Fuck my god damn car. Stupid fucking piece of shit. Who ever created the v-band clamps...go fuck yourself too.
V-band clamps are the best! I take it some of the piping isnt lining up correctly? I deal with those clamps all of the time in the aviation industry, if you need some help let me know.Quote:

Correct. Something so simple is now a pain in the fucking ass due to the stupid wastegate tube going back into the downpipe. I'm just going to remove the damn downpipe one more fucking time and have the tube cutoff and just have the WG vent to atmosphere. Everything on the car today has been a royal PITA. I would like to light the bitch on fire at this point.Quote:

Nah, you can either have the gases recirculate or vta. Vta is just louder which I don't mind. I was shooting to have the car at least started today but that doesn't appear to be happening. I'm done with it for today and will try again tomorrow otherwise you will see the fire dept. at my house. Lol.
Okay cool. I think that is how Jeremy has his Focus but not sure. Is that the same thing that makes SRT-4 Neons have such a loud turbo sound?Quote:

Yes, Jeremy has a VTA setup as well.
I just know almost half of the modded ones that I walk past has a loud turbo sound coming through the exhaust. Never knew what they did to it.

Some cars do, some don't. I honestly don't know what causes one to be louder than others. I'm assuming they're not running cats (mine isn't either).
Yay for test pipes!Quote:

Staying all-motor or boost?
All motor. Its just gonna be an all around great car. Coilovers are already taken care of along with the five lug swap. Davis is ordering my motor Monday morning.

Another admirer.
Is that his old car?
Unless Felipe got new wheels for the car, I highly doubt it. The description is talking about his old car though.Quote:

Ah gotcha. I've always liked those GTis.
I like them too. If it weren't for the fact that Germans make everything so expensive, I probably would've gotten one over the miata.Quote:

This is true lol He's just excited about it is all.Quote:

Turbo?? Hell no! haha We couldn't afford that. It's a stock C2 with an aero kit. Nothing special other than the fact that it's a 911.Quote:

It's cool :) The aero confuses a lot of people. I met a guy with an R8 in Tyrone and he kept asking me if it was a GT2 or a GT3 lolQuote:

Was the owner of the R8 black by chance?
Yes he was. I've been trying to remember his name.Quote:

Not until a track event at VIR where he kept getting passed on the straights by a V10 did he decide to install a twin turbo kit, which I've had the honor of getting a joy ride in.
That's so cool!! Thanks, danny!Quote:

Friends of The Newnan Crew, let me briefly share with you the bane of my existence for the last 4 days in my quest for moar low:
Thursday consisted of my prepping the car for the suspension swap. I hate suspension work and knowing my luck I knew I decided to get ahead of the curve and take the Progress coilovers out a day early in case of issue. As I predicted, one balljoint was seized in the coilover arm while to other balljoint had a spinning stud. After futile attempts to remove even with the help of Mr. Teng, I was forced to cut the balljoints off with the air saw the next day. Of course no Honda/Acura dealer or parts store carried the balljoints on hand :headslap:
Richardson came to the rescue and rush ordered me a set that arrived no more than 3 hours later! These bad boys arrived shortly after.

I pulled a perch out to get even lower.
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/m...7/24f6f9b5.jpg
After getting them in David and I literally did DIY alignments for a good hour going anywhere from -10 camber to +5 camber, toe in to toe out, etc. Finally after it was safe to drive I noticed ungodly scrubbing on flat ground, noises, and inability to steer upon cornering.
Last night I pulled the fender liners and most issue on flat ground was resolved, however I still had problems with even the slightest bump in the road and any cornering. Here's a picture of the issue....

This image is taken inside the fender, that blue metal you see is actually the wheel arch support which is behind your fender liner. The unfortunate solution? Beat the living shit out of it with what Pulzone and I like to call the "special tool", also known as a mini sledge hammer!

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/m...7/dd190a23.jpg
I did give it another go with the hammer after a test drive and beat it senseless more and primed it to prevent rust, just don't have a picture. This time, 90% of the issues were gone, but upon spirited cornering I'm still contacting that metal. The only solution left is to go in with an angle grinder at another point in time. For right now, it's good enough to daily.
Here are a few shitty night shots of the results so far:

A big shout out to all my friends who have helped me and are still helping me through this process, it really shows what great people you are!
Ultimately, to my knowledge no one has gone to such lengths on the DC5 chassis to drop this low and try to eliminate this contact, at least it's not documented.
Btw, my advan rg-d's are for sale as well as my exhaust if anyone wants them.
But it looks darn good now, mang!Quote:
