Mike90se/Ghostridden/Greeny meet pics

Welp,i took a drive down to mike's house to see his vg/ve carnage. Props to mike for a job well done, it basically looks like the car came with a stock ve.

Just needs some suspension work/a VE manual trans/and a few little doodads here-n-there..

Should look for a photography forum or a Rebel forum, I'm sure there's one where you can learn lots of cool things. I think actually gonna do that as well, let me know if you find one too lazy to look

that's how come i thought you went back to untinted tails. tinted tails are OK if you have 3x brightness bulbs. i consider it to be a safety hazard to block so much visible light on ANY lighting fixture of the car, not just headlights. but then again i am the guy who won't buy a car unless it has amber rear turn signals, or can easily be converted to have them. i was actually going to convert my grandpa's car but i didn't have the money at the time to buy some amber marker lights to stick onto the rear light cluster and rewire the whole tail combo lamp system minus the back-up lights.

but heck if guys can convert a VG to a VE, a few lights is a walk in the park

As everyone said,toks and b&g's

I got my toks from here----> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKIC...mZ150212388545

The b&g's were purchased from shox.com for about $200 with shipping.

If you are going to run ANY sort of drop spring, you need to at least get tokico struts, as kyb's are a bit softer strut.

I need to replace my rears pronto, they are worn out and the right one actually has some play... so I might be getting that set even though my front KYBs are only a year old. Do these require the same volume of oil as the OEMs?

The cartridge is the same size from one to the other,so yeah you would use the same amount of oil around the cartridge.

IIRC, I had to use ~2.5 ft of misc wobble extensions to remove a starter bolt that I couldn't even see on an S2000
