obdriver6's 89 coupe update

[obdriver6]

Well as of last Friday, I got my old wheels back on the car. I was getting tired of the 17" since the weren't balanced and they rubbed! I also forgot to mention that I upgraded to the rear vigor sway bar, which was somewhat of a pain to install!

[Ayeobe]

Wow man, your car looks good. i Love the sunset shots, too! I've obviously been away for too long lol.. I hope to see more pics soon.

[obdriver6]

Thanks! I'll see if I can find someone to do a photo shoot of my car, if not then I'll just take some more phone pics! lol

Monthly update!

Car has been running good so far other than the battery crapping out on me yesterday, time for a new one. Anyway, I recently fixed the dash light problem I've had ever since I bought the car, it turned out to be really simple thanks to the repair manual. I also recently installed the prelude arms to get rid of as much camber as I could. After a test drive, I realized I now need an alignment. lol I also installed the prothane end links.

Camber!


You can see where the stock control arms used to hit on the strut tower.


Old end links and new prothane!


No more camber!

That paint just looks hott.

I wanna redo all my bushings with poly mounts.

Yes it does! Once your's is finished, it will also look HAWT!

I also want to do it but after I get a proper suspension.

I forgot to say that I went to the jy a couple days ago and got a couple of good things. I finally managed to find a set of silverstar headlights and the wiring for the fog lights (too lazy to make my own lol). Also, they brought in a mint coupe. It had rear mud flaps and the rear center tail light was in mint condition which I might get. I only removed the lower part of the door panel that I've been searching for YEARS.

Silverstars and lower door panel.

Silverstar headlights? Do tell? heh.. And, nice, rear mud flaps B) dont forget to grab the "center brake light gasket" ither. I just recently put one on my car, it was so damn noisy before. Also, paint looks nuts. That color is super 80s

Yeah I been looking for these lights for some time. I've heard they are a lot brighter than the OEM ones. The only reason I got them is because I don't want to get HIDS and be blinding other driver. I'll make a comparison between the ones I have and the silverstars. I'll see if I can snatch those rear mud flap cause I know there are some people that always looking for a pair. lol I don't know if it has the gasket since my dad is the one that pulled it from the jy but I'm glad he got it cause those are had to find in good condition!

are those the sylvania or w/e spelling silverstars? they sell those at wallmart here, i was running them they are pretty bright.

the 0 camber looks good

I had them on my car when i first needed them and for some reason they never lasted me more than a few months at a time. i upgraded to autopal H4 housing and they have a even better cutoff. each silverstar was around 19.99 and my autopals were around 50 so not a bad upgrade

Me too! lol

I was thinking of getting the autopals if I couldn't find the silverstars. A while ago I did find some H4 convertion headlights but I gave them to my dad for his supra.

Nice build! Wow, that was a labor of love! Maybe I missed it, what set up u go with for lowering?

Thanks for the compliment! My temporary set up is cut springs with extended top hats. I recently added some crappy coilover sleeve up front before I went to cali for CAM. They are a bit stiffer but not enough to save my strut tower from the UCA. I know its not the best set up but I was really tired of people telling me to lower my car!
