Damn guys I used to average 24 when it was stock. 27 with the v6 tb swap and tune. Even now with the crap gas for winter before the intake I still hit 24.4


30 lbs just in sound deadening.........

[Blue8g]

I never got better than 23 mpg in my 8g, and I've got a really light foot.

[spdracr]

I get around 24 in my daily and that's mostly city and barely any highway.

[4g63lover]

I used to average 28 mpg when it was NA. I always ran 93 in it.

[Ivory8g]

not to mention im still running the lowest grade octane this whole time.

This popped up this morning :)

Rear vr4 bumper

[Ivory8g]

Haha its the same color as her original color......like some sort of weird galant destiny!


Sanded.

[Ivory8g]

Wiped down with mineral spirits and a tack cloth!


The Tumbler sitting and waiting :)

[spdracr]

U need fog lights for that bumper. *hint hint*

[Ivory8g]

Spdracr you have some for sale?


Painted








Time for some jdm heads and grille.

[spdracr]

Yes I do. I took the one lens apart to clean condensation and never glued it back together. But they work flawlessly!

[Ivory8g]

I'll keep that in mind. I need headlights and a grille though

[Ivory8g]

Some better shots of the texture...





Went through and tightened up all the gaps that can be tightened up. The rest are from no jdm grille and headlights.



The new style jdm front end makes me think of a samurai with the scary shogun face masks. LOVE it!



Shes totally gutted :)


Really easy to see how much weight was removed due to the suspension being so much higher than it was before. +1" wheel gap front and back! O_o
Coilovers are shipping tomorrow!


Resprayed the roof to get the sunroof trim. Cant even tell I have one now hehe :)

What have you done for weight reduction besides the sound deadening and no back seat?

[finald8ta]

I literally pulled everything out except the upper dash and pulled off all the pointless brackets and metal and put it all back together with just the "interior" plastic shell. If I put carpet back in nobody would be any the wiser until you looked for a back seat.

Thanks sir! Yeah frame damage is a game killer for sure!

[Blue8g]

With cool wheels and real paint this thing could be so cool :(

Noooo. It would be like every other vr4 clone in the states. I already get so much respect for being different locally. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's mine :)

[wetamup2k3g]

I fucks with the textured black paint, but I hop off the wagon with the blacked out sunroof.

Sunroof > Performance.







J/K keep the progress coming bro!
