Great looking car! But take those HID's out of your stock headlights and get some projectors!

 

Thx, man. I would do with pleasure stock headlight swap , but recently our f*cking government announced few laws, so now it is extremely expensive to import stuff from ebay. We have to pay ~30% of item's cost if it is imported from outside EU. So it will be around 400$ to import headlights from ebay I think by the upcoming spring I will think about new headlights and fog lights ...

 

Few weeks ago painted front turn lights and rear lamps with black spray



Lucky kitten, who has survived a ride under the hood :ndance:



Some photos from winter "drifts" at night in Riga:

 

Soon I am going to visit our member Basoski and grab his '18 ADR Rims, as I need some dark rims for This summer and ADR's should look fine with my car Hope within few days I will get them...

 

His 3g is beautiful! Don't forget to take some pictures when you meet up! :yesway:

 

what color is that?? i love it!

 

full custom. Originally it was Titanium Pearl

What camera are you using to take your car pics?

Canon EOS 400D

nice looking car really like that color. Why dont you paint your winter rims black they would look really good

Good idea, I suppose to do that by autumn

But xenon's with stock headlighs not good for other drivers

I know, trying to solve this problem ASAP. Hope to get dual projectors from Russia

have you thought of doing a retrofit? there are kits, but it is also , not that hard to just take projectors form a another and graft them into you stock housings (using the reflector as that mounting point.) just a thought.

Stock headlights look pretty boring, I will try to get double-projectors.. probably smoked..

looks good man

thx

shit, give me $600 and I'll make stock headlights with REAL HID in them and done correctly. :lol: shipping though will be killer.

Love your car, especially the wheels but IMO the turns looked better clear. Those turns are like frosted clear, not the usual clear turns from eBay, does anyone know if anyone still sells those because they look much better.

 

looks good man :yesway:

 

Welcome, nice start.
But xenon's with stock headlighs not good for other drivers

 

YEAH! Here are new rims for spring/summer..

 

much better. Now it needs a drop and black housing headlights

 

no way. Next step is 4g64T + brembo.

no no no, swap the head from the 4G63 onto the 4G64 block for a 2.4L DOHC turbo engine. You'll get tons more torque and be able to spool a bigger turbo more easily, not to mention outside of boost the engine will be much more driveable.

 

wow car is looking good man cant wait till your done with the build

 

I want Brembos so badly! I can never find some for a good price and in good condition

 

Got them for 700$ (all that you see in this photo). In my country people does not realize the real value of the word "brembo"

Bitter I would love to put a head from 4G63T , but it is out of my budget. According to the project, all intake will be taken from EVO9 (piping,intercooler,turbo,e.t.c.) and same about exaust and the head will remain original. I am ready to spend not more then 5k on both upgrades : brakes , turbo, bov, tt, gauges and some other electronic stuff.

 

Looks like its coming together well.
I want to do the brembo swap next as well.

 

Great car btw - uber clean

 

That color looks nice:yesway:

Looking forward to seeing the progress of your 3G:eek3:

 

Nice wheels

 

thx for them) it is a pitty that they are sticking out for few cm in the front :mecry2: , but on the other hand, big brembo kit can be installed under these rims..

 

epic fail: ADP Spartan are not compatible with big Brembo kit Looks I have to get rid of actual rims...

 

That blows.

What rims are you looking at now? I love that paint job!

 

damn that sucks, i love those wheels on there

 

damn man that sucks oh well this can give you some time to get some new nicer wheels

 

I will grab EVO 8 Enkei for some time. I did not enjoy riding on R18, as car's acceleration was worse, due to quality of local roads my ass is acking everytime I get out from the car, so I will stick to R17
