Dr.Pepper (Headlights and Fog Lights Installed!!)

Re: Dr.Pepper (Filter fixing and painted engine bay)

Too add...have you seen how easily a CC module can come apart? Just one little twist and poof...the spring and everything pops out...and good luck putting it back together after it all of the guts fall out when yer drivin...cuz.
 


Re: Dr.Pepper (Filter fixing and painted engine bay)

We'll see how it does today driving. I haven't driven the car past my driveway. I didn't throw away the bracket so I might reuse it. Except not use three screws to hold the cruise control, just one or two to keep it from moving.
 
Re: Dr.Pepper (94-96 5 Spoke Polished Wheels Added) (4x4 Status)

Just picked up a set of 94-96 polished 5 spoke rims. I really wanna lower it now, just because these wheels accentuate the wheel gap and ass sag the car has. Besides, I think it's time for new springs and struts. I'm gonna need new tires for these wheels since the tires on there are not in great condition... so I might go with a wider tire, or stock tire, not sure yet. Throw me some suggestions guys!

Anyways:

I'm just worried about how well it'll do come winter time. Lowered + wider wheels might not be the best idea. We'll see though. I might compromise and put my dads old wheels on it for winter time.
 


Re: Dr.Pepper (94-96 5 Spoke Polished Wheels Added) (4x4 Status)

lowering has nothing to do with the amount of snow this car can push with the right tires. i drove through LOTS of snow.

Why have I not seen anyone put hydraulics on a GP?

Perfect for winter - jack it up and go.
 
Re: Dr.Pepper (94-96 5 Spoke Polished Wheels Added) (4x4 Status)

hydraulics would probably be less reliable and more expensive than air.

find vogtlands, because i haz a feeling ur pansy ass wont deal with the rough ride. and 245/50/16 tire will look dumb, keep it stock.
 


Re: Dr.Pepper (Race Wheels, Going to the track tonight)

So I gave my wheels and tires to my dad (the snowflakes) and I'm going to the drag strip tonight. The tires that are on the pregens are straight garbage so decided to throw on his old set off his 2005. I'll post times/video of it blowing up tonight.

Re: Dr.Pepper (Race Wheels, Going to the track tonight)

I saw race wheels and thought you got a set of ultra-lights or something and some drag radials for the track.

These look good but I am disappoint.
 
Re: Dr.Pepper (Race Wheels, Going to the track tonight)

My apologies to you good sir.

Not worth spending THAT much on wheels for my car lol
 
Re: Dr.Pepper (Race Wheels, Going to the track tonight)

You should have stayed with the bullets. They looked far better than all the others you've tried.
 


Re: Dr.Pepper (Race Wheels, Going to the track tonight)

I dunno, I like the pre-gens because they give that factory but still aggressive stance over the normal stockers. I think lower and some go faster parts would be the way to go. Nothing thrills me more than the WHAT THE F*** look on the other drivers face.
 
Re: Dr.Pepper (Race Wheels, Going to the track tonight)

I always put every set of wheels I get up for sale, but for more then I paid for them, if they sell, I make money, and move on, if they don't sell, well I stay with them. That's probably what I'll do with the Pregens.

The pregens are off for some cleaning and new tires eventually. I don't think I'm gonna lower because that's cash that's gonna go into the car that won't be returned when I sell it soon. Go fast parts = no no.. maybe if I can get the 3.4 setup custom tuned, that'd be the furthest I go.
