dmyers151 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yeah, its not going to at all. I've been looking for a simple fix and came up with something like Intercooledflatty is running on his San Marino car. I'm just gonna cut the exhaust after the flex section and add this guy (or a close relative):http://i.pbase.com/o4/27/673327/1/61586246.ID33Jut0.PurpleHorny.JPG Then hang it up nice and tight to the floor.

dmyers151 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Not so much an update as a look back. I was hanging out with V8starion this weekend and he happened to have these pictures from the car's ebay auction: http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/Conquest%20TSi/DSC06025.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/Conquest%20TSi/DSC06009.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/Conquest%20TSi/DSC06007.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/Conquest%20TSi/DSC06005.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/Conquest%20TSi/DSC06004-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It's a good muffler man, I really like the tone I get from it. My exhaust just hangs crazy low and at an awkward angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Coils will be done this weekend! It's the alignment that's gonna kill me, and tires. Alignment is gonna cost me a ton for a good one, and tires are $130 ea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Lowering complete. I'm gonna bring the rear up about 1/2" and the front down about 1/2". That should give me the stance I'm looking for.http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4059/4463982137_3b983fa2a0_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2751/4464747188_e413cd5156_b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nah, that won't happen til at least next season. I can't justify taking the front end apart again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Update:SHP 8's installed on the front, standard 8's out back with 245/45/16's on all four corners.http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/April_2010/HPIM0492.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/April_2010/HPIM0493.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/April_2010/HPIM0495.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/April_2010/HPIM0498.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alsandr Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm curious: would you get the same look if you ran regular 8's all the way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strang3majik Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 looks great Dale! One thing, though. I miss the red stripe around the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 If you ran standard 8's all around the fronts would stick out further than the rears. They'd be almost flush with the wheel arch in the fender. Look back in my photos here and you'll see my original setup with standard 8's up front and 9's out back.

dmyers151 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) looks great Dale! One thing, though. I miss the red stripe around the wheels They looked good before the fender stripe went on. But with the fender stripe they just made the car too busy and jumbled. I like it so much more now all black with the fender stripe and polished center caps. The coil-overs made it 1000x better also. It's almost too pretty to drive... Almost.

strang3majik Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I didn't even notice the center caps until you said that...that does look good. I actually think some chrome lug nuts would finish it off. But, it does look good. I honestly think one of the best looking ones I've seen. Black is a beautiful color.

dmyers151 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yup, I got 'em in the GP Starquestrims did a couple weeks ago, I like them a lot, plus they are pretty rare I think. It's definitely come a long way. I've made it exactly the way I saw it in my head when I first looked at the car. I appreciate the kind words man.
