Awesome, I look forward to the outcome of both projects!Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostThe GS is getting put in a corner in a week for a good while.. it's turned into a "long-term" project.. however, the new project gets picked up next weekend... it will be unveiled in a couple of months hopefully.
Multiple projects get hard to keep up with... Haha
Thanks!Originally posted by Zic View PostDon't be such a nag
he did the staggered setup because it looks good, and who says the car does not perform good, for his use?
Any how, awesome job man, only thing i would do different is bring the rear up a bit, and poke a little bit, and paint the hood.
How high is it off the ground btw`?
The rear is definitely not coming up, though! Haha, sorry. I've just always wanted to tuck wheel on this thing and have no reverse rake, and I finally did it.
And as stated prior, the hood is definitely getting painted and shaved. It was just fun fix in the meanwhile. 
Man, when I first put the fronts on, I found out that there was no load on the spring, so the fender was literally about a sixteenth of an inch above the lip of the wheel, and my lowest parts on my car were probably around 0.3" up or so. As of now, the front lip is about 1.5", and the lowest part is around 0.6-0.8" off of the ground, I believe.

Don't be such a nagOriginally posted by 87e30 View PostI am. Because while I love looking at stance I believe the car should still carry a lot of form... but that's because I enjoy driving the shit out of my cars. So whatever I do has to allow me to do that... awkward wheel/tire staggered setups don't really really help out the handling department.
Anyways, I will say you've done a good job achieving what you were shooting for.

I haven't seen much about the GS in a while! Is it still around?
Man, you just earned massive respect points in my book for this response..very mature of you. This is how everyone should take a negative opinion from someone... kudos my friend!Originally posted by 06tiburonofdoom View PostSounds like someone is FWD stance-brand-biased! Haha To each his own. And no, I will not be doing anything to a VW anytime soon.
You're welcome to do your thing to one, though!

Haha, well, there was a little dent on the hood when I got the car, so I fixed that and just painted it with chalkboard paint to have a little fun until I got around to doing all of the body work. So it WILL be going away! No worries.Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostCivic is awesome.. as a personal opinion, I would like to see the hood painted white to match as it would give it a classier / cleaner look.. the chalkboard brings the status down a notch, but the execution in the fitment dept is $$$. Well played.
What's the word on the Tiburon?
It just makes people laugh, so it's all good for now.
Thanks for the kind words, man!
The Tib is just sitting...waiting... Haha I was hoping to get the wheels ordered in a month or two, but a ton of stuff has come up, like the motor in the Civic passing away, which was all of my wheel money. =/ It blows, but oh well...

I ordered the good ol' B16A3 from the SiR-II, with limited slip, Hasport mounts, and a bunch of other little goodies. I have a Buddy Club Spec II exhaust sitting in my room, waiting. Haha It should be here next week! And with 38,000 original miles.
The steelies come from a company called Diamond Racing. Just look them up. You can get any size, offset, and finish you want for a damn good price!
I don't really wanna mess with front upper control arms because the factory ones are so much more low profile, and they already get me like -4.5 or -5 degrees of camber. And the wheels fit so perfectly as is up front!
Thanks for the suggestion, though. I've thought about it.
I've never been a big mudflap fan, really. But after I get a new rear bumper, I might have to come up with something. Cars with crazy stances ALWAYS look kind of high from the back, for some reason. Haha It's definitely not at all, though. Tucking wheel on 15s requires quite a bit of low!
I appreciate the love, everyone! Glad to see the daily getting some props, too.
It's getting there!
