Conrad's DD- Retrofits, Bullitts, Lowered

LS1GTP

LS1GTP

It's Slow
Hi all, I just wanted to share some pictures of my car since I haven't yet. Bought the car bone stock with the exception of the grills, which I'm keeping. I have new KYB struts going on the car soon, it's possible that I'll lower it also...

Since this is my daily driver, it's not really going to see any performance mods. Here's what's done:

Maintenance (always comes first)
Debadged trunk
Dual exhaust tips
Tinted tail lights
Rear letter inlays
17" Bullitt wheels
20% tint
Retrofit projectors with HIDs
DRL delete
Painted calipers
SHINY Grills
Aftermarket radio, 12" pioneer sub
Also have a 3" catless DP and cone filter, but that's it for mods

Re: My car is done (PICS)

Tires are 245s, they're definitely different...I'd probably have to roll my quarters if I lowered it.

No mods really, just have a 3" catless downpipe and cone filter. It's a DD.
 
Re: My car is done (PICS)

I replaced the plugs (all maintenance was done first). Custom tune is going to be soon. Not going to drop pulley sizes because I want my trans to last.
 


Re: My car is done (PICS)

I know these transmissions get a well deserved bad rep, but on a well taken care of DD with maybe a seasonal track session, these transmissions should last until you're posting 13 sec 1/4 miles....knock on wood....and a 3.6 won't come anywhere near it's limitations....but hey I personally have the mod bug, sorry if it comes off a bit too contagious.....:th_jester:
 
Re: My car is done (PICS)

I have no reason to track my DD since I have a toy for those sort of shenanigans. I just don't want to bother with a pulley drop, for me there's no reason for it.

I always think: money saved from the GP is money that can go into the toy.
 
Re: My car is done (PICS)

Looks great!

What are the tire sizes? I'm on 245 45 17s and yours are a lot more meaty than mine
 
Re: My car is done (PICS)

Retros look good good good!!
I like the color of those Bullits with the black.

Mine are the same size. Maybe the offset is different. I've noticed the speedo is off a little, the tires really should be 245 50 17 to match factory.

Thanks! Just painted them yesterday. I really like how they turned out. They were black before- I didn't like it.

Such a beautiful ride, really like the retros and the rims, a nice little drop would set the whole thing off.

Yeah, lowering might happen, depending on what I'm quoted to get my old struts disassembled. I need to use the old springs, and I don't have an impact.
 
Re: My car is done (PICS)

Wait is this you Conrad? It's Zach who came out there to look at it with my brother! It looks good!!
 
Re: Conrad's slowkar DD

Hahaha yes I remember you! Thanks man, see what you could have had? :th_nanana:

Remember that clunking when you test drove it? It was a tie rod.
 
Re: Conrad's slowkar DD

Well that was after the work you put into it, but definitely looks a lot better now. My brother is happy with the car he got and I'm sure we will run into each other out at Woodward because I will be out there with Brandon. You going to retro a set for Adam now? Lol or even my brother? :p
 
Re: Conrad's slowkar DD

I do have a second set of retros, the projectors are crooked in the housings and are sealed up, but they still give good output. Someone wants them but if he backs out and your brother wants a cheap set, let me know.

I'll be out on woodward every friday night when the weather gets warmer. Around Auto Europe and Potbelly's.
 


Re: Conrad's slowkar DD

Oh heck yeah let me know. If you check out my thread, I got a set myself but for a great deal! Shoot me a text when you go out and about the headlights if you still have them! Thanks
 
Re: Conrad's slowkar DD

Haha there's no way I'd give up the halos for retros lol I'm done sticking money into my car too just tint and a few suspension things left to change then I gotta save money for the toy
