The01cav's official progress thread. new mod 8/12/07
Monday, August 13, 2007 2:37 PM
Well since everyone has been suggesting that I make 1 progress thread about my car instead of a bunch of threads. I'm not showing all mods but some of the ones that I have done.

The day I got it, just added wheels

Then came sprint springs, de badging and de molding

Added OBX greddy evo style muffler, tails and clear corners


Next came me painting the wheels graphite and removing the pin stripe


Added a megan racing catback exhaust and added H&R lowering springs and put the stock tails and corners back on





New wheels.

Painted graphite but didnt care for them so changed them to silver and added sportines and d-specs and a front sway bar




Added RSM crank pulley, auto trans interceptor, motor mounts

Added 00-02 Z24 spoiler, and toyota tails



My newest mod at the moment painted the mirrors, done 8/12/07




And the last pic here is the person that helps me with alot of my mods and keep me calm and patient, my girl and my car

Some sort of kit is in the plans, I'm torn between doing a LS sport kit with a 03+ rear bumper or going with a wings west big mouth.

I wanna do the bigmouth possibly because I want to get the hahn turbo kit for it next year. So a front mount would look very nice behind the big mouth.

No big mouth! Your car looks sweet man, i'd definatly go with the z24 lip or the ww one. I like it a lot, nice and clean and the colour is wicked. What about some orange corners?

Big mouth with 03+ sides and rear. Very nice clean look going. You've changed your suspension enough though.

nice improvement! I have a question. how did you go about drilling the holes for the spoiler? I just got a z24 spolier as well but need to drill the holes! im thinking just aligning it and marking the holes then drilling them? sorry for hijacking you thread! You should paint the door handles as well. I painted them when i painted the mirrors!

My car already had a spoiler on it. So I didn't have to re drill any holes.

When we installed my SS wing we had to drill holes. Granted we had to dill through fiberglass so had to do it a lil different but what we did, as funny as it sounds... we actually put lipstick on the bottom of the bolts that come out of the wing, then aligned the wing and set it against the trunk so the lipstick left lil marks (we use whiteout first but it didnt work) and then we re-measured everything to make sure that it was alligned straight and its where it needed to be. the drilled. dont forget to use silicone on the inside (or something) so that the holes dont leak, then screw the nuts on.. with fiberglass we started with a tiny tiny drill bit and worked our way up to the proper size, so it would splinter or crack, but you wont need to do that if your working with the stock trunk.

Thanks, I compounded, scratch x'ed, polished, waxed, and sealed them last night. Turtle wax rubbing compound, Meguiars scratch x, meguiars polish, dupont teflon wax, pro long paint sealant. Those are what I used on them and they really look alot smoother and deeper.

I must say, im starting to have faith in you. When you first started it seemed all wrong and I'd kinda bash you a bit, but you've done a nice job with the car since then and once that has a lip kit or big mouth kit on it it's gunna look great! Keep it up man!

Thanks man I appreciate it, I know I was still in my ricer mode I guess you could say. Trying to make it look good now and actually starting to get some compliments when I drive down the road.
