So I have begun the process of building up my car now that it is paid off and in preparation for a few shows this year. I've had quite a few parts installed over the past few months so I figured it was time to start one of these as more and more parts go on the car. Let me start by going over my progression that has lead up to this point.


When I first got her.... 4x4 status to the max :biggrin:



First two mods. Koni Cup Kit with Vogtland 50mm drop springs and Clear Side Markers.



Skip forward to now... (well a couple of weeks ago) SNOW!!!



Install Day



What could it be....



Some Euro flavor for the interior



Couldn't have finished the installs without this



Doing your own work really pays off!



The fruits of all my labor:







New Stuff :)



Out with the old (FK Springs + Koni Yellows)


In with the new (FK Konigsports)


White Line Anti Lift Kit + Bushings


The victims (I didn't take pics, but the rear bushings were replaced with Whiteline bushings as well)




Dropped!



Noise Pipe Delete + Eurojet TB Pipe



Small Update 2/26

Here's a few little things I hadn't posted up yet

This is how I felt about it :)



The Dension Gateway 100 wired to the center console



Shots of it in action





And of course the infamous dash tray





As of Sunday


Update 3/4: New Wheels + Tires





Update 3/6: New Parts are here!

GHL .:R32 Catback and 42DD Steal Catch Can Kit


Update 3/10: GHL Exhaust Installed

Adios


And my temporary fix as I wait for my .:R32 rear to arrive, be shaved, and painted.


Update 3/14

A few small things have been added since earlier in the week.

First off my 42DD Stealth Catch Can, with custom mounting bracket since I don't have stock motor mounts.



Close up of the bracket. I might paint this black, not sure yet.



Some more boxes... (Cargo Tray + Elemental Designs Edead v1 (100sqft) and v3 (2 gallons)



Got the spare tire well done in Edead v1



And some new closeout accessories for the hatch, cargo tray and net. Thanks DBC!

except suspension:biggrin:

Yeah yeah, all this coming from the kid that didn't install a RSB correctly. Josh does amazing work A and B he did a bunch of little things to make sure everything stays the way it should that I would not have known to do. Working outside your confidence level isn't smart.

it was installed correctly, if you look it up it is a big issue that the bolts back out.
