It's ok to take a picture of a dirty car. I don't think anyone will mind.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Ya I know, I just figured, I take enough pics, I'll just get one when it's a little cleaner :D Shouldn't be long before I have some other project to do and the camera will be out!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

And people called me a shopaholic. haha. You've even given me a 'bad' idea or two lately.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

The car is now amazingly comfortable to cruise in but is still nimble. Get that thing to put down 300-400whp at DB and it would be perfect.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Okfine, after pics. It's not super clean, but seeing as its raining out while I took this, it's not gonna get much cleaner than this for a while :P

Wowza, lowered X's look crazy sexy imo.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I need a ride, i might have to get some eibach's and trying to figure out what rear sway to get eventually.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looks super nice!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I dunno, I think Shawn's Rotas would look good on there.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

You're welcome to take it for a spin anytime :)

Thanks man!

This car will never see black/gunmetal rims, my eyes would be stabbed out and my heart would break... :D

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Scheides, The silved P45's look just right. Black car and dark wheels dont mix well, looks like steelies everytime. ;)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

The offset annoys me more than color, I'm afraid.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

LOL ... I love black on black/dark wheel look... but to each his own....

Car def looks sexy as is (even if the wheels arent black), that drop is a nice amount, Can't wait to get a ride in it!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I think you should sell those p45f's and move on to some p45r's. 18x9.5" ftw!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Remember these rims are basically free at this point, I yanked them off of my crashed evo8 before it was hauled away. The tires had literally like 400 miles on them. I'll consider upgrading sometime after I get the body work done, undertray back on, and the whp issue addressed :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I like the way you think...still have a little dsm'er in ya hahaha

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Thanks guys! Got an alignment today @TheAlignmentGuy.com and the car feels freaking AWESOME! Jeff does all the top cars around here, fantastic guy! Ended up with zero toe and about -2° camber in the front and -1.5° in the back.

Jeff has been known to have a bit of a temper, but he is an awesome guy! I brought him starbucks :)

scheides: 'hey man, it's scheides. I'm ready.'

scheides: 'big one, duh.'
chad: ' a'ight den, it'll be in the mail on Tuesday.'

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Geez, that didn't last long ! I knew you could'nt be without your previous evo power for long, lol. Grats man. Tune date?

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Why on earth would I setup a tuning date when my setup isn't together yet :) It'll be a self-modified version of my stock turbo tune for now, gonna keep things nice and simple.
