Toys, toys and toys... it's Christmas in April!!

Just got my goodies... and have to recommend a couple of vendors to you all!! Nopi... at nopionline.com Was the bomb about the Kaminari kit. They shipped me the front fascia total cost of 377!!! Shipped to my door, Georgia to Wisconsin. Got it in 2 days, ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived on Thursday.

Also got my Eibach Pro-kit from Shox.com they were super cool, and cheaper by about 10 bucks than anyone. 199 for the springs, and with shipping it was 225.

Also got my new rims and tires from tires.com and they were also awesome on the phone once we discovered that you can't buy nearly a 1000 dollars with a debit card (only can do about 400 per transaction I guess). So they rerouted all that and got it fixed up super fast for me and got those out the door so that I have them now too.

Got more stuff on the way from our buddies at RRM. Looking forward to getting that early next week as well.

Last comment as I revel in my joy of all these great stuff for cars... As far as anyone ever telling you that you might break your urethane bumper... umm.. yeah... that's why mine came folded in 1/3's (see pic). Urethane is great that way... just has to get warmed up and then it will expand back to size! Since it is still cold up here I may throw it in the bathtub and call it good :-).

Have a great Easter everyone!

Peace!

Steve

 

The whole lot...

 

No springs in yet.. that's tomorrow.. but got the rims on. here is a look for you guys.. A comparison with just a rear wheel on (not a photoshop chop) and then a finished!

Enjoy!

 

Finished product with out lowering springs (on a slight hill though)

 

I threw the bumper in a hot tub of water for like 2 minutes and it unfolded to a perfect kaminari bumper. Amazing if you ask me! Can't even see where it was bent. Very cool :-)

 

my friend just bought a $2000 vaio last week, using his check card

 

lookin good man keep it up , and keep us updated on the changes and pics

 

Will definitely be taking pictures and adding things as I go along. I have to get a new jack.. my hydraulic one bit it... stupid pos. Time for a Craftsman 3 ton!!! :-)

Hoping to get the springs done and in today... then the sway bar and new front end is for the middle of the week.

Plan on documenting the sway bar install so that people have another quick and easy install manual!

Later.

Steve

 

Lookin good bro.

 

sounds like a awesome weekend. where in wisconsin? im just north of eau claire

 

Ok way off topic but...I burried my great gramma in Chetek last July, that is such a po-dunk, Beaver Cleaver, lost in time town I cant believe that anyone from there is on this forum. Lancers are everywhere!

 

Different banks and different checking services offer different maximum withdrawal limits.

Back on topic, nice wheels! And I'm glad Nopi treated ya good, they're from my old neck of the woods - had a shop locally in Athens, and a girl I went to highschool with is a Nopi Chic .

 

those wheels make the car look much smoother..thnx for the info!

 

yes airline, you hit the hammer on the head on that one. but im the only one in town with a lancer.

 

Lookin' good, Steve. Can't wait to see it all on the car.
