I was scrolling through facebook car groups when I came across these beauties.
These are sideskirt splitters from Top1 Motors. I didn't even know these existed until 2 days ago lol. These retail at $160 new and my pair came with a set of oem sideskirts from a coupe for $100.
I don't have any pictures of the install because it was super frustrating and then I found out I was doing it all wrong lol.
p.s. I thought these pictures turned out nicely and they didn't, so be warned lol
I'll get better pictures later on.
So that's all I have for now, but stay tuned because more updates are definitely coming.

Here are the test fit pictures for those 15x9 xxr's
Taco Bell gift card for scale
Since the motor lift kit raised the engine upwards 1", it also raised the angle of the drive axles. But that caused a problem.
the drive axles were rubbing the frame, so it needed to be notched.
My dad lending a hand
making the first cuts
first slices
so we ended up with this:
Driver side
Passenger side
they're not the best notches in the world, but they will do.
I ended up trading those Black XXR's to my buddy for these gold mesh wheels.
here's a pic of them on his miata.
they're 15x7 with +35 offset wrapped in 195/45/15. They look good and hopefully I can get some cash for them or throw them on the hatch.
The Sparco steering wheel that I bought yesterday has already sold on eBay for $85, so thats dope.
That's all I have for now guys, but be sure to keep an eye on this thread!

Shortly after that, I picked up these other XXR 002's for $200. They're 15x9 with a 0 offset. They looked great and had a ton of lip.
They needed some work but looked pretty great. However, I sold them to a buddy for $260, so thats a nice profit. Sad to see them go but the money was too good to pass up.
Next, I found this legit sparco leather P310 steering wheel for $40, even came with a momo DA integra hub. Both are currently listed on eBay. Hit me up for the link if you're interested.
So hopefully I'll be able to turn a nice profit from these. I might have some other stuff coming, so keep an eye on this thread! As always, you can follow me on Instagram @Stance_God

and I finally got around to snapping some pictures of the motor lift kit. It's worked wonders and I haven't scraped up front since I installed it!
trans mount
now I also lowered the front down about a half inch or so. Once I order my drop forks, it'll go even lower.
Clearance from ground to lip
and here's the oilpan to ground clearance. I don't have a pic of before though.
and then I'll leave you guys with these last pics ;)
Thanks for looking guys, I hope to have some more updates coming soon! stay tuned

Got this engine lift kit from EliJoe_Low on Instagram for $85 shipped. I went to S&S Exhaust and had them weld it in for $40. It's supposed to lift the engine 1" closer to the hood as well as improve the steering rack and driveshaft angles, and the results are great! Here are some pics:
Here's the kit. It comes with two new bolts for the side motor mounts as well as spacers for the rear mount. The two torque mounts on trans and power steering pully bracket need to be removed for this kit to work.
this is what the new mounts look like all welded up. Not the prettiest, but they'll do just fine. You can see how the new bolt hole is around an inch higher than the old one.
as you guys know, the rear motor mount and it has 3 bolts which attach it to the subframe. The spacers pictured above will keep it from binding when the other two mounts are raised.
Along with the spacers, I had to run out and get these new bolts which are twice as long as the stock ones so that I can still have a good amount of thread going into the subframe.
It started getting dark at this point and I got more into the work, so I forgot to take pictures. Rest assured that the kit did the job well and I no longer scrape exhaust!
But I'm still scraping the front sway bar sometimes so that's coming off next lol
A couple weeks ago I picked up this rear disc brake conversion from an integra for a whopping $20 lol. I just need to find some e-brake cables from a teg so I can swap them in.
Next items on the list are:
1) drop forks (for more strut travel + more low)
2) rear fog light
3) alignment
4) camber???
5) idk lol

Achilles Economist 165/45/15
which led to this
no more rubbing! I've never been a big fan of camber, so in the rear, the camber is only a few degrees.
So then I picked up this used Momo Monte Carlo off ebay for $95 shipped. probably not the best deal but whatever
Now, the clutch has been sticking on me in the past few weeks, causing the car to stick in gear eventually causing me to stall. not fun.
after some snooping, I found out that the cause was a blown Clutch slave cylinder. Picked a new one up at Advance Auto with a limited lifetime warranty for $18.
swapped it out within 45 minutes or so
here's the old vs. new
So that's all I have for you guys right now, I have some packages coming in the mail soon, so stay tuned!
