ESTRELLA-D - Part 1.

Edit: This thread has been split into two seperate threads now and stickied because it will automatically start pruning posts after 50 pages. The second section is titled Part 2 and is the currently active version of this build thread, which can be found HERE. From this point forth, teleportation to 2007 will occur, prepare for time travel.


Ok, so a few of you might remember me hating my car at the end of last season for a billion different reasons. So said i would do a couple of winter projects...so your prolly like where the FUCK is this faggots winter parts? Everyone else is almost done! Fear not my friends i was waiting until stuff came together and i had pics.

So here we go with my mini build.

Well start with couple of pics of my car at the end of last season. I bought the car stock about a year before these pics were taken but didnt take pics until this point so yeah.





So that shits fucking gay right??? RIGHT!!!?? FUCKING RIGHT ITS GAY.
ITS WEAKER THAN A NEWBORN SASQUATCH, ITS DOWNRIGHT BLASPHEMY THAT SHOULD BE REGULATED BY THE FCC.

So my car was super fucking shaky, the brakes were metal on metal, it was high as hell, but i sorta digged it.
It also had lame ass yellow lights, and some weakass tach that atown LOVES.

So then i got rid of my bent ass SSR's that i curbed the shit out of and put on some SWEET swastikas that Atown sold me for CHEAP. Thanks for the great sweet deal Atown, you rock.

I also got some nice headlights and got rid of the yellow shit and installed some nice Yellow oem style foglights. At the same time i got my brakes replaced with new oem shit. Im not doing much roadracing so i just got new oem pads and rotors all the way around with some DOT 4. BIG thanks to DC2_lsvtec for helping me BIGTIME with the install.

So this is what the car looked like then.




So now it didnt shake on the road anymore, and it looked a little better and actually stopped.
Only one problem.
IT WAS STILL GAY.

So the swastikas were only a temporary winter solution until i got my cream SSR's refinished for summer. But then i decided i wanted a WHOLE new look. And i wanted wider deeper wheels for flares. Not be a poser and space them. So heres whats going down right now, I found a PERFECT set of the nicest fucking sized SSR's around.
15x8-10 all around. Only problem was they were in fucking FLINT MICHIGAN. So i called up Roski, and Frankmon and we went on a roadtrip. 12 hours of driving later i had my dream wheels.
Also, i wanted some new aero goodies for the car so i decided on a classy combo consisting of the ORIGIN roof wing and ORIGIN three piece rear hatch spoiler. I also went ahead and ordered up my coilovers. STANCE GR+pros with the helper springs. The coilovers were on backorder at Touge FActory so im sitting wating for them to finish up the looks.

Heres some pics of the new SSR's next to my old ones and the spoilers all mounted up.
NOTE: the white/creamish wheels are the old bent ones.
I should have some test fit pics of the new wheels up in about an hour or so. Then i have to wait for my stances to come in sometime this week to pull the shit out of the fenders in order to fit the wheels.

















.

Ill be back in about in hour with the test fit pics.

Okay so we got the right side bolted on.
As soon as we dropped the car after teh first one was on we started giggling like bitches. This shit is CRAZY. Sticks out like a motherfucker and a half. Im gonna have to pull the dogshit out of the fenders and camber the shit out of the wheels to fit them.
Heres some quick pics of right after we dropped the one side down with no skirts or lip attached.

"gimme the map frank. . . .. n-no. . . not the funyuns. . . gimme THE MAP FRANK!. . .. . .. . oh. . . here it is". . .

AHaHhaahAHAhahaahAHHAhaH

looking more mexican-styled than ever with those wheels meng

camber and slamming the car will fix that though shit looks hot. more pics of less clearance ASAP!

oh, and i thought you were going with a wing like this:

I decided against it for the time being.
For some reason i thought it would look cheesy.
So i scratched the flare and B wave idea until next year.

god it's so ricey it hurts my eyes!!!


[-10 offset = sex Nightowl stamp of approval]

[[yes i'm well aware that i probably slaughtered the spelling of many words in this post]]

you beaner (relax i'm mexican). aero and wheels look good. ive never been into mesh, but it looks good on you car. thats going to be a fender pull and a half. keep us posted.

u took those wheels on some foos astro!!!

FTMFW. fo shizzo

the more i look at it, the more i like the spoiler. good choice.

HEres the test fit pics with everything back on.
Cars super dirty and salty still.








So now im just waiting until my Stances come in this week so i can slam the crap out of it and pull the fenders. Ill probably be running about 3 degrees of camber in the front and about 2.5 in the rear.
Then sometime after that i should be getting my diff welded very soon, then come the Peak performance rucas, some sways and some other ****.

Oh yeah in case i forgot to mention.
In the old pics the wheels were 15x7.5 +5 SSR Reverse mesh in the rear.
and 15x7 +10 Riken mesh in the front.
the new wheels are 15x8-10 SSR Formula Mesh all around in 3 pc.
Next pics should be around Thursday when the coilovers come in.

you need to get some higher profile tyres... rubber bands on 15" look wierd

NOpe these are just right, just wait for the coilover pics.

be careful when you lower the car. these roads suck ass, as i'm sure you know . car is coming along. where are you getting your welded diff from?

the roads are fine. dont hit stuff.

matter of opinion. potholes, construction, bad/uneven roads, steep driveways........ not fun. sure you can slam the hell out of the car if you want. only thing that sucks is replacing lips and bumpers after they get damaged. if its a dd it'll be a pain in the ass. trust me i know

WOOOW where did this come from you sneaky mutha fucka I havent heard you say shit about anything you were doin then you blow up with a list of goodies. I thought u liked your car the ay it was I'm glad you didnt cuz now it looks like it should be one hell of a hatch. Nice work.

Haha.
Yeah, thanks man.
I needed the full on hotness.

You would probly be able to get away with a roll and a slight pull all around. Add lots of camber and slam the living shit out of it. I would also look pimp if you got somesort of bozosuka style exhaust put on.

You NEED somesort of rear valence or bumper, ur car just looks funny from the side

Paint the wing on ur trunk, the other one can stay the way it is
