I aquired all these things in a 2-4 week period. I've just got to find time to install them. Springs are being done in the morning so I can ship my Progress out to another org member. As for the rest.... hopefully within the next month and a half or so. SR20DEN/sloppymax..........HELP!!

Bunch of Crap.......



Energy Suspension Polyurethane Motor Mounts. Thanks Matt @ Blehmco for this whole setup!



Energy Suspension Polyurethane Control Arm Bushings

 

Energy Suspension Polyurethane Front Lower Sub Frame Bushings



Energy Suspension Polyurethane Shifter Bushings

 

You will hate to go to the mailbox for that bill.........LOL

Nice! Put all of it in and go for a nice long drive!

 

Wilwood Big Brake Kit.....Needs pads, and be cleaned......Thanks blubyu2k2 (old sn)



Washed the engine bay, killed my DDE Ignitors.....Thanks Matt @ Umnitza.



I'm still missing my 561t in this picture. I bought it 2 weeks ago, and it still hasn't arrived. I sent the guy an email around 6pm today though.

556u Transponder Interface......thanks ebay!



Tein S-Tech Springs.....I just want to be lower. Sending off tomorrow my Progress Springs in a trade with maximillus. Thanks for waiting man.

 

geez, i thought i had alot sitting around. that is the bad thing about picking up alot of stuff at once is finding the time to get it in. anything i can help with just let me know. also, i hope polyurethane weighs less than the stock ones do.

 

Dammit I'm not done yet.

 

My already installed, Apex-i VAFC II.....Thanks Nismo3112!



19 x 8.5 Millie Miglia Evo5's........They handle like 19's should and not as bling as my Privat Profil's, but I've always wanted these and now I have them. I'm a wheel freak and like to change up every so often, so these will more than likely have a future in someone else's hands.....Thanks Amit!







My Cardomain has "Install Encounters" and "Impressions" of everything I've done. Give me time to install these, and complete what I've started. In the meanwhile, you can see what I've updated with these add-ons. It's one big page and not really organized to my liking, but I don't care. I'm too lazy to change it up. I might eventually.......www.cardomain.com/id/deckdout2

 

you must have a low-maintenance woman to be spending all this money on your car.....especially when she could make you put all that stuff on HER maxima

 

... and not on your wedding...

 

Btw, make sure y'all have a good big press for them motor mounts (specifically, to get the stock ones out), because if not they are a PITA.

And I still like the look of those wheels...

 

Trust me she get's plenty of money, definately not lm.

I'm a thrifty shopper when it comes to mods. This might look like alot of stuff, but the total really isn't that much. Out of all these, the wheels were the highest of course, but I made out ok with the rest of the crap.

 

Very nice!! Newb Question: Does that mount come with it?

 

Yes, I believe the mount comes with it. I bought mine used from an org member and it was already attached. Sloppymax bought his new, and I believe he had a mount with his.

 

That's what I'm worried about, I'm not sure where to even start to get the old ones pressed out. Hopefully Matt or Haydn will give me a hand with those.

 

its ok, ive been lifting again.

 

Now that's funny.

 

Don't bend the wheels...

Nice acquisitions, especially the wilwood kit

 

Well, the problem with the motor mounts is that the mount has such a thin "lip" its hard to secure it tightly enough to press the stock inserts out. If you find a good enough press, it might take care of things for you.

This is what we did:





Put it in a hot coal oven and melted the liquid filled stock insert FTW...

There is then a metal sleeve left to remove and we used a Sawzawl to cut through that (but be careful not to cut into the actual motor mount) and hammer and chisel to knock the sleeve out.

After you get the stock inserts out, ts pretty easy to get the ES mounts in with a press or you can do what Tilley did and just use a spring compressor for that.

 

Yeah, the mount comes with the unit, but if you happen to not have one, I've seen em selling on eBay for 6-8 bucks or something like that.

 

What kind of install job for the suspension and shifter bushings?

 

I don't have any suspension bushings yet, but the shifter bushings were pretty straightforward. I've only done the 2 "banjo" bushings and not the 4 smaller ones and those took me less than 30 mins. Btw, the ES shifter bushings are only for the 6 speed. The only bushing I'm aware of for the 5 speed is the one that Larrio's "firm" makes.

 

Bragging doesn't become you

 

Hmm ... ok. How does the stick feel with the new bushings?

 

Paramy, whenever you'll get done post some pics in the members ride section. I guess your car willl look like Amits, only black. BTW agian, I would love to see some new pics of your ride, with Evo's and the new drop.
That drop that you have looks already good to me. Well I guess you like riding low huh.

 

It feels great. There is now almost no lateral movement of the shifter when each gear is engaged; its much tighter. Shifting takes slightly more effort now (even with plenty of white lithium grease) but I'll see if the bushings loosen up or break in over time. Maybe someone else who's had these bushings in for a long time can chime in.

 

Nice mods! Can someone tell me what the Apex-i VAFC II actually does?

I read alot about it but don't understand the importance.
