Your car is exactly what I wanted to make mine look like. So all these awesome updates make me want to slap white gt4 bits on a red car lol. Anyway, the celi looks great, and I'm glad the coilovers worked out. Its a pain swapping suspensions, especially if you just did it!

QUOTE (dliverance @ Jun 10, 2012 - 10:11 PM)  Looking sweet. I'm kinda jealous. Thanks! Yours is coming together pretty quickly as well, you know. QUOTE (cheela @ Jun 10, 2012 - 10:12 PM) looks good but you need new wheels asap. hahhahha  We're working on that. We just bought new tires not too long ago and they've still got quite a bit of tread left. We're looking into different styles right now and when these tires are nearly worn out, we plan on picking up a new set. In the meantime, we're just enjoying the comfy ride quality from the tiny rims and balloon tires QUOTE (enderswift @ Jun 11, 2012 - 6:38 PM) Your car is exactly what I wanted to make mine look like.

Its a pain swapping suspensions, especially if you just did it! Thanks Luke! Kind words indeed. Your car will be one of 6gc's greats when you're finished. I really don't mind swapping suspensions. Only one bolt gave me problems, which much groaning and cussing was able to conquer. One of the sway bar nuts was stuck in place and my Allen wrench rounded it out, but I was able to improvise with vise grips. The only thing I'm having issues with is now I have a knocking from the right rear corner. I've been suspecting my sway bar bushings for a while, and now that I've had issues with the end link it's time to go ahead and order the RacingBeat end links and Energy Suspension bushings. That's next week's project. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Look at you guy; it's not your Celi, ironically, but she's got everything you've always talked about. Fully kitted, now coilovers, BEAMS.
 I feel like a set of 7gC wheels would be the thing for this.

Screw it...
Get a set of these:  Slam it as low as it'll go and just drive it. You should probably stock up on oil pans though. Screw it.... Just do like me and drive it until the wheels come off. -------------------- ~bloodMoney

I actually do like those. I'm sure they're about 4 times as much as I'd like to pay, but I'm good at overpaying for things on this car

Went on a small photoshoot yesterday, using my crappy Nikon point and shoot. Amazingly, this camera churns out phone-quality pictures. So, without further ado, here are a bunch of low-quality pictures of a two-tone car.
               Perhaps next time I post in this thread, I'll have a real update. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates. Even Socrates told us to use the search button!
