I like how the bumper and lip is panning out.

do you have dtrl's or city lights wired in your headlights?

[Kitty]

its canada it has to have drls.

[Beerizfood]

oil pressure is alittle high there

also to knit pick your engine bay I would try to route the return fuel line under the fuel rail. Looks busy running over the top of it.

Hahahaha i was wondering if anyone would notice the oil pressure and guess who did? Actually i havent installed the oil pressure sender yet cause im gonna connect it into the turbo oil line when i get to that point.
Im shocked you didnt say something like wow high oil pressure yet no fuel
pressure or ....nice emblem on the grill

Serious though, i need a proper 180 degree AN6 to fix that line on the rail.
That also will come after the turbo install.

The car has DRL but i might run the fogs instead once connected .
Im well pleased with the bumper and will go ahead with paint for it.

Thanks!Ride height might be a little high for some, but like i said earlier i dont want scrub.I will do some performance comparisons with various shock settings to see what impact they have and post some updates regarding that.
Gonna line it up first at work next week then play a little.
I still have to install the MMS rear sway bar which will obviously change the back end responce.
Again thanks for your support through this thread,the positive reinforcement has had a definite impact on getting this done.

Ride height is really high for me

I can 100% guarantee you won't scrub going lower.

How's your roll center though? I know I'm lower than optimal, but just looking at it are you above it?

I couldn't make out the other gauge honestly.

I say go ahead and replace the oil sender now. The one I had had 2 ports for for the stock idiot light and one for the gauge. It'd take all of 5 mins during and oil change and would make you less of a ricer running around with non working gauges

Ok Matt i will,right after i do the rear sway bar,it wont be that difficult because i have allready wired the pillar out to the engine bay.
LOL at < ricer.I need to fix those "gills" on the fenders next.
On a less ricier note that fuel gauge is real handy with the adjustable
regulator.You should see the wideband react when i raise or lower the pressure.

Green car, red bay ftw! Looks good.

LOL the poor thing wuz painted 3 times before i got it.
Base color is the underhood red.Then there is purple which you cant see,and the green.
I might get it painted again.

Im gonna start with this height and work down untill i get mild scrubbing.
How do you compare roll center?

[firelizard]

apparently, the ideal control arm angle is perfectly horizontal. Higher or lower apparently increases body roll or something through some suspension geometry that I don't understand fully. The basic idea though is that you want your control arms parallel to the ground.

You'll get scrubbing on hard turns, or with 4 passengers once you're tucking a little tire, in my experience. So a touch above that is likely the more practical. At my ride height, if I were running regular offset wheels I wouldn't scrub at all.

The control arm appears to be relatively flat .i will measure it when its on the rack.
4 passengers in a z5? We might as well push it.
I like the drop you have ,its insane.How much shock travel do you have in the front?

Jeez, this thread died hardcore.
