UPDATE ON PAGE 3!! (i know, its about time)




i bought this car back in september and it has been my DD since.. no extremely "special" mods about it yet.. just a lot of suspension and motor work... when i got it, it was an auto, but now it is a manual...

opinions welcome.. onto the pics!




here is the car the day after i bought it... absolutely bone stock and ugly!!

again, opinions and/or advice welcome! let me know what yall think and i keep it updated!!

[six7teen]

BYAH!

[EJ_Allmota]

i liked the polished slips better but the car is looking great overall.. it has come a long way, props to you sir..

[six7teen]

yeah, i did too.. only problem was i only polished one, and got lazy on the other three... if i wouldve had all four polished, i wouldve NEVER touched those things with paint..

[Black4DrEK]

I like the SLips better and the other color for the car.. the dark red with slips was very clean IMO..... it has came a long way tho.. props to you

[quickdodge®]

Car is nice and subtle. I like it clean and damn near stock with a hint of mod here and a hint of mod there. Later, QD.

[Black4DrEK]

by the way DO you want to trade those slips for my ROTA SUBZERO's????

[2rotor]

an inspiration, my dd is a white EG8 :)
ek skirts you say?
i also like the slips better. the rs6 is a little too busy.

yep, they fit ALMOST perfectly.. you can get two or three christmas tree clip things into the bottom.. only part that doesnt match up perfect is where it meets the fender, but its a simple fix :bump: :bump:




reps added!!

[Mr.B18b1]

[DVSRX-7]

In my opinion, this is when it looked the best. What is it lowered on?

[FasTech]

My vote is on Maroon. Then, throw the slips back on it but polish them first.

[JHIT89]

i like the white but ive always been a fan of white cars

looks real good the way got it

[d-man478]

Nice car, nice work.
I like the white.

[Black4DrEK]

[E=MC²]

[SoLJames95]

How you going to throw the slips away like that???? They had sental mental value, from me to you with lots of love. :( J/K man that car has come along way. I think I was there when you first got it. It looks real good!

[cactusEG]

Car has come a long way. Looks great, but not the enkies...

[six7teen]

[khaxnguyen]

"He's lowered than meee! NOOO!" haha i like the home cut side markers =P well over good restoration.. remove the big rims. lol Props! +++

well right now the car is just primered white.... i was gonna finish up the body work and take it and get it painted back to the original color.. but now that its white, im lovin it!! so now im thinkin about takin it and gettin it sprayed white, lol!!

[Captain-Obvious™]

hell no... maroon again FTW it looked better that color...and IMO you should try to find some different wheels... I know you stated you got rid of the slips but like someone else said already the enkei's just look too busy...

but it looks hella better than when you got it...keep it up!

[DC2NR]

Looks good .. nice work.

[J-ROCK]

very good work on the car! as QD stated it perfect with not alot of mods done to the car! IMO i would keep it white and get some new rims! but good work overall! reps to you sir

haha, not yet.. if i do go with white though, the jams, engine bay, trunklid, etc will all be white as well.. those arent the problems for me.. my problem is deciding what i like best http://importatlanta.com/forums/images/smilies/11doh.gif http://importatlanta.com/forums/images/smilies/11doh.gif

[QUOTE=six7teen]dude, i gave you that clutch two months ago, lol.. but i know how it is...


shut up. it takes tools i dont have... i got like some 3/8 drives and thats it. no flat place to work, and get cold off and on so i dont know when to do the work...

[Ty 2FLY]

I have 3 questions do u still have those slips and how much did it cost to transfer the car from an automatic to a 5 speed? and did u do that your self ?!?!?

thanks

[six7teen]

I have 3 questions do u still have those slips and how much did it cost to transfer the car from an automatic to a 5 speed? and did u do that your self ?!?!?

thanks

1. no i dont have the slips.. i traded them for lots of transmission stuff..

2. it didnt cost me too much since i just did a lot of trading to get parts i needed.. only real buy i had is the auto to manual conversion mount.

3. yes, i did it myself

[six7teen]

YAY!!! i have four green dots now!! reps have been returned to all as well!! thanks guys :goodjob:

[six7teen]

so i decided its time to get the car painted.. so its raised up as high as it could go, body work is complete, some spots got RE-primered, and everything got taken off.. looks like a piece now, lol.. but here are some pics of it the day before she went to the booth!!

thats why you go low, and get stiffer springs!! and yes, it WILL stay that low.. i am a big fan of slammed egs! but on the plus side, it doesnt bottom out, tires dont scrub, etc.. :goodjob: tricks of the trade!

but anyways, thanks for the good comments.. reps will be added, and ill have more up as it gets completed!! :camera: :camera:
