My Slow EG Sedan Build

[Loaf31]

So, these came in the mail the other day.
Today, I finally got around to putting them in.
Don't have any pictures of the installation, but I have these.

Lotek Struts


eBay extended top hats.



In the short test drive that I took, I can definitely feel a difference. Everything feels way stiffer, more under control.
I'm going to be doing a lot more suspension work in the next week or so, so keep your eyes on this thread

Stay tuned

Messed around with the camera last night





Stay tuned, I have some parts coming in the mail!

(Pic heavy post)

The day has come.
New wheels delivered by FedEx this morning. (Prepare for lots of pictures)




Dub FelgenWerks Classico 15x8, +25




Wrapped them in the 195/45/15


and then they made their way onto the car.





Then, took some pics at one of my favorite spots.





That's all I have for you guys right now, but I'll be getting some more updates really soon, so stay tuned!

Well, sold the bottlecaps for $160.
was able to fit all four into my trunk!


I was spotted at my college lol


The leaning tower of tires


and a list of all the events I plan on attending in the coming weeks


also, new wheels are on their way, so stay tuned guys!

some more of the bottlecaps

[Loaf31]

Found these BMW Bottlecaps today for a great deal. All 4 with useable tires for $75. Going to sell the steelies.


and after a quick clean and a patched hole in one of the tires I got them on the car.









Better than steelies. makes a big difference in the look of the car.
New setup coming soon

Also picked up these two 195/50/15 tires with 50% tread for $10 each.



Stay tuned, folks.

Well, a lot has happened since I last updated.
Turns out that two of the Fittipaldis had small bends, so the guy wanted to trade back for the XXR's. So I got the fittis back. Rode on those for a while.



Then, picked up these 14" steelies with 80% tires for $80.
Took the fittipaldi's off, gonna sell them. Put these on until I get new wheels.





Then, these came in
195/45/15 Toyo Proxes TR1
All four for $230 delivered to my door.



So, my new setup will be close to what it was with the XXR's, but tweaked a bit. Want to get new wheels, get them mounted and balanced, and get an alignment before The Auto Combine 2016 on April 2nd.
We'll see how this goes. Stay tuned guys

Introducing my new money pit.
His name is Timothy.
Picked him up earlier today for $200.
Had a blown Head Gasket, was fixed with blue devil by previous owner. Works, so I'll leave it for now.

Needs:
Hood Hinges
Misc. Interior Plastics
New Passenger fender
Corner Lights (ordered)
One headlight bulb
Thermostat (?)

Other than that, this car drives like a Dream. Cable trans, manual steering, and I love it.
Can't go wrong for $200. More updates soon.





He'll have his own build thread on here.
Stay tuned, folks.
