    Hey guys so it's been almost a month since my past update.
    Nothing much had changed up until this past friday, 10/14/16.

    Traded my Dub FelgenWerks for a set of Diamond Steelies
    Take a look!











    Diamond Racing Steelies 15x8, 0 offset. 165/45/15 in the front and 195/50/15 in the rear.

    Eventually, I want to get a pair of 165/45 for the rear as well, but these will do for now.
    I actually had to take one of the locking rings off the rear camber kits to allow for an extra bit of camber to make the 195/50 fit.
    As of right now, the car is out of commission due to another crank pulley failure. We didn't tighten the crank pulley bolt down enough.I'm sourcing a new one and I'll slap it on and call it a day.

    Thanks for looking guys! I post a lot more on Instagram than I do here, so follow me!

    Lol yeah one of the head pieces had been cut off so he sold it for cheap. I'm gonna try and fix it.
    They retail for $700 each, so $60 is a pretty good deal.

    I don't have many updates yet, but I'm looking at purchasing some more parts, installing more parts, stuff like that. I'll keep you guys updated.
    for more pictures daily, check my instagram @Stance_God
    I upload there almost every day

    Okay so been a sec since my last update. things have gotten somewhat rowdy.

    So first, you guys remember that I had hit a raccoon and smashed half the paint off my front bumper. Well I finally got around to ordering my new bumper for $63 off eBay. Painted using the Rustoleum Paint + Primer in Gloss white, matched perfectly.



    after



    It only gets worse from here
    made my way down to S&S Exhaust in Jacksonville (Y'all in Jax know them) and had them do a lil' somethin' somethin'.


    What's missing?



    Muffler cut off, Welded on this obnoxious, ricey, gay-as-fuck boso tip.



    So it now pops in between shifts which is totally okay with me
    Next, I picked this Momo Daytona XL racing seat up for $60 so thats pretty rad



    Next, I picked up this OEM radio from a Del Sol, which is cool because my stock one was absolutely dicked. slapped it in and fiddled with the speakers to get them to work.



    The radio worked great for about 2 days and then one day started smoking so I took it out and slapped this coin/cupholder in place of it. Gonna tinker with the radio to try and find the issue.


    Now I had posted way earlier about my old EF hatch, Timothy.
    I sold that car to my mom in Late February to afford the Dub FelgenWerks that are currently on my car. Well, she's not using it so I picked up some old struts and threw on some eBay sleeves that I had laying around.
    Also picked up some BBS reps (15x8, +20 with bald 195/50/15) and slapped them on timothy which resulted in this.
    These wheels have been sold, but I'm in the process of buying them back since this setup looked so damn good.


    So that's all I have for you guys at the moment. Plans from here on out are to just enjoy driving the car. Need to start showing it the TLC that it needs.
    Stay tuned guys! Follow me on Instagram @Stance_God

Also I had a e30 with some e38 BMW 16x8 (+23?) basket weaves, I think they would be sick on your ride after a redrill of course, I say keep an eye out.
    Hey thanks for the kind words man! Yeah I'd love a set of basket weaves, just need to find some lol

    Alright so here's the dealio.
    A lot has happened since the last update.
    we thought the TPS was going bad because of a thrown code. Got a used one and replaced. code went away, problem did not.
    Pics:


    Prior to my ownership of the car, it had sat without being run for 9 years. So the fuel tank was super rusty. Got a new one off eBay for $80, delivered in 2 days.

    yuck


    Old tank out


    New one going in


    Also got a new fuel pump sock. Slapped those in.





    Old vs. new


    Ready to go in


    SO all that being done, issue still persisted. FML right?
    Okay so we narrowed it down to injectors. Pulled them and found this on one of them.


    Well just decided to say fuck it. Just soaked the injectors in seafoam overnight and then slapped them in and started it up. Wouldnt you know, it ran perfectly? Filled it up with gas, drove it for a good 3K miles. Felt really good to be driving her again.

    LO AND BEHOLD. SHE FUCKS ME AGAIN.
    Hit a really hard bump, starting making a weird noise (always a bad sign).
    Took a look at the engine to locate the noise, the Crank pulley wasnt moving at all. No PS, no alternator charging.
    Come to find out, the woodruff key sheared off, taking part of the keyway with it.



    the chattering also ruined the pulley/harmonic balancer


    fuck my life right?
    I've sourced and bought a new woodruff key, pulley, and bolt. So now I'm going to tow the car to have the woodruff key welded to the keyway so it cant move. then we should be right as rain.

    So now for some good news. Got some goodies over time.
    Picked up this Z6 head that needs to have one of the valve cover bolt holes re-tapped. Other than that, its mint. also picked up the intake, throttle body, and vtec solenoid for it.
    All for around $50.



    Also "Acquired" this speed limit sign.
    Might turn it into a skid plate, who knows.


    So thats all I have right now, be sure to check back for more progress!
    Stay tuned

    So it's been a sec since I gave an update.
    Installed my tubular front control arms and maxed out positive camber for that hella good fitment mang



    Raised up the rear a bit to acquire a bit of poke


    Picked this up last week and painted it.
    OEM EG Ferio wing from Japan.



    Pardon the dirty front wheel


    So thats where I am right now.
    Running out of mods to do right now, so I'm just enjoying driving the car.
    I think my map sensor might be going out. I'm experiencing a stumbling acceleration and it smells a lot like gas.
    Well, stay tuned guys.

    Hey guys, it's been a moment since my last update.
    So I've just generally been saving up for other things as well as taking summer courses.

    I was checking on a facebook group and came across these for sale.
    For the price, I couldn't say no



    TR Motorsports C3M 15x9 +35
    picked these bad boys up for $150 SON

    Couldn't wait to get home and test fit them. Can't say I'm disappointed





    I also hit a Raccoon the other day
    So a bumper repaint will be coming soon.



    So, today I decided that I wanted to fill in the wheel well better while also saving some tire.
    Picked up this camber kit off eBay for $17. It was supposed to be all silver, but whatever.


    Out with the old



    My lady helping me out!


    I dont have any pictures of the new fitment yet, but I'll take some actual pictures tomorrow.
    I also have a few updates coming, so stay tuned guys!

    So, did some cutting today
    Upper control arms kept contacting the shock tower, so they needed to say hi to the world.

    (pardon how dirty she is )






    Sunshine Stance 4 in DeLand FL is this weekend, so now I'll begin prepping for that.
    stay tuned!

    Just need to find some 16" tires
    My brother might want them as drift wheels for his miata though.
    we'll see lol
    I'll sell them to you

    So guys, As of right now I'm looking at getting a rear camber kit and getting rid of some camber to fill out the wheel wells. I would get spacers, but I dont have enough lug to put even 6mm spacers on. Might look into getting extended lug studs in the future, but for now, dialing back the camber will have to do.
    stay tuned guys.
