So how about you get this thing running! Ive been reading the build and sounds beastly. Good thing you decided to keep it man, too long of a thread to just end by saying " Sold for 17k" lol.

hehe i dont know if you noticed that it is running like a cheetah but it purrs like a kitten. i actually took it for a drive minus a windshield lol. but i will be ordering the windsheild at the end of this week.

yes i am glad i decided not to sell. cause if i had decided to then got my suspension and put the wheels on and looked at it i would have regretted it.

no regrets yet. it is coming together just a few little things more. to do then paint and wallah!

of course i am leaving some things to do later on down the road.like kouki taillights and stero set up. as well as some other junk lol.

i dont know if you can tell but the things that are going to be shaved are all shaved now. the rear 3rd brake lightthe antanee holethe wiper holethe upper body line on both sides

just have the lower rocker panel on the passenger side to fix now and the major stuff is done. then it is justa matter of getting it smooth.

Yep, definitely needs a BFG applied to the inside of the fender wells on the front so it will stop running. Going back up is not an option.

Back needs 2" drop and 4* more -camber. (give or take)

a BFG?

lol not familiar with that term.

if it could leave the front how it sits then i would.

as far as the back. i am not sure. i dont want to wear my tires out like crazy.

but liek i have said before living on the road i live on it isnt an option to go much lower. dirt/gravel roads filled with pot holes. for 2 miles befoe i make it to smooth concrete. makes a really lowered car not really that much of an option.

How do you like the powered by max stuff? I saw it on zilvia a while back and it looks to be quality stuff and relatively affordable (~$1000 IIRC). Also those RUCAs are cool, I haven't seen too many s13 RUCAs that are open on one side like the s14 ones, I guess that's so you can remove them without taking the damn strut off.

What was the shipping for the coilovers? I live like 2-3 hours east of you and I'm trying to get an estimate. They look good and for like 100 bucks more than megan I might get some of these and plus orange is my favorite color.

Sorry for the thread jack Idaho Tuner
