I thought you are getting air?

 

The air setup I was gonna buy sold. I'd love to have an air setup but I simply can't afford it right now unless it was a deal that I couldn't pass on.

I'm going to go with the swifts for now and possibly buy some sway bars to install along with them.

Then I'm going to start saving the $860 for the Ecuteck tune. That'll complete my power mods and should give me one helluva quick convertible G. Surely with the LTCAI, M370 intake mani, FI LTH's, and FI CBE all working together with the Ecuteck tune I'll be running over 300hp to the wheels. Fingers crossed. I'll def have a dyno sheet to post once that's finished.

I'll run her as is after that while I slowly save up the $2000-3500 for air. Not gonna promise I'll pull trigger on it. Just depends on how happy I am with the 1.5" front and 1" rear advertised drop on the swifts. Time will tell

 

With all power mods you have you should aim more than just 300whp with tune!

 

Just picked up these bad boys! Good deal imo. Thanks G37Pillow!

Swifts are next.

 

I didn't know that Motordyne made sways for our cars.

Nice find in the FS forum.

 

this... there really isn't enough room for those manual compressors to compress when you have them mounted on a coil rung..


there is a notch at the seat of the strut to help with how the springs should seat... as far as mounting it.. the top hat does not need to perfectly align..
ive done mine recently and you just need to be close to it.. you can twist it to align after you have bolt the top of the strut in place.

 

Thanks John. I knew you'd approve since you've been the biggest advocate for sway bars being pushed up on my list.

Honestly I didn't know that Motordyne offered sways for the 37's either. But after a little reading I discovered they are actually the the top option as far as stiffness vs stock. 180% stiffer at the highest setting. Hotchkis is 120% right?

I'm still getting the swifts tho. Most likely this week or maybe on the 1st of the month when I get paid.

 

I wanted to post some more pics of the wheels in regards to fitment. Remember the convertible has a 1" wider rear fender than the sedan and the coupes.







Standing directly over the rear drivers side ^^^


A little from the side so you can get a little more perspective.



Finally from the rear. Which is my favorite angle to show how meaty and bada$$ the fitment is IMO.

Thoughts, feedback, criticism, and recommendations are welcome!!! Keep in mind i have a pair of project kics 15mm spacers in front and 20mm in back. So there could be a switch around if the argument was convincing enough. But I'm highly pleased with the results. Can't wait to get the black n silver "W" center caps and the black iconix lugs installed to complete the look and add to the color scheme I'm going for.

 

That's somewhat minor poke. However, that's some pretty obvious gap. So... lower the car on Swifts, accept the new negative camber as the new normal, observe that both poke and gap are gone once dropped... and all will be right with the world.

 

Yeah, just need to get it close, then a little motivation will get it lined up.

Fresh pics are looking nice Reddi, what tires are you running in back, looks a bit stretched but fitment overall seems pretty good. Like John said, drop it then take it from there. Good thing about spacers is they're easy to replace and also pretty easy to resell so if you need to dial it in a bit no biggie.

 

Fitment looks good as of now but once you lower it you will need bigger spacers to make them sit flush.

 

I agree! I love the negative chamber look. Didn't realize that's what it was called but I dig it. In its minor forms I dig it at least. Sway bars and swifts will be coming in the next 30 days.

 

Red, this build is coming out quite nicely. The wheels look excellent and I agree with everyone else. A set of Swifts would really set the car off.

 

Lookin good red! Like those rims.

Didn't know the vert fender was wider.. Jellin!


13 pages already! Damn!

 

I appreciate that. The wheels made a huge difference imo. I really really liked the vossen cv4's until I saw how amazing the work vsxx's looked against the G lines. Can't wait to get the black n silver caps and some project Kics lugs on there. Should have both in the next 5 days or so.

Swifts will be paid for in 2 weeks so installed in about a month.
