Re: beaterX project thread
It's ok to take a picture of a dirty car. I don't think anyone will mind.

Re: beaterX project thread
The car is now amazingly comfortable to cruise in but is still nimble. Get that thing to put down 300-400whp at DB and it would be perfect.

This car will never see black/gunmetal rims, my eyes would be stabbed out and my heart would break...

Re: beaterX project thread
Scheides, The silved P45's look just right. Black car and dark wheels dont mix well, looks like steelies everytime.  |

Re: beaterX project thread
I think you should sell those p45f's and move on to some p45r's. 18x9.5" ftw!

Remember these rims are basically free at this point, I yanked them off of my crashed evo8 before it was hauled away. The tires had literally like 400 miles on them. I'll consider upgrading sometime after I get the body work done, undertray back on, and the whp issue addressed

Re: beaterX project thread
Thanks guys! Got an alignment today @TheAlignmentGuy.com and the car feels freaking AWESOME! Jeff does all the top cars around here, fantastic guy! Ended up with zero toe and about -2° camber in the front and -1.5° in the back.
Jeff has been known to have a bit of a temper, but he is an awesome guy! I brought him starbucks

Why on earth would I setup a tuning date when my setup isn't together yet It'll be a self-modified version of my stock turbo tune for now, gonna keep things nice and simple.
