      I don't like the white at all.... but oh well I'm broke so its gonna stay

      Then I went to a car show In Carlise PA and had some fun and broke my car.. 436 mile trip along along with drifting and TONS of rain

      I drifted till the tires ripped apart and then burned out until the exploded sacrificing my paint.. And somewhere along the way I destroyed my second gear syncro but everyone was loving it so I was happy.

      It was a lot of fun and my diff held up fine.. now I'm out of money and my car is on 3 different types of wheels and looks like compete ass... oh well Time for O.C. cruise week

        So I've been doing little things while finding tires and finishing my wheels.

        My guibo and center support bearing blew up and I fixed it

        Because I've been dragging my car around my brace was practically paper thin so I reenforced it With 1/4in Steel

        I thought my welds looked good. You can see wear part of it was worn through
        [IMG][/IMG]

        I Also Waxed my paint, i need to compound it and do it again

              On your 740 you said you had FA500s, just curious how you liked those in general...

                They where definitely the best coils I've ever experienced, they are worth the money on something like that. It was so easy to daily.

                  The inevitable happened and Cracked my pan. My coilover locking collars came lose and it lowered itself and i slammed a bridge joint really hard and it pushed my X brace into my pan. I didn't even know it cracked till i stopped at Taco Bell lol.


                  Heres a pic of the pan



                  I had it welded and took a look at my coils. I had to lower the whole front subframe and shit it was a super pain in the ass. Probably about 10 hours in labor.



                  Turns out my top hats where not put together right and it was binding at the bearings and making the collars spin


                  It sucked, I got ride of my x brace like I should have a while ago and I also took out my helper springs. I need to fine-tune the front end again but heres some pics of me and my buddy.






                  No comment needed about the sweet filters and shit lmao..

                  And I banged tha girl on the hood of my car and her stupid whore elbow put a dent in my hood

                        So I have a little update, I ended up getting a great deal on another set of style 19's from a junk yard. I sold my white ones because they were pretty beat up and needed to be refinished again


                        The new set really needed some loving and i wanted to change the color up. sanded them by hand 220/400/800/1000 then polish i probably should have gone to 1500 and taken my time.[URL=http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/dimitri_a/media/photo1-20.jpg.html][/URL]

                        So then I picked up some brand new hankooks and honestly I was pretty disappointed I stuck with 205/40 and 205/45 and they ran so much wider than all my other tires they are too tall in the front and I just think they are ugly. oh well Over all the really love the look of the gold and Im glad I finally did it.



                        Should have some real picture in the next few days. Any suggestions on a good tire let me know
