Can't wait to see it done! I remember when you posted pics of your car on the Genesis rims years ago lol. You've come a long way since then!

thanks bro, cant believe you parted your car. What are you moving on to next? With work and taking care of my 3 month old son, i have a couple hours a day to work on the car during the week and the other half hogs the weekends with family stuff. I am trying to get the car rolling by this weekend. Need to finish the wiring on my valves and wire up my grounds/power, then paint my calipers and bolt up the wheels.


In the mean time, this is my son, the little man who's been taking up most of my time. His name is Bentley-Blaize

I got some time to work on the whip this weekend while watching my son, that was fun. Put him to sleep, work on the car, he gets up so i feed him, we played then put him back to sleep, then work on the car again. That happened all day, lol

but enough of that.... heres what I was able to get done, sorry for the crappy pics

Wired up the E-level and did pressure test...I have a few leaks so I need to find the culprits


Finished up the brakes and re-installed, need me some Lexus decals to complete it.



Finally installed my FUCA's, found issue with its design for bagged/slammed folks who run this. squared end corner hits the fender-well when full slammed and I lost about an inch of tuckage. will need to either notch the fender-well or pickup some 30mm Sage RCA's to compensate the loss



Here's a pic of the setup completed. Arm installed and camber adjusted, wheels on just waiting to complete the rear link adjustment so I can drop the car.

Went out for a test run again today. It feels great to drive her again! need to work on the front though, more camber and hammer out the frame to allow the FUCA's to clear

Re-Adjusted camber up front and took a peek at what is stopping me from full slammage...Hoping to tackle it this weekend then get my alignment next week.

Finally went HAM on my fenders yesterday with help from a friend and got the front end to sit lower, not quite where I want to be but definitely closer. Sorry for the crappy first picture.

Hows your arm feeling after all the hammering? haha looks much better being bagged down lower now I think if i can get it to sit that low with the arms I'll be happy enough, but i guess "do it once, do it right" applies here, we'll see!

Arms are a little jiggly, if you have acces to an air hammer I highly recommend it. Each side took about 20 minutes. I mounted the wheel and jacked up the LCA to check clearance before dropping the car. Let me know how yours goes
