Project Blackout: Mrgreeneyes' Coupe Build

[idahotuner]

^are you a stalker?

[wackawacka]

Ide say hes more of a ->

[idahotuner]

OH burn . baby burn hehe

[idahotuner]

ok keegan i got another question about adjusting the rucas.

the middle part you twist it clock wise to go negative and counter clock wise to go positive correct?

i couldnt veiw the thread on gt factory to see how to set them up. registered and never got an email so i am back here asking. lolthank man.

[idahotuner]

if you want to be really low, remove the two locking collars and butt the spring perch right up against the lower strut mount (as i have). rumor has it that you can flip the strut mount upside-down for more clearance. i am about to test this rumor in the next few days. if so, you will be able to go stupid low.king collar and tighten them against eachother, you cannot just snug the locking collar up against, you HAVE to tighten the two against eachother.

i fliped the deal over but left the locking collars on and i can get my car stupid low on the front now. .

i actually need to lift it about half and inch to get clearance for my tires which are tall. so i cna turn the wheel.

[mrgreeneyes]

nice... i gotta flip my mounts over to go lower... i wanna go another inch or so lower the whole way around... low enough to necessitate 3"-4" ramps... ride height is an addiction... you always wanna go lower, and lower, and lower, til it becomes impractical, then you laugh and love it.

thinking of selling this car, what do yall think? get $5k out of it?

[idahotuner]

no you cant sell your car.

it has a retro look that i love.

[mrgreeneyes]

or if i find a minty hatch... ill swap my stuff over. i miss my hatchback too much... damnit.

[idahotuner]

hatches are the sex i would have to say.

[idahotuner]

PBM coils on the rust-free subframe.]

how about the brakes line how did you do that. and why did you drop it with out the pumpkin. seems like disconnecting the drive line would have been easier.?

[JRPS13]

theres not much difference in the coupe to the hatch, both can look really clean/good. but if you want trunk space for some subs, get the hatch imo its the only thing making the two different

[White Comet]

true there isnt much difference between the 2, but for looks, the hatch wins

[mrgreeneyes]

idaho, we had dropped the diff previously so that i could take it to my buddy to have it professionally shimmed to the proper tolerances.

diff was later bolted into the subframe to go back into the car as one unit.

i miss my hatch. i think ill buy another soon, swap my ish over... then sell this restored shell.

[White Comet]

Hahaha. I've already challenged him... Whoever can scrape the back bumper coming out of a driveway is the king. I'll win.

[mrgreeneyes]

im flattening my catback everytime i drive. you will never defeat me

ACE, thanks bro... im looking for a clean hatch to swap all my ish over to tho.. i miss my old one...

[Chris28]

Car looks great keegan, and lol at the ride height. I scrape on everything around here, and your a good inch lower than I am. I did the transmission swap a few weeks ago, and everything went smoothly. The transmission shifts perfectly. Thanks for all the stuff again.

yo yours looks the tits man. im loving it. glad to hear that it went well for ya, you driving it yet?

i miss my hatchback... let me know if you find a clean one... ill travel for a rustfree hatch... pref dohc so i have less work...

[Chris28]

Yeah man, I drove it autotragic for a few weeks before swapping it, and I've been driving it for about a month now with the 5sp. There are a few on craigslist around here, one like 5 minutes away. The reason they are selling it is cause they lost the title for it. I'm not sure the condition but I can check for you. Its the same color as your old one too, if that matters lol.

[mrgreeneyes]

as long as its rust FREE, im not too concerned about any other snags...

[White Comet]

i dont want to really go off topic, but i just noticed ur sig, is a q45 igniter chip really an upgrade? i always just thought u could use it? what differences would be noticed? i could always just ask u in person later but its fu(king 2am
