I started looking around for mods and to save money I thought I would buy eBay parts :)

Put my stock mufflers back on after a short while and sold the SRI to get the Stillen G3.

Decided I needed to be lower. Bought Tein H-Techs and SPC rear control arms and Toe Bolts. Settled ~1/2" lower but this is the day after drop:

Bought carbon fiber Autokits-X ryou front grill, rear diffuser and custom side skirts, unfortunately the sides were painted silver, so I plasti dipped them :D

Test fitting some wheels I had been eying

Looks like only a couple pics are showing up, photobucket is what I use for pic hosting.
Look forward to your thread (when I can see all of it) :)

Like all the AutoX parts, that grill looks very good. So you're rocking 285s on all corners?
Nice! What are your wheel specs!

Thanks Brad. I'll update the OP, the wheels are staggered and running 225/ZR30's on the fronts. I never got an offset measurement on these but the rear is deeper.

Whenever you take the rims off again the offset should be stamped inside FWIW. I thought the pics looked staggered, glad you confirmed I wasn't losing my mind.

Cool progression. I put on my S-Techs today I'll be putting up pictures in my thread tomorrow. Glad you're changing the wheels it puts the car on a whole different level & looks much better IMO. Keep up the good work

I cannot confirm that but I do remember looking for these stamps and not being able to find them, perhaps it is me losing my mind. I was so excited to get them on all I knew is that they definitely fit, I didn't look very hard tho and the next time I have the wheels off will be next week.

The key I have for the lugs stripped so I had to order that and it won't be here until sometime next week :doh:.. On the plus side I am also getting black end caps, my set is red but I think putting a black cap instead of a red one will look better, right now I'm running them open ended.



Thank you. When looking at springs I narrowed it down to two, the S-Techs or the H-techs. Since my car is a DD and I have a lot of areas that have very large angle differences in the roads I had to go with H-Tech, got them here from ImportPartsPro. I love the looks of S-Techs but had to sacrifice the difference, as it is I still scrape occasionally and that's with the journey bumper.

Believe me there is no one more glad than me on the wheels right now :D As soon as I bought them I loaded them in the G and drove to the Tire Guy who put tires on and did my alignment afterwards. I couldn't get them on much more quickly :)

^^^ This guy just can't wait lol

Car looking nice C. Congrats
A little tire shine would make it look even nicer. Lol

Okay,
You need to tell more about the "onscreen android."

Why wait when you can build!


Thanks Jams but I never touch the stuff :D The tires had a lot of dust on them the day I put them on that has been coming off with every wash. Hopefully I'll get some better pics up soon but I'm limited by my cell phone camera. Still awaiting your build thread..


Ah yes the on screen android. Due to popular demand and my PM inbox blowing up with the same question, I will be adding some pics with an explanation of what I did in the near future. Stay tuned to this thread for further details :)

I NEED to know about this :bowrofl:

Rome is not built in a day:icon40: No need to rush

Do not mistake me as a plebeian for if Rome could have been built in one day, they probably would have :D

Besides I don't think I'm rushing I got the parts specifically to put on my car :) But I do admit once I have the parts in hand I don't like to sit on them

Damn you made me have to look up what plebeian mean lol
