Going through some photos and realized I haven't uploaded any of the wheels and tires.

Looks hot Jason! Also looks pricey, becoming an expensive build! I'm meeting with my mechanic on Monday to discuss the build on mine. Getting excited!

What are your camber specs on the front? Seems like you had to go a little more negative than stock, eh? :)

It's been noting but money going out last year. :ugh2:

Are you going to start a build thread Rob?

-1.52 and -1.59

Did you have to get arms, because you look slightly lowered too.

Ps. Perfect amount of aggressiveness on your wheel spec. :)

PSS. (Onzedge??) I see you're on swifts. Just curious what correction you've had to do after lowering?

Sigh
:yum: wide fat tires :yum:
On a Z such as this.
Sigh






That is all.

No arms. I think it's the wide angle of the lens and the perspective of the shot that makes the camber look like that. The suspension is stock other than the Switfs and Whiteline sway bars. No arms, no toe bolts. Just Swifts and an alignment. I did ask for the alignment to be more on the sporty side than closer to the factory settings.

I was a little worried about the offsets because I do not like the "poke" trend at all. These however work for me. Eric at GetYourWheels.com knows his stuff!

Yes, tires are PSS. :tup:

Wait a minute!!!! Are those....

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn man! I swear...to....God PSS is your bat signal! :eek: :tup:

:icon17:

I was gonna say I am at -2.** in the front and yours look way more negative than mine :tup: It must be the photo.

I'll dig up a couple of photos that show the fittment later today then you guys will be able to see the camber better.

Nice pics! :yum:

Thanks Mike :tiphat:

Here are more shots to show camber/fitment that some were wondering about,

Looking good Jason! :tup:

You have a pic of where you put your EVC-S?

Not yet. Right now its sitting in the cubby above the radio. I'm planning to make a false floor and face for it so I can still use the rest of the cubby for storage.

Should I build two? :tup:

Hahaha -- unfortunately no I have the stock Nav so I can't use your genius creations for this purpose!

Looking forward to seeing this thing fully put together! you should keep updated the first page to help w/ your timeline. Offsets of the T1S's?

Offsets are +20 front and +18 rear.

What do you mean about updating the first page? Update with pictures?

:icon18:

I don't know where a good place would be to mount the display in your case. What are you planning? I was thinking about modifying the rearview mirror to house the EVC-s (think between the top of the mirror and the headliner).

Was thinking of that too - I already have my radar detector mounted to the underside of it. Also thinking of maybe blocking off the stock water temp meter if it would fit there since I can have that displayed on my PLX multi-guage. Other consideration was to fab it into the sun visor - but not sure if I will want to be able to see it all the time.

I just looked at my blendmount for my radar detector and I'm 90% sure you could flip it over and have a super clean mount for the EVC-s.

I like the sun visor idea. I put it in the cubby as a temp thing. Right now I'm assuming its going to be a set it and forget it thing for me so I won't need to keep an eye on it.

I fired it up today. Checked for leaks and topped up the oil. Confirmed that the gauges (other than the oil temp) are functioning properly. I found one leak on the output from the oil filter relocation fitting. A quick check with a wrench felt like it was as tight as it could be. I'll have to remove the fitting and re-do the Teflon then re-install. No biggie.

Yes, I do have video. It's not much to look at more for the noise. I'll have a look at it tonight and try to edit something to post up for you savages. :tup:

On another note. I'm thinking about doing a single 3" exhaust with it exiting the centre of the rear bumper (where the fog light is). I found a weld shop around here. I'm going to draw something up and ask if they can make a custom tip for me. Then when I get the exhaust guy to make the pipes for Sasha, I'll ask about fabricating the 3" exhaust.

A square tip that fills the entire hole would be dope. What would you do about the notches for the factory exhaust?

I'm looking at rebuilding that entire area. Maybe add some diffusers for looks.

ive always thought that a center style exhaust would look insane, as long as the empty spaces are filled in properly. It will have a Lp-640ish look with a center sqare exhaust.

Congrats!

I would recommend going with 3.5" if you're going for a single exit. Looking forward to the outcome

Yeah, you're right, thanks.

I am just worried about the clearance. I might have to pass on this option then.

Beautiful, its good to see it all come together. The stance is amazing.. :happydance:

:tiphat: Slowly :tup:


So far today, I started it up again. Leak is fixed. Oil is topped up (it takes a crap ton of oil now). And it's too cold to get the oil temp gauge to move off of 50˚c. I do know that the gauge is seeing the sending unit, so that's a good sign.

Here's the first start up video. Nothing too exciting...

Nice, I really do like those gauges you went with!

Was the install easy enough (room under the car, etc..) just using the race ramps?

Congrats man.. Looks nice, real clean install.. Good job..:happydance:

Thanks. I like them too. I still need to set up the warning points.

I ended up putting the car on jack stands figuring I could gain a little more space that might needed. I can't think of a time where I thought I needed a lift to do this job.

Thanks bud :tup:

Awesome!

Damn that looks and sounds like a beast! Very interested to see some numbers. :)

In the meantime, while you were building a beast I saw this config and when asked why vlan 176 didn't work..I laughed! ;)
