Better Pics and more updates.......
Thursday, April 17, 2008 9:04 PM
So. the past couple days ive had off, its been really beutiful, and i just cant stand to sit in the house and watch tv. so i made use of my time. i got rid of all the AC stuff from the car since im sick of dealing with all the damn leaks. I also undercoated my wheel wells, changed out my carpet, made a subframe brace, and changed my sway bar endlinks for some nicer ones along with a bunch of other MISC crap. i spent a lot of time cleaning up the car as next week im entered in a car show ( i never really entered myself but was entered by freinds) anyways. it was a beutiful day so i decided to take some pics on what has been happening.

The Car..........






My Window Switch...........And yes. all of my windows are auto


My Trunk Realease Button..........


My Seat Brackets.............



The Subframe Brace.. Yes i know it hangs a little low. but. im not lowered and i had a trans pan drain bolt that i had to clear. but. it made a world of difference...........


The Gauges.........


The bushings..........




Comments and Criticisms welcome. and yes.i know ill hear it from someone. but. its NOT getting lowered. i like it at the height its at.

My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.

I just did the sway bar links on my Sunfire GT last night.

I know you said

but it needs to if

that stock Z24 kit is all you are going to have on it.

You need a motor swap to honor those Badges too. lol

Otherwise, car looks pretty good!

Car looks very nice and clean! I love the body colored mirrors and handles. Are those the 02+ LS sides, and how did you mount them?



Re: Better Pics and more updates.......

Man that's my favourite sedan on the forums! I'd lower it, lose the Z24 emblems and vent visors, add 95-99 toyo tails, and it would be absolutely perfect!
Why not try the B+G Springs, I have them on my car, and it's driven all year round without problems. Most people can't even tell it's lowered.

The Z24 emblems are coming off here this week thanks to a fellow JBO member.hees sending me the crome gm badges off of his cobalt so i can stick thos on there. as for the sides. there sunfire coupe sides. i got them off of a convirtable in the junkyard.i wish i would have gone with stock z skirts tho. as for lowering it. its not that i dont want to. i just cant afford it. and i dont wanna do it the wrong way. so. im just gonna leave it. as for the motor swap. maybe someday i will but not this summer. maybe next. once again. i just cannot afford it. its good enough and is a fun daily driver for me. i just enjoy modding and thats all that really matters to me. t


thanks for all the great comments guys. keep em coming.

thanks for the comments guys. im trying to get my hands on an LS Sport front lip for my bumper (ive got a pik of a Z front with it and it looks like it fits no problems and looks amazing) so hopefully this summer i can get a hold of one. that and fender liners. ive gone 2 years without them and its begining to become anoying.

a question to anybody that may know. if i moved my sirius antenna to the inside of my spoiler will i still get reception. i would think so. im at a loss of where to move it. i hate the look of it. i was thinking a shark style antenna.

I've got a hemi badge if you want it....
Wait, that might go on the corolla.... Did I tell you I got a free bumper from work to try and make fit on it too. Off some Mitsubishi, lol.

Car's looking good.
If your drums aren't painted, I think you should paint um just black. The wheels turned out swesome.

looking good! as many have said it needs a drop but i'm sure you'll get to it.

did the wrx wheels bolt right up? i know they are 5x100 but i was under the impression that the hubs were smaller on the wrx (tried fitting a set of rotas that were on my wrx awhile back on the cavaalier and they would not go due to the hub sizes)



Re: Better Pics and more updates.......
Saturday, April 19, 2008 9:21 AM
Thanks seth. and no hemi badge for me. lol. and the drums will be black when i decide to stop being lazy and tear the rear wheels off. as for the wheels. the hubsize was smaller. but since there LUG CENTRIC i just used a rasp to make the bore size bigger. it worked out perfectly and i have NO balance issues.

Just save your money up for some D-specs and Sportlines, or Prokit,

Though I think the sportlines would look sexier, you do have a valid worry about being too low in Great falls.

I know the roads in town are terrible compared to here in missoula, and I say that with experience Im not fond of driving around your town in my slammed car), so you might want to go pro-kit.

hell you want to go superslammed like I was, you can have my old Sprints, they are well broke in but free= more money toward struts.
