Damnit I just remembered who you are haha your sig threw me off. Then I saw you post on zilvia and remembered it was the same car haha. I love your car no homo x2, reminds me of when I had rewinds!

Nope, lots of lowballers thinking that they are $100 wheels for some reason.
David48
Haha I sold the rewinds then got all depressed because my car looked so bad so I just raised it up.
SylasG
Well I bet my wheels would look awesome on your car *wink wink* .

So while I was out driving last night, my car started sputtering and leaning out real bad. Then got to a point where it wouldn't rev over 3 thousand before just shutting off completely. A in a matter of about 3 minutes I would say. Just before it died I looked at my safc and it was showing 7 volts... No good. Turns out my alternator belt decided to shed some weight! I popped the hood and there was only 2 ribs left of the belt and it was slipping and sparking like hell. This was a Goodyear Gatorback belt that is barely a year old. I'm pissed that it failed so suddenly.

Here's a video I recorded during this. Note, the rough idle is normal with my 266 dur .464 lift cams.

Now since my bumper touches the ground, and I have a front mount intercooler, there was no easy way for me to tow my car home. I just pushed it into a parking lot and left it overnight. I'll go buy another belt and attempt to fix it today...

Love this car and its slamberedness. Every time I see your car it baffles me how you can drive it with destroying that lip. I drove around super low (front x-member 1/8" off the ground) and my pig lip destroyed itself in pieces in no time. Now I'm at a pansy height with my lip 3/4" off the ground and I still crunch, bang and scrape everywhere. I couldn't even imagine having to worry about and intercooler.

Do you have your motor raised at all?

Welcome dawgg, I've seen your car on zilvia, prob one of my favorite coupes

My motor is sort of raised, it's really tilted backwards with solid aluminum motor mount blocks, and a steel plate for the trans mount. My Greddy oil pan sits higher than my swaybar and subframe. I've probably shaved my front subframe down a couple of millimeters so far haha. My front sway bar is flat on the bottom.

I must have gotten the holy grail of piggy lips haha, mine literally rides on the street 100% of the time and is still in one piece, it's almost shaved through the bottom though.

Idk what i'm going to go with lol, i'm still using an ebay radiator that I got 2 years ago just to drive it. It's cooling capabilities are severely lacking... sad.gif

I think i'm going to drop the e-fans and go with an oem shroud and clutch fan setup and see how it works out.

Diamond Racing's look really good. I'm not usually a fan.
jesse
because they're a nice colour
Elegant Company
If I shipped you a really clean passenger side fender thats the same color as your car would you rock it?

I like your car, but not the fender. haha.
EhrikETFG
he would, hes always talking about how he cant find champagne fenders lol
BJManies
They have the same Champagne color code in a spray can at Autozone. Buddy of mine had a champagne coupe and he picked up a black one, sanded it down, primed it and painted it. Obviously it didnt look EXACTLY like it, because it was made in a different batch, by a different company. But to this day I'm the only one who knows he painted it. Nobody else has said anything.
