I've never really heard of that happening before, but I'm new to the overfender game so maybe? The rivets are painted/cleared over so I doubt it in my case.

This is super cool, I'm looking for an inch of rim tuck, though.
Maximum rim tuck will be achieved...I'm ordering a set of PBM coils just to obtain necessary lowness. Megan's wont cut it.

As for visiting BC...It needs to be done. Vlad practically lives in the mountains. Will make for a fun visit.

That ECV placement is fucking genius. I never even though of that.

And yes...it does haha #blastpipeproblems




Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Still more to come. Probably wont really post much till coils come...but once they do....fuck.

What did you decide to use for coilovers? I just changed mine from my old topline aragostas to Fortune 500s with 11/9k springs. So far, they've been tits and pretty forgiving considering how shitty the roads are out here in VA.

That's a great place to place that. I wouldn't have though about that at all.

Oh and blast pipes usually run the gasses through one side more then the other since they are a bit uneven...

dude my heart just fucking stopped.

this is happening! Even if it's on the road for a day before the police set it on fire....this is happening.

And 35 sidewall is a must. My tire shop already has 235/35/18 falken 912 (like the only tire in that friggin size) stocked up for me

Fender is flush mounted. I feel like chargespeeds would be hard to bow out because they hug every grove on the rear quarter.

I was having trouble capturing how wide it is in pics but this is the best I could do for now:







And just for shits we threw my LXZ's on a buddy's mint hatch after he finished installing his extended FLCA's... Looks soooo good!

Soooooo not too much to update with right now. Ive been busy with work blah blah.

I miss driving this thing so goddamn much I've been pushing to sort out all the issues and get it back together!

First up is a nasty interior leak that's been bugging me for a while, and living in the rainiest friggin place on earth, I figured it was time to sort it out.

Interior out, now time to see where it's coming in from. I tossed the moldy carpet and will replace with a new black one, which should help finish off the interior nicely.



I also got my new front tires in. 235/35/18 vs the old 235/40/18 monster truck tires.

It's actually alot more extreme than I thought it would be. The tire isnt really seated on the rim, but hold up fine. Should help me achieve desired lowness and clearance.





Also here's a bonus pic of my buddy's Type-x project the day we got our tires mounted.


Aside from that I'm prepping for an emissions test due in a few weeks (fingers goddamn crossed) and I think I finally decided on coils. Fortune Auto 510's with swift 12/10k springs all around

As always, thanks for checkin this out!

^ check your harness plug inside the wheel well. I tore up mine pretty bad and had water leak from there everytime i drive my car in the rain. After 30min drive in hard rain i had a puddle of water inside my car. Took me a while to find it.

^^^Yeah after some testing i think this is whats happening...my tire was too tall and kept knocking it out of place. Im gunna just silicone the shit out of the whole thing and hopefully it will stop!

In other news...my coils are being built right now. I decided in the end to go with Fortune 500's with 12k/10k SWIFT springs and roller bearings. I was originally going to go with the 510's but couldnt really justify the 4-500 dollar price difference for a street setup. I'd rather put the money towards a diff or an electronic boost controller.

In the meantime I still had to sort out my turn signals (yet to be done) and get my front and rear windshield trim in, as well as pass my goddamn "Aircare" emissions test so that I can renew my insurance for another year.

I rolled to a buddy's shop to mount up a good cat and tune my shit for max environmental friendliness...


It took endless hours of fuckery and failing and headaches but I FINALLY passed like 2 mins before the place closed for the day.

First run in my car fucking backfired haha...scared the shit out of everyone.


The dudes were pretty chill tho and stoked on my car so they let me fuel tune right in the place, which I assume is illegal on a number of levels haha.

BOOM! One more year not having to worry about this crap!


That was yesterday, today I'm just dicking around with this windshield trim... exciting stuff. (i know i know, the stickers are all going too)


Hopefully more exciting updates to come.

Thanks bros!
