I used Turtle Wax Black Box and a lot of arm power.
I think the car looks pretty good for having 155k+ miles.

Well the weather has warmed up so I pulled the RX7 out, cleaned her up and drove it.
Damn, can't wait to drive my convertible again.
I wish I had a VR4 spyder, there was one on ebay I was going to bid on but the wife brought me down to reality real quick. One day I'll have one and build it from the ground up.Quote:

Eibachs up front, Megan's in the rear, so she's sagging in the back, lol. I'll be doing the fronts soon.
Don't know why I didn't wash the air filter... Time for a new one anyway.
Rockin my $20 fog lights. I like them so far.
ABS Delete kit just sitting on my workbench. Need to go ahead and knock that out.
Have some more powdercoated parts waiting, but those won't go on until the TT conversion :)

Just waiting on my painter...perhaps next weekend. Probably will do another coat or two of primer and wet sanding. Why not?

again, read what he posted. he has coilovers on the back. putting the same springs on them won't fix it.Quote:

Whether is it springs or coilovers he said "I'LL BE DOING THE FRONTS SOON"
And people don't have to run the same springs. People mix and match springs all the time.
Brian u mad?
Are they Megan springs or coilovers? If coilovers just jack the rear up and adjust the height in the rear. looks too low anyway.Quote:

I started out with eibachs which didn't do much. So switching to megans all around. Did the rear but just haven't had the time to do the front yet. Also, doing the rear again because now I have some kyb g2's. It's faster the 2nd and 3rd time around so I may be able to knock them all out in 1 day this time :p

^^ nice cars. I'd the TL a Type-S? Those look kinda like the S rims.
Unfortunately it's not a Type S. I couldn't find a Type S for sale locally when I was looking, but I got a really good deal on this low mileage base. I have everything installed to make it a Type S (besides the 3.5 engine) plus more. If the 5AT trans goes out (which it shouldn't because I have a large front mounted trans cooler and do religious trans flushes), ill swap the 6 speed in. I might find a j35 block and build it after my vr4 is where I want it to be, but for now ill just get all the bolt ons and that should put it around 300whp. Plenty enough for a nice daily.Quote:

Looking sweet Gump
Springs all around. When I do the front, I think it'll raise the back up a hair and be about perfect for me. Knowing me, I probably also had about 200lbs of tools and shit in the trunk at the time, lol.Quote:

If you can't take a corner without rubbing tires or a speed bump without ripping the exhaust off then raise the car back up.Quote:

I had to take the TT exhaust off my car and go back to NA exhaust because I kept dragging it. LOLQuote:

Part of the issue with my dragging was because I had trouble modifying the exhaust properly to fit around the control arms. Never could get it up where it needed to be.
I agree. I also hate the stretched tires, super retarded camber, and the fenders touching the lips of the rims making the car completely useless.Quote:

Still sitting and waiting for more miles...

Forest your car would look nasty with some 18" AMR's.
