, you car is black right? that match with the CF hood... Ya i'll have the money..... if i had to make a decision today i'd get the buddy club 2 sides and rear, the carbon fibre hood, the grill, and a zex kit.
That would run me about $3000...i'll have 2000 FOR SURE....if i can save an extra 100 bucks a month till July i'll be sitting pretty. Who knows...maybe i'll be the fastest london based 7thgen on this board
just playing

well.. about 17 hours ago we started to install skunk2 coilovers in my car (we = Big, R1, and myself)... now, its finally finished!!!!
i wish i had some pics to show, but the car is still settling anyway.. i think im going to have to bring up the rear just a bit since the tires are beginning to tuck as everything settles
we were finished around 3, but we forgot to put in the bearing rings!! (no bearing rings = metal to metal popping noise when turning)
with the help of another friend that isnt on the board, i removed the front two struts and put in the bearing rings in.. now there are no sounds at all!!!
all in all, im really happy with it, and i have to thank R1 and Big again for all their help
hopefully i'll get some pics up once its adjusted to the perfect height

I'm glad your happy Falcon. It looked amazing yesterday when i saw it. Wish i could have helped though. Too busy running around to see if that blue would match. I've decided not to go with that blue. At least for now. It's off by a bit. You can notice the difference. Mike will hopefully have 3 more blue samples for me to choose from. If i can't find a blue to match, i think i'm just gonna do it all in black. That way it will match for sure. I have no car again right now because i'm finally getting my seats put in. Should be done later on today.

that's cool Falcon! I will take more pics next friday at sparta...
so everyone here lowered their cars?
APRboy, congrat on ur seats, sure it will be great! Let me know what's your first feeling after your seats installed! More racing feel I guess
I guess Big sold everything because he wants some $$$ for NOS or Turbo...just my guess...

Next on my list of mods is headlights. I just sold my Angel Eyes and now I'm getting the TYC projectors real soon. I think I'm done for this season though... Next season comes....
1) New Rims/Tires
2) Kaminari Sides/Buddy Club rear
3) Catback Exhaust
etc etc.....
Falcon: No problem bro... glad I could help.
Bruno: So the test sample you had didn't match huh? Well it's better that you decided not to rush into it and end up hating it if you really didn't like the colour. Anyways, I want to see your new seats!

They should be done in a few hours. He's really busy working on a mint 427 cobra. He said he'd call me when he's done. As for the sample, yeah it was off. The colour is nice, but it doesn't match. If i can't find a blue leather to match, then i'll just do everything else in black. That way i'll know it will match and i'll be happy with black. I just wanted to add a little more colour to my interior.

It'll probably raise the intake an inch but a lot of people are running these spacers with their intakes.

BTW.. Braden you know how I called you and asked how to get that sticky grey stuff off my car? Well, I was rolling my finger on the stuff and it was working and everything but I got myself a damn blister!
I got my bro out there to help me with it and we just picked it and tried pulling it off as strips.. It only really came off in small pieces though!
