scmp3's build thread:start to...it will never be finished

[SCMP3]

Thanks Mario. You need to bring your ass to sc so we can chill again.

So found out why my passanger side fog was out. This is what was left in my fog light

So we fixed that and the pass side shroud in the headlight. Gotta pull the head light and reseal it as its getting moisture in it. But here we are running all 4 hids. 4300 up top through morimoto projectors and 3k down in the fogs with h3c hids

Lowered the front of the car last night. Approximately 1 1/4 inch. Need to lower the rear 1/4-1/2 inch to get fairly even. Here's before and after pics

Before

After

And how the front coilovers are set now

you need to step your game up bro =) remove one of the locking collars on the endlink tab and max it out. Thats what i did on mine to really tuck in the front. looks good none the less =D

 

[funkalicious21]

^^I was going to say the same thing brotha. I do love the car though!

 

[SCMP3]

Ok so how will the front struts not rub on the cv boot? I have minimal clearance there even now. And did you take a collar out and crank them all the way down?

 

[funkalicious21]

Take out the collar in the middle and just lower the spring down a bit, it won't do any harm to the shock travel.

 

[SCMP3]

But wouldnt it still hit the cv axle boot? I'm not talking cause of travel. I'm just talking about the tube sticking out the bottom of the part that attaches to the spindle

 

[HKPRO5]

Did you get that evo boost gauge yet?

 

[SCMP3]

No sadly something else came up :l lawyers and such. Damn speeding tickets

 

[SCMP3]

[SCMP3]

looking really good man

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Bump

 

[hornsfan10609]

I dig your brothers car, (well, SHOs are cool too) I have always like the SVT Contour for some reason, but I think the MSP is a much better (looking, handling) car. I'm sure you know which is faster out of the two.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I'm sure you know which is faster out of the two.

His brother would debate that

 

[hornsfan10609]

I guess I am assuming the SVTC is stock, I know the MSP is modded.
But if I had to guess, the MSP gives up .5L to the SVT but even with the MSP at 7.5psi it should be faster. Bump it to 8-10 psi and there is no chance unless the Contour was swapped or had FI.

 

[SCMP3]

No the contour is stock. And I'm much faster than it (and the sho) My brothers just very argumenative

 

[hornsfan10609]

So I assumed correctly, lol

 

[JDM_Pro5]

My brothers just very argumenative
