So I created the Mesh thread to support all out Mesh Habbits. I finalllly have something to prove my self worthy of holding the position of Mesh Crew Leader...

Here is what it looked like as of the beginning of the year:



And here it what it looks like as of today...

(Don't mind dirty fitment shots, Gravel Lot next to house + Rain = For The Loss.)

Front Fitment: Very Happy!

Rear Fitment, How SEXY!:

I can only seem to find one of my Coilover Wrenchs, so the drop is what I had it currently set at before. That will be changed soon, as soon as I borrow one of my buddies, and we can get that sucker slammed.

Front Drop (Not near enough!!):

Rear Drop (Not near enough!!!):

And here you go guys!!!

(Favorite Shot!!! Shes so low, all I had to do was raise arms up, lol)(^^ Second Favorite Shot!! ^^)

..Now with BRAND NEW Gold Enkei 92 Mesh Rims, 15x7 +25 w/ Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/50/15 Tires.

Sorry for the somewhat repeated pics, just wanted to get every angle and whore the hell out of my car, before I worked my 10 hour shift today. Man am I so happy I went with the Gold Enkeis instead of the Blacks, I love it so much. Contrast is your friend! (Thanks Adrian)

It seems like I need to get an alignment though, I am getting a bad angle of my wheels when I turn (Caster), you can notice in some pics as well, maybe related to my Mystery Tension Rods...

I also just washed the car last night and already it has a fine coat of dust from the lot that is off our house *Tear* and also a Bird left a nice congratulations on my rear taillight/bumper, as you can see in some pics as well. Let me know what you guys think!!! (Full Car Spex available on request.)

Oh, and for those who want to know what is under the hood:



KA AND PROUD!!! and it will not be changing any time soon, it is just too clean to let go. When it does change it will have a "T" on the end of its code, and that is all.

240 "Build Thread" Coming soon... Won't much be a build thread as a 240 journal...

Yea, the congrats wasn't noticed till half way into the shoot, but I was too excited to stop, clean, and start again. Hehe.

Man, I am glad my car inspired you to finally take the leap, you will be sooo happy. My Suspension setup is just Entry Level, but I am soo happy on how my car sits and reacts to my every which command.

Front Suspension is just: Suspension Technique Sway Bar, Front Strut Bar, Tension Rods & Camber Plates. Strut Bar is going to be replaced soon because it is unknown and cheap & Tension Rods are in really bad condition and will most likely be purchasing my friend's SPL V2's.

I do need to correct myself in my OP, I stated I needed to adjust my Camber, which is incorrect, I need to adjust my Castor... Tension Rods.

Lol, yea I am a garage whore & I can't wait to become a street whore, wait... uhh... yea... ok... Well I would be making good cash.

No worries, I paid $650.00 plus shipping. Reason being, they were Brand New and my Mesh Dealer's prices went up, so my prices went up too. But they were brand new, so I know what I was receiving, so I was willin' to pay top dollar for them.

Hatch Power!! Hehe thanks for the words, I like "Squared" off tires (not stretched, flush with rim) and well I have seen the size on a few other 240's and I like it, lower profile with some enough meat to protect my wheel on the shytty roads. Honestly, pictures don't do the justice on this lip, it looks soooo much better in person, no joke. I like in Des Plaines, Illinois with my Rautweiler and shotgun...

I hope I can get on this group buy, I am still in the maybe catergory, based on my check and I have some other shyt that I need to take care of, all depends.

Oh, and my car looks lowered, because...it....is? Hehe.

I like the 1 piece lip better then the 3 Piece. Also why I liked the G-Grow Lip back when you could find them.

how do you get your tires so flush with the fenders? Thick rims or wheel spacers? I would say the tires, but they are only 205's. Im trying to get the non-sucked in look because it just looks amazing when they poke out like that. Thanks

Looks good!

However, it'd look better with no wheel gap, spacers, and a roll
