Ok So I tried updating this not too long ago but after i spent like an hour putting everything i accidentally exited out of the window. oops.. finally have a little time to do nothing so why not right.
Done a lot of work to the car lately. i want to redo this whole thread but thats for another night.lol
since my last post i have done quiet a few things to the teg,
I have recently purchased some Skunk2 pro2 coilovers and a set of 2 inch drop forks. they discontinued making these like 11 years ago. it took me some time to track them down but there great. give you a 2 inch drop without messing with the susension geometry. I still have on order some extended balljoints and new outer tie rods and im going to reverse the new tie rods to help bumpsteer.
heres to the car i bought that all this was on.
He t boned someone really bad i ended up taking the suspension and parting this out.
During
heres the after pic
broke another stock jack during this.
I hammered the pinch welds flat for more clearance. I plan on have my buddy cutting the entire bottom inner fender support out and welding a decent thickness sized piece of sheetmetal in.
Heres random slammed pics. wanna go lower but gotta shave some stuff first.
thats a mini bic lighter
thats actually taken with a good camera.
i never rock a hood. it doesnt latch half the time and im too lazy to fix it cause i have different plans with my tax return
fuckin around. rocked it for like a week. i loved all the looks. it adds like 1000hp.lol
I also started shaving the rear hatch area to prep it for airbrush.
hard to see. but havent had a lot of time for it been working on my other car.
bought a new hood
rearranged some things. its different now. double din block off. no lighter and ash tray anymore.
made a new shift boot
heres some pics of a car ive been working on. ive been wire tucking it and helping put it back together. its an ek hatch fully built minime turboed on 28lbs. its fast a FAWK!
I love workks. Haven't decided on wheels. I know I'm getting xxr 531s for dailys but I'm thinking I want some bbs rs's or some ccws. I can't decide. I need a respray and a face lift first but that'll be happening soon.
So the car is put back together and everything. been working to get it running a lot. it will sit n crank but wont turn over and idle.
Its got spark, fuel, checked timing, checked fuses, traced all wiring to make sure it was done right, battery holds at 12.6 amps, havent checked relays but i wouldnt expect that.
It ran just fine when i pulled it into the shop. I sandblasted my throttle body with the map and iac on but masked. im sure a little sand got to them, i wouldnt think that would make it not run, maybe run bad if they were damaged or need re indicated.
im an idiot.lol I put the motor back together without taking the towels out i put ont he intake side of the head. so now it runs fine. fml. thank god!!.haha, will update soon.

i like the skunk2's but i didnt ride on them long, i bought hyper coil600 lb. 4" springs so i could drop the rear lower and put the rears up front. n it drives like a slammed car should. rough but its really not too bad, i reccomend them
