Title: Finally! New shoes!
Post by: dude8383 on April 08, 2007, 05:25:15 PM
So, I finally got my new shoes!

I just got the car back from the shop as well. I had a ton of stuff done.

Subframe bushings, IE Trailing Arm bushings, SS lines, Brake system was flushed, Tranny oil and diff oil changed (Redline), Oil changed, new Lower Oil pan Gasket, Right rear Wheel Bearing, and finally new parking brake cables.

I think I will be sticking with the car for some time, so look out for some more visual improvements!

Without further ado..

update your sig ;)
Good to see some real fog lights in those holes finally!

Nice modifications, good wheel size, good tire choice. What size did you end up with for the S03s? I think that a 16" tire is the best for an m42...definitely worthy on all counts :D

The S-03's are 205/50 16, I bought em on tirerack because they were having a closeout sale on em! $90 per, I couldn't let the deal slip!!

Thanks dude!

Kick A$$!   Car looks very sweet.  The rims are amazing!  Keeping the car for awhile?  Sounds like a great idea.  Me too!  Maybe a GB on the SC from Downing Atlanta.

Thank you! Yes, I intend to keep the car for much longer than originally intended!

I'd love to go s/c but I don't have the money for that at the moment.

These are ACT rims, ACT is Ronal now...they no longer make a 16inch design like these.

Very nice and glad you're keeping your car. :) The S03's will elevate you to a different driving level if you've never driven on those before. ;)

Haha, 15's look great on these cars, but a 16 inch rim just balances everything out so well!

I jumped on these immediately after seeing them go up forsale.

Thanks
