yeah left the thremostat out....for now. ill get one soon. dont worry. cant hurt anything.
nice wheels jdmjunky.
16x7 +38 or 35 right?
 
gotcha. weird, looks extra long in that pic. lol

Yeah, it does.....I sanded the bar down last night and sprayed it down with some rustoleum primer and two coats of red today on my lunch break.

i see a bolt missing on the sway bar mount lol

i pulled my thermostat and car runs cool now.
in a couple months ill get a new one lol

lol...yeah, I was test fitting it to see how exactly I could get the MSP end links to fit. The previous night, I had removed the bar so it was resting on the top bolts. I did shear one of the nuts within the cross member and now I can't find it so it should be fun re-attaching it.
 
man would have been hot in 8"!

so whats the plan?
spray bomb?
polished?
powder?
lmk man lol
yea 8" would have been tight but couldn't find them at the time can always space them out :) Secret (sssh) lol lets just say hasn't been done well not on a protege anyway.

Bah, rs with no lip makes me :(
I feel ya I love more lip also but my wallet couldn't handle those it could barely handle these lol.But it'll look hot with these in the long run.
 
found yet another exhaust leak. Guess the weld on the flange or the header didnt hold or maybe something else ripped open. half tempted to buy everything new and just deal with the debt haha

Saw your sig and didn't know if you saw the GB thread in the f/s section for AWR headers. Def. a great header with quality and performance to match...
 
lmao people hatin on the lip.I had the same lip on my old wheel's and this is the lip I have chosen to stay with on my new wheel's I like the style I like the lip so for now it stay's.

I'm starting to take them apart to polish the lip's and getting the inner's ready for paint.

its like $600!!!! I can get a whole exhaust for that much

$499 if they get 10 people. :) The OP of the thread recently posted pics of the AWR and OBX side by side.....yes $499 is steep (too steep for me at the moment) but....well here's a pic for comparison.

Just sent payment for Carbing front and rear strut tower bars, hopefully they actually come this time. Last time I ordered the front from a different company, I waited 3 months and it didn't come, so I got a refund.

Can't wait to get these jdm sexyness in.
