Laz MP2000's Build Thread

[Laz MP2000]

thanks man and im waiting for the spoiler to come in then installing all the parts onto the car(skirts,lip,spoiler) but i just found out i got the wrong lip, i got the 99-00 lip but other then that tomorrow me and my buddy are swapping out the crappy grey seats for the p5 seating !

 

[Laz MP2000]

ok so im kind of stuck, my bolt on pattern in the back is different then the p5 back seats, how can i get this to work on my car now?...heres some pictures

 

[Laz MP2000]

anybody? really need help...

 

[AzteCypher]

If the top one is from the P5 it look like you'll have a hell of a time trying to get it to fit. If it's the bottom one there shouldn't be an issue. If you want black seating you should source one from a sedan instead.

 

[Laz MP2000]

i got it to fit ! ill post pictures tomorrow.

 

[Laz MP2000]

Alright i just bought a strut bar and rear lip all for $85, i should get the strut bar on tomorrow then when my spoiler comes in sometime next week i should have my car in the shop to but the whole body kit on.

 

[Laz MP2000]

ahhh, the stupid cruise control is in the way of the strut bar...

I just got a hammer an hit the edge to make it flat and it worked fine on mine i had a Vibrant strut bar and then i sold it and have a GT Spec one and it works fine so just do it ill take some pics tomorrow if you need me to...

 

[Laz MP2000]

hit the edge of what? im going to work on it when i get home from school in the afternoon, so ill take pictures of the strut and the new seats cant wait to get the strut installed, i heard it makes a hell of a difference when you take corners !

why are you going to cut the back and the door panels its there for a reason to make it more ridgid with out it you car will flex because the structure support it use to have will no longer bee there so id think twice about doing that...and dont mean to burst your bubble but im pretty sure there are some 2.0's out there that are N/A but built pistons, cams, port and polish, and a few extra goodies so dont cut out the structural support in your car thinking itll make it lighter and faster it really isnt going to make that big in the end performance wise but and youll end up loosing the stiffness and not handle corners and your doors wont do much if you ever get hit on the side just putting my 2 cents out there...you know i got your back on some things but this isnt one of them i think its a bad idea...

@ Laz Back on a topic got any new pics of the project car

 

[Laz MP2000]
