Sooooo.... It's been a while. Between moving to a new house and just money in general, I just haven't had time to work on the car or do any updates. Buuuuut, it's over due so here we go!
First off, the vert's goin 5 lug! Here's the new fronts installed. Pics of the rear will be along shortly.
Here's a side view of the new wheels. Fronts are 18x10 +15. May/May not tub the front fenders. Absolutely ZERO rubbing issues anywhere (with out tires that is). This pic is also without the suspension being compressed or adjusted, as well as no adjustment on the camber plates. I have adjusted the camber plates to the maximum negative camber aloud by the plates and the top of the wheel sits flush with the fender.
Pulled the rear sub frame. Have a freshly painted sub frame ready to go in along with a few other goodies. Upgrading to a VLSD, rear 5 lug, boxing in all the OE arms and repainting, also have a full Energy Suspension bushing kit being installed. Once I get a few extra dollars I'll upgrade to a SPL suspension arms.
While the rear sub frame is out, I wire brushed all the surface rust. Then I used a rust stopper made by SEM products. Finally, I undercoated the entire area above the sub frame, rear wheel wells and over the exhaust canister (we all know they rust right there). No pics of the final undercoated area as of yet.
I also installed one of those nifty little throttle rotors you see all over the place. Is supposed to help throttle response. If nothing more, at least it matches the rest of the stuff under the hood!
And here is where all the really good stuff will fill in! Still working on the setup, but it should be pretty intense once its done!
Also, if anyone needs a front mount kit let me know! I have the Blitz LM off my vert being sold so I can swap over to a liquid to air setup.
MOAR PICS SOON! Keep an eye out, we've got the car in the shop and a bunch more parts to go in! Also, I'll be swapping every exterior light to LED (minus the headlights which are already HID).
