Hey guys. Sorry I have neglected you. I have been posting on WFC and forgot about SW since I don't have a bookmark set with the browser I have been using.

Anyways, to sum everything up; I ditched the flares, cut the quarters, flared the tabs out, and am doing a slight radius. I am not going as wide as I originally was, but it still looks amazing. I can assure you. I got my wheels, test fit them and the fitment all around was perfect. I had tires put on and I dropped the car off the jacks to check out how it was actually going to sit.



And a photoshop of what the rear quarters should look like when finished:



I also decided that I am still going to shave the engine bay and paint the engine bay. However, the car will be wrapped a completely different color instead of spraying it. The reason being that I won't need to rent a paint booth after spending hours sanding and whatnot.

I have decided to put a stock EJ25 back in it for the time being. Later in the year, I will be transforming this car into a drift car and pulling the camber out to about -3 in the rear and -5 up front. I will also be putting a built and boosted Chevy V8 engine in it. This will take place once I buy another daily.

Well that escalated quickly, this thing is stacking up to be a real beast.

I ran into some other things last night and tonight was a relaxation night. Being my birthday weekend, I am going to also use it to relax as well. At least until Sunday.

It seems like I shouldn't enjoy this thread (switching to N/A, going to FWD from Awesome Wheel Drive) and yet for some reason I am truly intrigued.

Interesting. Highly interesting indeed.

Hey everyone. I'm alive an well. I finally got around to getting my log in information reset.

After a little over a WHOLE year of not working on the car due to travel and personal recreation, I am proud to inform you all that it is almost complete. It will be done within the month.

Steps until completion;
- ABS Delete with braided brake line
- Drop my JDM 2.0L twin scroll engine swap and trans in.
- A couple of miscellaneous brackets need made.
- Sealing my tail lights (I cleared my tails so now they are chrome. I'll be the only LGT with clears. Woo!)
- Paint the rest of the car.
- Tuning

And then I am DONE.

So a brief rundown of some of the main things that I have completed in the past year;
- Fender Radius
- Shaved trim behind rear doors.
- Dropped rear end
- Converted trans to FWD.
- Sandblasted and coated my rear subframe. I undercoated everything else to prevent any contamination from road grime/debris.
- Bought new headlights and cleared them of the reflector.
- Rewired a couple things in the engine bay.

And some of what I've done in the past few days;
- Shortened UCA's to allow for more camber on the top arm versus the lower arm. So now I can effectively run another 1" lip on my rear wheels with the same amount of camber that I had before. Looks like I'll be calling CCW and getting me some 6" lips now. ^.^
- Pulled more camber up front so that it comes a little closer to matching the rear camber. (12F / 15R)
- Cleaned, sanded and painted my engine bay. I also deleted some unnecessary things and will be adding some shiny reservoirs and nice brake lines in their place.
- Bought and rolled new fenders.
- Installed a bunch of new replacement parts, like AC condenser, brackets, etc.
- Purchased a case of Corona that was well deserved.
- Installed new front-mount intercooler.
