Where did you get the window visors and how is their quality? The car looks good so far and I cant wait to see it with all 4 rims on it. Keep us posted and good luck.

oh alright, damn since money is a issue i always reside to selling my parts. i just gotta be patient Razz

. ill have it done, and ill just use the usdm front bumper since you wont really notice the pinstriping anyways. Would it be embarassing to put the kit on without my rims? i think ill put it on even if i got gay steelies.

function form type one full coilovers with adjustable shock travel. It was recommended by weksos, since they said adjustable damper isnt all that great when you can spend almost half the money and get the same result. Rides alot like stock and great over all product/looks/performance.

im going to the junkyard today to get some ebrake cables, my rear passenger side pad squeals. GRRR. i need to replace it.

Its my bday today! i hope i get a hookup. just sold some crx front mudflaps, getting rid of my rear mudflaps again since i need to get some money:P

resloved why my car was leaking oil, first of all the valve cover was slightly loose then the freakin oil filter was half way off. fixed it and now my car is running better. did a tuneup, cleaned alot of stuff up, but my engine bay is still dusty.

Happy bday.

haha thanks guys, i didnt do anything special for my bday. But i did go to the junkyard and i got some DA sedan ebrake cables, took around an hour to get in doing it the right way. The stupid rubber grommets that allow the cables into the cabin were on so tight i had to force that cable in with all my strength from underneath the car, shit. But after that i made it easy and went on top inside the car and pulled the cable through with a pliers. It was a simple easy job. now my ebrakes work, i set it up for like 4 clicks.

Now i need to buy some brake pads because the squealing is killing me, if you see my car now youll be like "that shit is gay" looks like a straight up beater. :/. long ways to go. next week im getting the bent enkei fixed. and week after that ill get some new tires to roll on.

traded the enkei mesh to clipsed for some new tires for my also new rims Razz

, yes im still getting the og san its just i gotta wait so ill refurbish these. just kind of thinking about not getting them anymore since i want to get another set of more original rims.

got them 2 weeks ago and im getting the rims done as we speak, just waiting for the wheel techniques to get my 2 rims done. just got one done last week Very Happy

so i did this:
i painted my valve stems green(looks similar to gsr green?)
bought a new repair kit(doesnt include the rubber inserts, and nuts), needed the valve inserts anyways, came with cool caps

began like this
original enkei valve stems

slight sanding and cleaning, used the valve tool to trace threads and clean everything

began painting(i cleaned off the threads before i added the remainding parts)

finished product(might add some more clear coat)

began polish
stage one:

stage two:

before:
yes i have all 4.
14x6jj 35 offset
enkei somethings, i was told enkei 90's but i cant find any info

paint stripping:

front and back:

and my one rim from wheel tech:

just got another one of these again, had sold my other one for some cash and it was a bitch to find another. this time oem rare din delete Razz

ME-B-N-ME · Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 12:57 am Post subject:

Man want them wheels lol, are they 15's?

Seeing you working on these wheels makes me wanna get bakc to working on my MR5's but.. not driving the car makes me lazy.. Sad

got 2 rims back from wheel tech, total of 3 refinished rims. one more to go. its the bottom right corner rim. has a small bend in the lip. otherwise no more curb rash!!!! so sick. also installed the wheel adapters i won on ebay Very Happy

. from adapt if usa got them for 75 bucks!!! theyre actually supposed to be mounted to the car first then the rims on top. but w/e just for pics anyways.....so tomorrow ill send the last rim to wheel techniques and i will have an almost new set of rims from back in the days. what like 20 years old? also the left side bottom rim needs to get sanded down, they all had a small scratch that killed the machined polish so i just wanted them smooth. ill get that last one sanded and ill begin polish.

adapters on the left, and 2 installed on right side rims

so front adapters will be 1 inch and rear are 1.5.

repainted the valve stems copper, didnt like the green

also got another optional center console with din delete and a blue optinal armrest that i want to paint Razz

still need carpet though. grrrr.
