car you get get them from. I find most oem seats are un comfortable for some reason after having a basic recaro in my shit heap. I have one of these but in fabric and its comfy as hell (Not saying much as oem lancer seats are the worst)

If it's a Thursday or Sunday then I'm good. Otherwise I'm stuck like chuck. I need to figure out SOWO dates and put in vacation days for them.

[244Brick]

As soon as they come install them. IA isn't until next week
