If it's bent, then that's another story, and are you referring to a bend in the rim or lip, or was it just not true?

 

lol dude, the guy is legit. I was there while he was inspecting them when I first got them. He put them on the balancer with no tires and no weights and spun them around. Three were gonna be easy. I saw the fourth one wobble. The rim was straight but on 3 of the 7 spokes there was a slight but obvious bend toward the inside. Not enough to want to get a new rim but enough to make it harder to balance and enough to make me wanna rock it on the right rear.

 

I think your car looks a lot better with the SI's

so you're dying everything black? what about the carpet? headliner?

 

I didn't say he wasn't, I was just curious by what you said. I used to be in the wheel/tire business.

 

That's where I'm a little mixed on my feelings. One of my coworkers has a Pontiac G6. The bottom half is black and the top half is off-white. I kinda like that. My bottom half is brown and the top half is light enough to be off white. So I'm not sure how much I'll do yet. The carpet WILL be dyed. I'll start from the bottom, work my way up, and we'll see how far up I go in black.

If I remember right, he said that he would have had to use more weights on the inside versus the little one on the outside because of how it was bent, then he would have had to balance all that with a couple on the opposite side. If I lost any one of them somehow, it would result in a really awesome wobble (of course). I wasn't paying that much attention because at that point we were on the 3rd time bleeding the brakes and he was talking through the sound of the vacuum bleeder.

 

And i assume the dash will be dyed too?

Also i think the black housings look very nice....and someone needs a sig modification

 

Yep. Dash too. And yeah, the sig is really out of date but I haven't had a photoshoot lately so I don't have any good pics to make into a new sig.

 

ARGH, if its not one thing its another...

My passenger side fog light is full of water and rust. I guess I got what I paid for. Those were like $40...

 

well just bake them apart clean it out and real it up with some silicone

 

Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man...

I stripped more of the interior out. Specifically the back seat, bolsters, etc. This let me put the Teg seats in for just a test. I am gonna have to cut more than I expected to for sure. And it's gonna require some fabrication. (And I was hoping for a quick fix.)









Holy mother of GOD, there's so much dirt and trash under there. Anyways, the test fit was next. I put the seat bottom in no problem. Direct fit, good fit. I added the side bolster panels. Decent fit, should work out alright. I added the seat back... and no go. Of course, this is a one piece back seat, not a two piece. That little brace in the above picture, all tangled in the seatbelt, is gonna have to be cut out (and saved in case this doesn't work... lol. If you look in the picture where the direct sunlight owned me, you can see the two cutouts for the locking mechanisms. You also see an indentation in the middle. That's gonna have to be cut out fully and I'll have to relocate one of the latches to retain stock functionality. And there is no hinge mechanism on the Teg seat. So I think Daniel forgot to include those. I may need to fab some replacements if he doesn't have the original ones. And I'm not sure the ones from the Civic seat will work on it because that seat was split. (Look at all that Man Sweat all over those seats! THATS HOW IT'S DONE!)...[edit] nvm on the man sweat. I deleted the REALLY awesome picture so that's like... nothing. lol. Sorry to disappoint..



So close. Time for a little snip snip. And by snip snip, I mean sawzall. So... bzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZGRIIIINDZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.......... plink.


I can either dye the seatbelts or find replacements. Maybe I'll actually hit up the dealership on this one. Damn I hate to... but... I need seatbelts.
