My Build Thread

Sucks! You'll have to split it up again and reseal correctly. Maybe this link might help?

Thanks, thats one of the links I used to do it this time. I think I am going to replace the bolts just to be safe. Using old bolts is a hotly debated topic in 3 pc wheels builds lol. When i redo the sealing itself im just going to go slow and steady and be patient, really taking my time and maybe do 3 coats instead of 2.

To satisy those complaining im not mounting them... I tried. These are from my boys shop and then after getting home from his shop. The fronts flattened before I left but the rears looked ok and I drove on them and they still didnt lose any air but then all of a sudden an hour after getting home they started losing all air too so back to stockies. I did get all the tires dismounted and have already broken down two of the wheels again.

Shotty photos but shows some progress

[febriandp]

really loving your wheel man. i really hope someday i could afford one of those.

Finally got this bad boy installed yesterday

I wanted to also lower the front coils and install my front strut bar but messing with the gaskets on the manifold took like 2 hours so i didnt have time

[MyzticZ3r0]

absolutely beautiful! how long did installation take?

[1.5]

Thanks!

It spanned a total of 5 hours but I did take like an hour intermission and like 10-15 minute breaks when i hit obstacles. A total working time of probably ~2-3 hours

Used it to lower the front coils a little more and install my strut bar as well. This is now what my engine bay looks like.

love that jack.. my best friend.

Looks great. The one thing I hate about our cars is that damn battery. Damn thing is bigger than the valve cover. When its time to replace mine or gets to that point where its at its 5 year mark (which ever comes first). I am either going to relocate elsewhere or get something smaller. Either a braile or whatever is the new thing at the time.
