Well havnt posted much in a good while, and a whole lot has changed with the car soo figured Id make a lil update and use this for progress..start off with a few recent pics of the car, its not painted yet just wet in pics, car is in primer as I had alot of small dents to fill and waiting on sides and some other things then it will be getting painted. Have done alot but these are just some more recent things Ive done



Just picked these wheels up the other day 17" 5zigens


A little camber action, gona drop it some more after rolling my fenders and doing some custom camber front mounts for my basics\


Got purple tuner lugs to go with them, gotta rep my ravens


Got a glassed shaved lid, had spoiler holes which I filled..spoilerless has realy grown on me



Cleaned up and painted control arms with poly bushings and new ball joints


Thats it for now, theres alot more Ive done that need to take pics of stuff. Ill update as things progress, including whats going on under the hood now and whats to come Lemme know what you guys think!

are those lugs aluminum? if so, from what many others have told me, and i know schulte did, said they are junk and fall off.

Love to see you're making progress Mike! Now you just gotta share what's under the hood (not that I don't already know, lol!). Keep up the good work man!

Sooo whats under the hood???,?

fml, didnt realize the pics posted small lol..Yes the lugs are aluminum, havnt had problems yet with them coming loose and this is even using a 5mm spacer in rear with stock studs. If I have problems Ill get some muteki's but def wasnt paying $100+ for volks.

Hah thanks Matt, Ill have underhood pics up soon, been painting and cleaning up a few things so need to take some new ones..still need to make my trip up near you to pick up all my goodies

I have a lot of your parts here...

Few small updates, finaly did amber corners which Ive been wanting to do forever.



Also picked up some oem rear mounts for my basics, cant wait to get solid camber fronts since my front mounts are pretty much blown


And a few current shots of whats going on under the hood Nothing special now just a few bolt ons and need to clean up alotta things, but not bad considering what I paid for everything I needed for the swap



Gona have alot more coming soon whenever I get off my ass and pick some stuff up and start installing

front looks good!

I have had deevo aluminum lug nuts on now for a while, and never had an issue, hold very tight. I still have all your stuff here in a tote for you lmao... I am excited to see more ecotecs getting done!

Thanks! I debated doing another modded IF front but this front should look pretty good with an ic behind it

Ok thanks Phil maybe we can set something up next weekend? Hopefuly wont have any work @!#$ to do or anything. Im excited to see what I can do with the eco considering all the abuse my stock ld9 took which had alot more mileage too.

The only thing I do not have on me atm is the charge pipes and bov, it's with PJ

Its cool Phil when you think your gettin those from him?

Idk, whenever the car comes back, hoping sometime before next weekend

Got my rear mounts on this weekend, definitely a good addition to my basics. The rear feels alot more planted and solid



Also painted my drums while I was at it which shouldve done a looong time ago lol

With 8mm spacer

Got my coil swap ready to go on just wana figure out where I wana mount. Might make a small bracket to mount off out of the way somewhere, any ideas?

Here's a few.

Thanks bro. I may mount it to the upper ps pump bolt like I had on my ld9 but might make a smaller custom bracket instead of the 2200 icm bracket. Need to put my battery back in my trunk thatll which will gimme more room under hood

I'd pick on you for being an LD9 traitor but I have too many of your old parts to complain... hahaha

Looking good Mike.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

Bahaha, found some more ld9 stuff I forgot I still had when I dug out that header for ya..cant knock the ld9 it was good to me for a long time, eco swap was just an easier option at the time. Spent a grand on a wrecked 02 lss with only 42k, took everything for the swap, swapped whole graphite interior which was mint, some body parts and other misc things then parted some out..def got my moneys worth out of it!

Mike I answered your post in my thread but I'll add here, it was the metal cast stuff you spoke of

Oh ok awesome thanks Phil, might have to play with it a bit when I get some stuff from ya

whered you get the spacers??

Theyre just universal spacers from ebay,were like 20 something shipped

i always freak out buying them, last spacers i have didnt fit right and they said 5x100, this was years ago though
