voghland springs with stag struts
es shift kit
timing bump

here are some pics! let me know what do u guys think!

 

Everything looks pretty good to me. Still needs a little TLC.

 

Looking good, keep up the good work.

 

yea i know. still working on it!

 

Looks good, not a big fan of the tails though.

 

Thanks man!!

 

i wanted to try something different, it does look much better in person! i might redo them later

Can anyone even see your signals through that dark a$$ tint/vinyl?

And I would have spent the money fixing the scrapes and rust around the wheelwells instead of cheap mods, but I guess I'm just getting old

Not a terrible start man, but prioritize!! Most important thing you'll learn about modding. You can put pearls and diamonds on a turd, but at the end of the day, it's still a turd. Get that car up to snuff first


P.S. LED work looks great, nicely done!

 

The car will be goong in to the body shop in spring for a full repaint, dont wanna do it in the winter due to all the salt here in ny.

 

And turn signals u can see good! It is only two coats of spray tint plus clear coat!

 

nice tails and led work keep it up and keep us posted

 

Damn, that Vogtland drop looks better than I thought it would. Good looking car, definitely feeling the tints.

 

maintance done on the car!

engine off 03 se with 67000 miles
tranny fully rebuild
new alternator
new starter
valvle covers off 04
exedy clutch
new maf
guttered all cats
power steering pressure hose
new all mounts
all new coil packs
new ngk spark plugs

all this done in last 4 months

 

Looking good....

 

thumbs up for doing a clutch swap on a fwd!! i like the car too, i have the inch spacers in the rear also, if u want the back to be flush just get some z or g 18's and it will be on point

 

Looking good! I do have one quesiton. Why 20% tint in NY? That state is strict on their tint laws.

 

I just love the way it looks!

 

I had g35 18s before, i sold them and for now i had to use stock. Thats why i got spacers! In couple months i am planning to get g37s 19s

 

I did most of maintenance you had to do on yours.

Hopefully you put OEM mounts. Stock vs aftermarket mounts is a huge difference.

 

 

*ahem*


Tints



*SMACK*

 

Did you have the Vogt's on in these pics?

 

I love the 5%, can barely see me, and in Summer time big help.....

 

Yes. Few days after installing them.

 

Wow I'm actually liking the tail lights I was actually gonna do something different like this too. Looks like you beat me to it! Looks great!

 

 

Nice, I like them better than my HR's.

 

How do those Voghtland's ride/handle?

 

are those just regular leds in the dash? if so what kind are in the gauges and in the console

 

great progress and +1 on the swap every max i had thats like the first thing i do lol

Those gauges look bomb man, probly the best looking I've seen on a 5.5. Getting those for sure! There's almost no hot spotting, right on

 

wanted to ask about your input/review on the spring, how they feel/handle?

also your review of the struts, heard couple things about them...

 

I was gonna get those vogtlands as well, then I saw the spring rate wasnt very stiff. Seemed more like an oem spring just shorter. I bet its a comfy ride. My coil overs hurt my *** cheeks...

 

I'm curious since you did that rebuild on the transmission are you still getting that 3rd gear crunch when you shift into 3rd gear?

 

The spring are a little stiff copare to oem, it rides pretty good. The drop is not really even, it looks higher in the front! The shocks are preaty good for now, idk how long will they last

 

Not really, they are preaty stiff!

 

Nope! No more

 

Looks like alot of time and money invested. Props to you for doing it. But man rust sucks.
