Official modded 1er thread. No stock cars please.....

Eyeman · 05-11-2009, 05:18 PM

Blacknwhite, keep the pics and updates coming as you get more done. I know HRE wheels are custom, but what model, sizes, offsets did you get and what tires are you running? Rubbing? How much did you lower?

I like the back view alot, I'm sure it's still a work in progress on the front. You barely gave us a sideview, more plz.

love how all the parts come together on your car, though I'd paint a lot of it. HRE's are bomb!

I do 1/4 mile every week. By track i mean circle track or tracks other then 1/4 mile. I street race on back roads where no one is around. There is a 10 mile straight run back in the middle of no where, where we stunt (street bikes) and race.

Thanks for your comments! No where near bein finished

What type of tires?

Eyeman · 05-20-2009, 08:36 PM

I'm almost finished for a year or two which is how long I'll try to wait to get a tune and FMIC. It's pretty crazy how much I've modified a car that I already loved. I'll post more updates on my recent suspension and dp mods in those section soon.

Mods in chronological progression:
Tint
Golf Teed (no longer have the stock muffler installed)
Radio display fix
Debadged
Despoilered
Injen-polished version
Gravity Auto shadowline diffuser
RR oil catch can-polished version
spare tire with cover (Andy at LeatherZ?)
jack pad tool
Volk 19" LE37-T's (obtained thru a trade including my stock wheels/tires)
scissors jack, breaker bar, 17mm socket (Advance Auto)
wheel locks (still not installed)
MadDad axleback-polished tips
rear fender roll
AR downpipes-catless,coated w BSM sims
KW V1's, lowered 20mm or so, still settling
Cross strut bar

Here's a quick pic of my engine compartment and a side view the day of coilover install.

So you rolled your fenders?

cagekicker · 05-20-2009, 10:28 PM

wow! what a great topic.

Eyeman · 05-21-2009, 12:05 AM

Actually if you notice the reflection above my rear fenders you can really see how the fender was bend out. Butler Tire did it for me. I'd guess that the inner part of the fender at the top moved out 10mm or so. I'm not rubbing with 19x9.5 et45 with 245/35 Hankook rears lowered as much as you can see in the photo.

I don't think I'm gonna rub in the front even with 235's on 8.5 inch wheels. If I did everyone seems to say that rolling the front really doesn't work well or gain much room. Plus you know the paint can crack when fenders are rolled.

Don't recall PM Dan. It was like 100 bucks to paint.

ulrichd · 05-23-2009, 04:13 PM

Dropped on Eibach/Koni FSD combo.

Carpimp · 05-27-2009, 12:22 PM

Here is a couple of newer picures of my car. Sorry about the quality, a new camera is very high on my "to buy" list.

The mods:
Performance front
Performance CF splitters
Performance CF spoiler
Performance sideskirts
Performance chassi
Performance rotors
Performance exhaust
Black mirrorcovers
Black diffusor
No keyhole on the door

I hate the quality of this picture (probably the camera and the cameraman), but i still like the motive and the darkness of it.

Cheers...

///Morgan · 05-27-2009, 12:35 PM

Congrats Carpimp!!!
I think your car looks awesome with the Performance Front!
Good taste namesake!

I'll start off with a time progression on the car.

The car as it sits today:

Before that:
