COBYATCH: Black Sedan Build Thread

just an update for everyone:

if you missed it, i made a photoshoot thread.

also if you missed it, i'm starting to part out ;( .

already have a deal to change my wheels, but one of the wheels chipped, so i'm having that repaired right now before we do the swap. going to get back the m3 wheels lol. at least i'll be staggered now . i'll probably just sell the coilovers then keep everything else as is. if anything, i'll sell the clears and LED interior, and maybe if someone is interested in the Dynavin, we can swap + cash. also have my old orion v2s, but i need to replace the connectors on them. still have the old bumper too lol if anyone's interested.







also had a smog checkup. i passed fine. i took a video of it though, hoping it would be just like a dyno hahahah.

Which version of Dynavin is it?

Why are you parting?

maintenance costs pretty much. we just did the cooling overhaul and CCV replacement at a shop. also reaching 120k miles. plus i realized i'm too big for this car lol. i need something bigger, maybe an suv.

Noooooooooooooooo

This did not make my day

don't be sad guys lol. i'm probably gonna keep the car for a few more months .

but anyone know of a good curb rash fixer in san jose lol

Geez you have like a hole lol

two finger gaps are all the rage yo!







jk. had to raise it because my younger sister's gonna start driving this car. i wonder what i'm getting

Hey, be nice. I have a two finger gap. It's way better than a full fist like before. Lol

ahaha it's not that bad. i'm just so used to seeing my car lower and wanting it lower that raising it and having this gap makes me sad. it's cool tho lol, definitely better than stock.

i bought them off a guy who was selling them in the FS forum. they're DEPO though. i've had experience with khoalty many times and would recommend them.

probably once i get stock wheels. i'm still tryna get rid of my CHs, but something keeps happening to them lol.

finally got to fixing that curb rash lol. it actually started chipping like what happened to my other wheel. instead of paying to get it fixed, i thought i'd try fixing it myself. i was surprised how spot on the duplicolor wheel paint was ahha.





don't worry ahha, this wasn't the finished product. i just let it dry and sanded it down because of paint runs. i'll probably take a picture of what it looks like now.
my only complaint is that you can tell it's not the powdercoat if you feel it. the powdercoat has a smooth finish while the paint has a rough feel. it's also a bit more sparkly.

also had an alignment done. if anyone was wondering, i had -2 camber all around. i probably had more when it was lower ;(

wheel techniques ftw

kawawa



had my tire rip on the freeway. i didn't feel it pop or anything, but the ride got kinda rough then before i knew it i started swerving.

Are those nankangs? If so thats pretty common now

Dang always something to your wheels did it bend them? Or hurt them in anyway?
