Why yes, yes I do! It's funny that you know such a detail about these lights ;)

Tell me about it. I'm really not liking this gap at all. The pics are bad, it was kinda dark outside when I took them, I messed with exposures and shadow touch-ups in iPhoto to get them as light as they are. A better camera would've made them look better.

That would be awesome. Though someone has done this with one of my first pics of it painted, my bumper scrapes the ground. I think my bumper is actually taller than the oem vr4 bumper; so I think it'll look like it scrapes either way. I'll look for some pics to post.

I'll consider them in a few weeks if they're still there, I'm saving hard for this house. I settle in April, I need $5k, so all purchases have to be thought about long and hard before I do anything rash.

Bloody Arro

To be honest, didn't have her long after I dropped her.

Here's the current one (sorry, crappy cell pic. Can't upload from my camera.):
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z87/Bloody_Arro/Katsuko01_zps6397972d.jpg

Got her back in November, since then I've put in 4cyl Eibach Sportline springs (with stock shocks/struts for now), radio & bass, 8000k HID headlights, 3000k HID fog lights, LED license plate light, and a Magnaflow muffler.

OMEGA PHX
01-12-2013, 10:54 PM
I know your using 4cyl. springs on a v6 but your drops look like c/o's drops, are you sure your struts/shocks aren't blown or do you have a taller than factory tire?
If not then that looks pretty good for lowering springs ;)

Bloody Arro
01-13-2013, 12:50 AM
The shocks are actually good. The springs are rated for a 2/2 drop for a 4cyl eclipse. IIRC, I read somewhere that our cars are a decent bit heavier than the eclipse so it drops it a bit more, also the bigger v6 drops the front a bit more too.

And thanks for the compliment :D. Next big thing I'm shooting for is either the outlander brake swap or wheels.

Looking so much better! May I suggest black plasti-dip the fins on your upper grill? Or go hard and cut em out and throw mesh in there! LOL! Doesn't cost much of anything to do either.

I actually like the color matched grilles lol. Maybe I'm just weird.

I would throw on the JDM parts, the tut makes it look easy and has step by step instructions. The edges are rounded off and will leave a slight gap, but I would think you would only notice it if you're looking for it really.

Youre gonna be like me, and have a million miles on that car before you let it go, and by that time our cars wont be worth anything and we keep it forever!

On another note, i lowered the TL this morning. Painting Grill in a week, and hopefully wheels at the end of the month. Going full speed on the modifications which I didnt want to do with this car lol.

not much besides got new michelin pss and project mu pads for track season, planning on running willow springs and chuckawalla in march or april when its warmer. i want to track more now that i have the fear of having a new car on the track out of my system. im hoping to shave another few seconds off lap times and get into sub 1minute 30 at willow. friggin s2k's rule the turns there, i never see their brake lights. for dragging, im probably going to run a 18 rpf1 on slicks and try to go sub 8 in the 1/8th. since not much mods are out, its basically bolt ons and nitrous until novel, icode or some ecu shop in texas figures how to crack the ecu and tune our cars. its highly doubtful since even the supra's ecu cant be cracked till this day.

oh and i got another surprise...couple of friends and i picked up a friends 93 240 shell and a 94 sc300 shell were gonna track that all the homies can have fun in. plans so far is just do sr20, coilovers, lsd, front bumper and run it. sc will be 2uz with turbo. been reading up on it and itll hold up to 600 on stock internals. probably put a shine kit since oem parts are gonna cost twice as much and drag it. trippy, we got the shells from a trade, our boy had a totaled acura cl-s and we traded with our friend from TB Motorworx. Guess he has plans with the j block. he's our local honda guru. gotta check his car out, crazy all motor b series block. http://youtu.be/ytpjxUHxS6M

^prepare to spend a lot of time massaging fenders and adjusting camber specs if you really want to do it. if I could do it all over again, I'd get a set of bilstens for an evo 8/9, mod them to fit (which after taking some measurements would be quite simple) revalve them for the rates and run a set of swift lowering springs with adjustable camber plates and arms. granted I wouldn't have ride height adjustment but I'd have a terrific suspension setup for relatively cheap, better than 90% of the coilover setups for the 3g/8g chassis.

and rear
http://cdn3.autopartsnetwork.com/images/catalog/brand/monroe/640/71313.jpg

notice any similarities ??? same basic setup, the shock mounts are a little different but the galant shock mounts will fit the evo shocks, then it's just pick your lowering spring adjust the bottom holes for clearance on the knuckle. Anyway, this should probably be in a different thread.
in the rear you just cut your old bottom mounts off the shock, have them welded onto the bilsteins, done. so if you can't weld maybe 30-50 bucks to have those welded. it's 50 bucks to revalve a bilstein, so another 200 on top of that you're looking at around 800-1000 grand for a set of bilsteins properly valved for lowering springs that will last a long time and be superior to most coilovers available for this platform

sure they will, you just need to cut/weld the bottoms. easy fix.

Bloody Arro

What would make them better than coilovers for the 8g? Other than lasting longer as you said.

greddy
01-29-2013, 12:51 AM
much much better valving, ability to use a plethora of different springs that are available for evos and have the shocks/struts valved for those springs. You have no idea what proper valving does for handling. shit, the off the shelf valving for the billys will be better than most any coilover for our platform imho.

01-29-2013, 01:51 AM
You might even be able to get a bolt long enough to go through both holes on the evo shock and use a sleeve around the bolt between the brackets to keep it from binding, hell just cut the bottom off the 8G shock and toss it in between the evo brackets. Shit For Bilsteins I'd be down to try.

Might sound stupid and un-safe, but who says our rear design isn't.

I would not weld or know anyone who is willing to weld a shock housing full of pressure!! It's very unsafe.

Its done all the time with coils. Plus since the bilsteins can be taken apart you can relieve the pressure if you want.

Only coils I'd buy again would be amr and kw coils. AMR uses bilsteins internals and hyperco springs and for 1700 is tough to beat. I would only upgrade to mcs coils but other than that i wouldnt use anything else. The amrs are that good. Made in the usa with a lifetime warranty and custom built to your specs. Nuff said.

Yeah, I see what you mean. And come to think of it, I don't believe there are any others at the moment as far as Galants go. Dion's ended up having problems and BJ's had issues too. Even then, it still was a 6g74 at heart that was bored and stroked to 3.9L by using some 6g75 parts. Those were the only 2 that ever were completed besides mine.

3G's however are a different story. There have been a good handful of them since, but most have minor bugs to be worked out yet. The only one I would say is running and performing properly over there is Matttt.

I thought the point of a community was to share ideas and inspire others. But hey, what do I know?

That's what I thought too but hey some people don't like sharing I guess.

And just to throw it out there I hate that lancer lip. I personally think its hideous. I like the Honda lip much better.

@ kolio. As soon as something arrives from the great state of Colorado :) I can start working on it, as for the wing, I'm still hunting for one of a proper size to turn up, ideally I don't want something brand new because a lot of them are overpriced, seriously considering using a Car of Tomorrow Nascar wing, been a hot topic of discussion on the miata forums and I think it'd look killer. Just need to figure out a way to mount it on the gap between the trunk and the quarterpanels so I can easily remove it. I don't really wanna swap trunks all the time and obviously when I DD the car I'm shooting for max MPGs so the drag has to go.

^Looks pretty damn good for Maaco!

I had to move my car out of storage this past weekend and drive it on salt :( But it was cool to take pictures of it during the winter for the first time in a few years!

James that's one hell of a transformation! Looks good.

Rob I'm always amazed at how clean your car looks, no matter the circumstances. I look forward to seeing that sexy beast sometime soon when it warms up.

Greg congrats on the house! The G is looking clean. Now drop it like its hot.
