My Slow EG Sedan Build

[Sprinqer]

I think if you added some front camber and brought the height down some, it would look awesome! Good work so far dude.

but what is scrapping ? the oil pan, tranny, headers? or just the lip?

Headers, soon the oil pan.
But I've ordered some things that will allow me to go even lower

Hey, I was reading about Hood Bras. And it isn't recommended you keep them on for a long time, because it is claimed that shit gets under the farbric and does a grinding dance with the paint. Any merit to that?

hm, I'm not sure. I've only had it on for about a week or two.
I wash my car fairly frequently though, and take off the hood bra when I do, so I clean both the car and the bra at the same time. thanks for looking out though!

Ok so I was having major rubbing issues in the rear due to the 195/50/15 tires, so I swapped them out for these bad boys

Achilles Economist 165/45/15



which led to this



no more rubbing! I've never been a big fan of camber, so in the rear, the camber is only a few degrees.

So then I picked up this used Momo Monte Carlo off ebay for $95 shipped. probably not the best deal but whatever



Now, the clutch has been sticking on me in the past few weeks, causing the car to stick in gear eventually causing me to stall. not fun.

after some snooping, I found out that the cause was a blown Clutch slave cylinder. Picked a new one up at Advance Auto with a limited lifetime warranty for $18.

swapped it out within 45 minutes or so

here's the old vs. new



So that's all I have for you guys right now, I have some packages coming in the mail soon, so stay tuned!

[Loaf31]

Threw some 7mm spacers on the rear and added some camber. just took some pics for you guys

I'll try to see if I can fit it in the budget, but that sounds like a lot of body work and I'm lazy lol.
Eventually, I'd like to make it have more of a rat-rod type feel.

What's up guys,
So I picked up a little somethin' somethin' the other day

Got this engine lift kit from EliJoe_Low on Instagram for $85 shipped. I went to S&S Exhaust and had them weld it in for $40. It's supposed to lift the engine 1" closer to the hood as well as improve the steering rack and driveshaft angles, and the results are great! Here are some pics:

Here's the kit. It comes with two new bolts for the side motor mounts as well as spacers for the rear mount. The two torque mounts on trans and power steering pully bracket need to be removed for this kit to work.



this is what the new mounts look like all welded up. Not the prettiest, but they'll do just fine. You can see how the new bolt hole is around an inch higher than the old one.







This is the rear motor mount and it has 3 bolts which attach it to the subframe. The spacers pictured above will keep it from binding when the other two mounts are raised.



Along with the spacers, I had to run out and get these new bolts which are twice as long as the stock ones so that I can still have a good amount of thread going into the subframe.







It started getting dark at this point and I got more into the work, so I forgot to take pictures Rest assured that the kit did the job well and I no longer scrape exhaust!
But I'm still scraping the front sway bar sometimes so that's coming off next

A couple weeks ago I picked up this rear disc brake conversion from an integra for a whopping $20 I just need to find some e-brake cables from a teg so I can swap them in.

Next items on the list are:
1) drop forks (for more strut travel + more low)
2) rear fog light
3) alignment
4) camber???
5) idk lol
