nothing major going on, nice weather out lately so i washed my wheels yesterday lol tomorrow ill have a better update, gunna tear down the front end and extend my front LCA's. Also gunna remove the helper springs on the front coilovers and re-adjust accordingly.

gotta love wearing shorts and a t-shirt in mid December.

Took this picture last night, figured id sleep on it and see how I felt. I still dont know how I feel about it. It kinda looks good, obviously would look better if I worked it a lil bit. But I feel like its almost too much? Idk, im gunna do what I gotta do to the front and hopefully I get some opinions before I go further with the rear.

I just like the idea of tucking rim lol

If it was one flowing fender, I would love it. Get rid of the gap and I'd say you're on the money.
Tuck them ramz!

yea would weld/grind em so it looks flush. also would change the angle a little bit so its less rounded. I want it to have more of a stock fender thats just severely pulled look.

Found out today my axles are definitely NOT binding. I took the springs out, put the strut back in and completely bottomed out the strut. Loosened the axle nut and there was still plenty of play on both axles. So thats not my issue. It may have been something I did to my sway bar links tho, I tac'd some washers in place on the LCA's for the end links, and I think it may have been interfering with me tightening it all the way which then when I took a corner it would vibrate and shake up and down. At least I hope thats what it was cuz im sick of having my car feel like a death trap around right corners or bumps.

Took out the helper springs and raised the front about 3/8in., but I might lower it back down. also put my rear bumper on and made some little flare extenders to go onto the bumper. Decided to just stick with the flares as are for now. Eventually im going to get two more front fenders and cut out the flares from those to redo the rears, because im still not really happy with them.

Oh yea and I cleaned the plasti dip off my front bumper. gas works wonders on plastidip.

Thankyou! and I know what you mean it totally does. ( like in the third pic up from the bottom, looks mint lol )

Fricken killer! love it.

Thanks dude!


So I got some grainy cell phone pics. If the weather is decent tomorrow im gunna try and get some more shots with my camera camera.

It never ceases to amaze me how fast you can rust metal with a few household chemicals. this is after spraying it down 2 or 3 times over a few hour period, and then letting it sit over night.




pretty sure this last one was before it sat overnight. Thoughts on the bumper? (ive since then sanded it a hair more and added some metal for some rust accents.)


Annnd I forgot I did this too. rear speaker cover, but i took out the speakers and 3rd brake light and re-upholstered it.

SUCCESS! Fixed the stupid issue ive been having forever. It was the stupid washer I welded to my control arm for my sway bar end link. Causing it to sit at a weird angle when the car is on the ground and when the suspension compress's it bounces off the car. I feel stupid for ever thinking that was a good idea lol oh well its fixed now, and I can actually drive the car without worries! YES!

Anyways no pics of my car but I helped a friend test fit some wheels tonight so I snapped a few pics of his car. Pretty pumped to help him make his car nice for next summer. Even though its a MK4 (kidding of course, I used to have a MK3 so its an ongoing joke with us)

DEM REPS DOE

Ignore that gnarly crack/hole in the bumper. Were gunna put the stock front bumper back on and hes just gunna run a GLI lip. (this is a duraflex R32 kit, quality was sooo bad)

He got 8.5 ET30 for the fronts (which are these) and then 9.5 ET20 for the rear. I think his car is gunna look F*****g tits once these are on it.


Yea so I know thats not my car related but it is "stance" related lol and im just super pumped for this like I said

[sketchy_sentra]

Soo I cleared the car today. After sitting outside last night the dew made it rust more and this morning it was at the perfect level of rust for me. Looked nice and gritty. I love it. cant wait to get pics of it out in the sun this bitch gone shine lol as much as rust can shine anyways.

By the time I got my ass out the house it started sprinkling out so I only took a few pics. But got damn I love me some cleared over rust.





She purty. Needs more width tho

[sketchy_sentra]

Tried to edit a picture

[sketchy_sentra]

Okay okay, last picture dump until changes happen. Next plans are raise the front strut towers by 1.5in and raise the engine/transmission by about the same, preferably more.
