Knuckles, T Demand RCA's, and new ball joints got installed after months of sitting.


Test fitting


Satisfying to see it on the car.


Wash before the meet.


Finally sitting right. Contented is an understatement.



Karuma x Lowballers meet. First meet this year.

 

I bought new tranny and engine mounts, and in the process of installing at the shop, I was told the rear main seal was leaking. So I decided to have them tackle that as well while the car was up on the lift. We also had to replace a leaky power steering fluid reservoir and hose since it broke in the process (hose was dry and couldn't handle the angle the engine was in). The old mounts were severely torn up and I'm glad I got it done. Along with the brand new lower ball joints I installed weeks back, it feels like a brand new car. There is absolutely zero vibrations in the cabin. Even with the AC off, the steering wheel no longer vibrates. With the radio and AC off, it's hard to tell the car is even on. Well worth the money and unexpected troubles.


Quick snap right after getting her back.

 

Just got these neck pillows (not a mod, but it is an addition). I'm still waiting for my rear lower arms to come in to really dial in my alignment. The rest are pics I've taken from the past month.


Neck pillows all round even though no one sits back there lol *shrug*


I had to take her out on 430 day.


Only a few 430's at this meet...


First gas station pic with the wheels on.




Had to leave it out due to work in the garage. Much better view outside than stored away.

 

thats pretty damn low~!

 

one of my favorite builds on here - clean, simple, quality parts. Big inspo!

 

Here's everything I've done to my build since my last post, even the small stuff. Enjoy!!!


Brand new key I've been saving for years lol

Figs Engineering dilemma

I ordered these RUCA from Figs, long story short they made it too long and my car wouldn't tuck unless we put -8 camber, Which is too much. I was aiming for -4. I specifically ordered same length as stock with adjustability either way. We were going back and forth for a long time, they didn't want to make me new ones and it took a lot of messaging to return it, will update on whether they give me a full refund.


I ended up having my mechanic put my stock arms back on. It was such a waste of time and money, not just for me, but for my mechanic as well. Figs made me go back a second time to rotate the arms and remove the washer, it made no difference. Basically I went to the shop 3 times only to have my stock arms back on, and got nowhere. Lower links are decent. Overall experience: 0 stars.

Ordered custom fit floormats from eBay

Someone said it looked like diamond stitiching, it's not, it's this rubber composite. I like this one because it covered the dead pedal.

And the middle rear middle section. The fitment is unreal.

Sourced Parts for UL curtains

Door card came in


Garnish with hooks


Quarter shade


Always wanted this...



I also replaced all 4 door speakers (not pictured)

I have black door cards with leather handle (CL spec without sunshade) for sale. Please DM if interested

 

About how long was the process to do all four doors? What speakers did you go with? Stock wiring or do you have them wired to an aftermarket amp? Curious about changing mine

 

Really easy. Just take your time.

 

And to follow up, I went with OEM ML speakers, Plug and play on OEM amp.

 

Love the detail, curtains and little maintenance jobs you;ve done to the car!

Keep it up

 

Thanks Yann, Congrats on the kit!

 

It's been 2 years since my Airlift install, and only now have I gotten around to trim fitting my cargo mat.


Measure twice cut once.


Added a small second notch on the left side for the compressor harness (not pictured)


My trunk looks complete again, specially with the cargo net installed.

 

Could you provide more details about the Celsior exhaust tips? Price and where you got them from? Also what part was that you replaced by the steering column?

 

Hi, so the tips I got from a long time ago from a buddy of mine (I believe), but I know places like Buyee will have them… the part I replaced was the steering wheel telescopic bushing. Hope this helps!

 

Quick question, since I’m having the same issue (on it seems like the same exact spot) as you once had. Did you swap out the sensor entirely for a new one and that fixed the issue?

thanks in advance.
