well i was looking through my photobucket today.. and i started looking at pictures of when i first got my car.. i cant believe what it looked like between then and now. seriously blows my mind at how far it came and how satisfied and happy i am with everything i put into it.

the time, money, sweat, and labor definately paid off. and im still not done.. but i figured id share with you all.

Original way the car looked upon purchase april 2010:







Up until this week october 7:






As of today.. october 8:
(mind you i still dont have my 4motion lip, euro rub, and bumper on since im still working on the motor project However.. this gives you an idea on my new stance, new wheels, etc im sure you can imagine the rest until im ready for the last photoshoot of the year.. i also need to restance the coils in the front a touch.. but again.. its also been in the air on stands for a few weeks so im going to let them settle and see where that sets me before i adjust. ;-))





:cool::K:;-)

have some updates.

rs are officially back together and on the car. ill post pics later if i have a moment. i have to build a set of rs today, and possibly a set of style 5s after work.

car is currently lifeless in my driveway. has no power to anything at all. completely electrically dead. pretty confident i have it narrowed down to the ignition switch. scored a new one at the dealership today, gonna tear that down. waiting for my nardi hub adapter to arrive before finishing putting it all back together. ugly 4 spoke finally dies with this repair.

POSTED UP @ KnoeDown.


Mini photo shoot @ Centralia after knoedown. For those of you not familiar with centralia pa. take the time. look it up. it no longer is a town. no longer has a zip code. and is entirely on fire under ground.

HAHAHAHAHAH thanks man!

I want to dip my balls in it!
ooooh you fancy huh?

Wheels look awesome. Ive been wa.ti g to go to centralia for years. There is some good 4wheeling out there. Guess you couldnt get on the highway that ran througb there for some smokey shots.
we walked down the abandoned highway. it use to be route 61, we call it old 61 now. theres a dirt mound / coal little coal pile you have to walk over to get on it.. i probably could of got over it.. but there was pretty deep puddle at the bottom (experience of riding quads up there that those puddles usually are extremely deep). the pics of the sunset i was on what was the mayors house. the smoke really hasnt been a thing lately. supposedly the vent caps are closed up.. they also tore alot of the black top up and dumped it in piles over the vents.. there trying to choke the oxygen off now... which sucks. i was hoping for a smoking vent shot in the back round. but wasnt there. might try it again when its colder.. so maybe we can get some steam.

I don't wish to alarm you, but I think something on your rear suspension is broken..

Nah you guys are foolin'. All that's for function :roll:
whats function?

To promote full surface traction when cornering on bags with 4000 dollar wheels with a lot of stretch.
YES. race car. its for when i run daytona this year.. those corners have quite alot of lean.
