how much are those control arms

 

not sure...I'll find out pricing in November

 

just painted some stuff for now nothing special





I put the front hubs back together and the extended studs on as well

Hopefully when the rest of my parts get here I should be able to lower the car down and roll her into the shop

 

Ran into some trouble after I got the spacers today. Found that with 20mm spacers the 2.5" extended studs are not long enough lol.

Parts list that I need to order:

2 sets of 3.25" arp studs
Front/rear rotors
Front/rear Brake pads
Seats
Harnesses
Fenders
(Waiting for my control arm/knuckles from MAX)
Bump steer kit
Braided brake line (&fittings)
Braided fuel line (&fittings)
Fuel pump
Steering wheel
Motor swap
Stand alone ecu
Cage
Rims
Driveshaft

Blah blah blah

Post pics up when I get out of class later tonight

 

So THANK YOU J-AUTO



Anyways Ill let the simple pics do that talking




(going to push the bearings in more and put the snap ring in too, but didnt have the right tool)

 

Looking good man keep it up!

 

The car is looking good man!

 

thanks...I plan on posting up more pics soon...just pushed the rear spherical bearings in and subframe bushings....I plan on actually priming the rear this week and put the rest of the subframe on. I want to get this thing "rolling" by friday

Thanks man.. come check it out sometime ahha

 

 

 

Picked up a s5 tonight for pretty low with rebuilt N/A motor







only bad thing that I found on it was that my hatch light always stays on and my left blinkers are not having power to them

anyways may start a new thread on the s5 since I will more likely than not just be swapping all my parts from this build to that

 

So...I will keep that Red FC (s4) for the track and the White FC (S5) for a fun summer ride

planning on painting the white fc white next spring and yea... need to find time tho














put the max coilovers on the rear just to check out the stance

 

5:For coilovers, I'm going with Pettit Racing's Trak Pro Competitions, I've heard that K-Sports and Megan Racing's are decent.
6:The brakes on the FC are good unless you've got single pot calipers then I would suggest upgrading to the four pots and a good set of pads like Hawk HPS's and maybe some Powerslot rotors or even Hawks QuietSlot rotors.
16: You mean S5 Tails
17: An Electic fan is pointless unless you're just freeing up space.
21: You realize what all this includes and how much it will cost right?
23: I highly don't recommend switching to power everything but if you really want to I will trade you my power setup for your manual windows and locks, when **** fails it becomes a pain in the ***. I'm using my battery to put my windows up and down and have the wires for the regulators sticking out of my doors, have to rewire ****.
24: Why are you relocating your oil cooler, and where is it being relocated. Hopefully you're keeping the stock cooler cause aftermarket coolers aren't anywhere near as good.

Otherwise I'll subscribe and see how everything goes and bid you good luck with your build.

 

Damn extra delayed post ahha that was done several months ago. On to bigger and better things my friend

 

Looks good, subscribed for end result.

 

Started to put it together to roll it into the shop

 

Are those manual mirrors?

 

Yep... Time to do more switching from people

 

Ball joint snapped car turned crazily into a curb which then my car jumped and bounced off a light pole. I hope my suspension is still ok

 

You have a PM.

 

Damn that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that and see that. Is the frame damaged or did the door take most of the shock and leave the frame and A-pillar in good shape?

 

Well from what I see so far is the car door took the blunt of the damage. I'll post pics up when I get back in the shop.

 

what kind of a ball joint was that?

 

Believe it was durlex or however you spell it. Ill try find the box

 

That sucks man! It looks really bad from the pics. Hope you fix it though, why are you selling your other shell? I saw it on craigslist
