Nice car, I dont agree wit the underglow tho..ricey IMO but everyone has their on style.

You should put a nice S-Tech drop wit sum AGX shocks on there. Debadge the V6 emblems...Get sum tinted corner front bumper lights....sum nice rims...and a GrilleCraft Grill would look nice too!

[cinek10]

^^what he said
just dont go and start putting decals all over the car, keep it clean

[rippedeclipse]

looks good lower it with some wheels

[B_Lish's3GGT]

It says you have Dunlop wheels but in the pictures above, you're still rockin' the Eagle RS-As.

[bd3g5]

I remember the good ol' eagle RS-A's....those things were absolute shit

my first thought about the car.

[XwP1ayawX]

Nice, reminds me of when I first got my car I don't mind the glow or anything, but you definately need rims and a drop. Then look into lips or something to pull it all together. Keep it up though man, looks like you take care of it.

[palooza]

not a big fan of the underglow but the car besides that looks great!!!

[rwc]

fucking spotless engine bay man, looks great. whats the mileage on this thing?

[metzgerhund]

Nice and clean, however I am not a fan of the Streetglow Neons.

[RUNUMHARD]

clean stock car. lip kit and slam that shit. take off the neon lights and change that exhaust. invest in suspension first though; very first thing.

[LUNAR]

Very clean!

[drunkoffjuic]

Because this was my 2nd post on my Members Ride thread, this will be where i have old photos from when first got the car and the first few mods i did to it.

Ok so here are some updated photos of the car all nice and cleaned/waxed. I had time to do it this weekend, and it came out great!! I tried my best with the light i had. Tell me what you guys think of the car with the drop as well!

So if anyone has any tips on the install, please PM or post.

Thanks for you feedback keep it coming

Oh and by the way, i bought it with 38,000 in march and i now have around 48,000. Mind you i also took a 3000 mile road trip this summer.

[drunkoffjuic]

oh yeah, and by the way i had the goodyears on, but i had one of my friends drive my car for a few days, the day i got it back he said that he was doing burnouts with it. I also felt this huge flat spot on the tires once i drove it again. He helped buy me new ones, and i needed them anyway. Only thing is i had to get all season tires, ended up with Dunlop. ill get a new set with new rims next summer!

[ondarun134]

what do you mean by "tinted corner front bumper lights" nd how can u saftly remove the v6 emblems?

[drunkoffjuic]

ok so i have called up a few places to try and get these KYB's and springs installed. But they want way to much; 6 hours at $90 p/h + $150 to get it aligned. My friend is like not going to help anymore. "has no time" Anyone know of a cheap place to get them put on in Chicago??

[WingS_WesT_3g]

installin that is so easy. I took off my tein soilover setup yesterday and reinstalled it in less then 30 minutes on each side. its really simple man.

[IriS]

i like the underglow, you hid the tubes under the car really well. i was thinking about doing something similar to my car. were they hard to install?

[2fast2furious]

i like the neon ligths they are just like my car

[drunkoffjuic]

hell no!!! they were easy as hell. I got the sides and the back done in like 2 hours, but it got late so i didnt do the front. Like a few weeks later i put on the front in like 20 min. The only hard part is the finding out were to put the switch to turn it on. But in all, very easy.

[IriS]

cool, ill b shure to pm u when i do mine

[Nabeel]

man that tip looks fugly buy a nice cat back and lose the underbodies, a drop with some tinted turns and wheels and your set, oh and some black projectors

[Audax]

Yeah.. WW3G is right.. suspension work is fairly easy. I'm not very mechanically inclined and my friend and I were able to install my springs today in about 3 hours total. Use this as your guide and you should be just fine:

http://club3g.com/forum/showthread.php?t=280

Also, I was able to rent a spring compressor at my local Autozone for FREE! They require a $45 deposit which is refunded when the tool is returned.

I like your neons also. I don't know why everyone is saying to remove them. You've done a good job of hiding them under the vehicle, so unless you drive around with them on it's not like anyone sees them anyways. They'll be great once you start entering shows..

[drunkoffjuic]

Yeah i know the tip looks like shit, but im not about to go out and drop 4 bills on a cat back right now. I bought the car with the tip.
I like the neons, i got them really cheap so why not. I get good Complements on them, Obviously from IriS. I have the AGX's just waiting to put them on. Im thinking maybe after winter.
And im waiting to buy anything else because i dont know how much im going to end up paying after my court date for my speeding ticket.

[BEISSEN]

THe TIp is Gay,The Neons are gay and thats all othyer then that its decent.4 bills on a Cat Back is well worth it trust me.I have the Invidia and go to The Group bus forum and I am sure you will find alot ofg good deal there.

[drunkoffjuic]

So i switched my CAI to a short Ram intake, its like only 30 here so why do i need colder air.


I also have my KYB's just sitting, looking sad. Waiting waiting waiting. cant wait to put them on.



Man they are going to look so good.

[drunkoffjuic]

So i am really glad i have not put those AGX's on yet. It snowed like 7 1/2 in. today. I felt like i was clearing the road myself. I never really thought our cars were that low. All i felt was snow rubbing on the bottom of my car. Im thinking i might now wait till the end of winter.

[drunkoffjuic]

Well the AGX + Prokit is in!!
Before:


After:


I also took a few other pics, they didnt really come out so good but here they are anyway.

[drunkoffjuic]

Look what i got today!!!!

Cant wait to put these in this weekend.

[drunkoffjuic]

::UPDATE::

[sipoeclipse]

those alpine 6x9's wont have any bass in them...i had them in my car and hated it...

[crpearce]

You might want to look into getting the camber fixed if you haven't already. It looks a little off in the updated pictures.

[drunkoffjuic]

::UPDATE::

[huablis04]

Nice choice of movie. Fucking love that movie. I never get bored watching it. Nice car so far.

[crpearce]

I agree on that being a good movie choice. Way to go on the install. It looks good.

[ZoomZoomGT]

I would like the neon if it was red and actually matching your car.

[drunkoffjuic]

Yeah i was thinking red first too, but wanted to stand out a little. Im also going to turn all the inside dash lights bule and the cluster blue. so why not match all the lights??

[drunkoffjuic]

So this is what i did to my car last weekend!!!! it sucked. i was pulling into a parking lot after my moms wedding and got in fine. there were no spaces in the first lot so i went to the next one. I was pulling into the 2nd lot and some car started to back out and he didnt see me. so i had to swerve to have him not hit me, but in the meantime i ran into a curb. this is the damage:


does not look so bad.... right? wrong. it pushed the underside of my car in. they called it the rocker. it was a good 1 1/2 foot area. I already have it in the shop to get it fixed. i should get it by tomorrow. They were going to use the old sideskirt and endcap because they were not cracked only scratched to hell. They said they were going to sand the hell out of it and repaint it all. ill post pics once i get the car back. hope it will look ok.

[ez06]

looks like the bottom of your fender got a piece of the action..hope everything comes together okay for you

[drunkoffjuic]

i thought so too but all it did was push it in. doesnt even need to be painted.

[drunkoffjuic]

Ok, so i got the side skirt and fender fixed. i got a ride over there in my grandmothers car from my girlfriend on sat. morning. I got the car, the job was amazing, but the only thing i didnt like is that they took the other side skirt off to help with molding the rocker the way it should look. insted of pulling the skirt off in the correct and nice way, they used a screwdriver to pry it off and left little pry marks all over the Other skirt. I had to take the car that day because i needed the car. They told me to bring it back on monday.
Well everything is going ok after that. My girl told me to go ahead of her and she would follow. So i did. we are pulling out of the parking lot and i got stopped halfway into the street because of oncomeing traffic. she on the other hand thought i was going to keep going so she hit the gas. at the last second, from what she told me, she saw i hit the brakes and she went for the breaks as well. she hit the brake but her foot slipped of and hit the gas, WHAM, right into the back of my car.
I AM SO PISSED. i turned off the street and got out to look at the car. no damage to my grandmothers car, but of course it bent the bumper in and scratched the hell out of the paint. I can live with it for a little bit only because i know it wont rust like the rocker would have. its a little funny because you can clearly see the plate numbers inprinted in the paint of my car. so im going to wait to get it fixed. just because i dont have the money right now to get it fixed. but she said she would pay for it when she gets the money. i made her sign something and everything. ill get pics later and put them up.
Im getting sick of fixing my car!!!!

[drunkoffjuic]

here are the pics of the fix. and also of the bumper.

[crpearce]

It still looks like you need to tuck that exhaust in.

Yeah, I love everything except for the exhaust.

[drunkoffjuic]

That's a nice list of mods you have there. Glad to see you got the Invidia, looks much better than what you had on there before!

[isimon91]

Clean looking ride bro! Nice job with everything, hope it all works out.

[Special_K]

The paint work looks great.

[Regulator]

Nice update, looks like the springs settled in nicely. Did you powdercoat or paint the calipers? Dual piston I assume

[Trance]

Car looks good. I like the new painted pieces, they should look great on the car.

[Special_K]

I was wondering the same thing.

[drunkoffjuic]

Its color matched spray paint. With absolutely no wet sanding on the interior pieces. I tried once and fucked them up so bad, went too far down into the clear coat.

And yes, dual pistons off of a 2000 GT. They looked like complete shit when I got them. I got the used from an online junk yard. I bead blasted them clean and bought new everything; clip set, pistons, seals, bleeder screws and bolts. I’m just waiting for the last caliper to cure completely before I put these bad boys on.

And thanks for all the comments guys!!

[BlackWidow]

Looking good buddy.

See you in normal?

[drunkoffjuic]

you know it!! room booked and requested days off of work! im set. Ill be there.

I also hope to have this all on by then.

You were going and then you stopped and since the damn car seat won't move up and I can't reach the pedals, I hit you! Just a love tap!!!! Damn you, cursing me out online! Wait till I find some bad pictures of you! Karma!!!!
