Both you and Carlos need to do something with the Boxsters. Too understated as I can see it. Soon, the Boxsters will be out of place on run & meet. The others are all mod. up looking cool & hot.


once i get a better job then I'll definitely mod the hell out of it.
but now the payment alone and the tuition fee...is killing me...
thats the reason i lost my gf cuz i dont buy her anything :D
and shes tired of paying for me :LOL:

i got the indash in my car... next stop!! rims

Thanks Steve...we're pretty much finished for now other than lowering it and corner balancing the car.

Don't worry. You'll get there.

Hey CL,

Along with the lowering and balancing you might consider respraying the brake calipers...then you're realy done.

You're right. I was actually talking about major changes. I'll definately get those done along with the headlight replacements and a couple other little things. cup holder, stereo head, replace the visors, etc. Your never really done.

I'm dancing as fast as I can for five months.

I'm thinking about replacing those calipers with spares while Eli bakes the ones that are on the car. This will prevent me from being completely down and inop while he does them. I haven't decided which way I'm going to go with those.

You're right, I'm just finished with the big ticket items.

Thanks Dre... Everything clears too. When he corner balanced the car he did it based on my weight in the car. This thing flys around corners. I never knew it would make that big of a difference. Being balanced with the PHAT tires made a huge difference. He put new bilsteins on it new Sway bar brackets. The car is completely stable. Being balanced like it is makes it drive like a completely different car. He drove the car and put it back on the rack and scales about 10 times to get everything perfect. We also rolled the fenders in the front a little. The back was good. I'm glad I did it.

We started at 8:00 A.M. and finished at 4:30P.M.

It was well worth it.
