Another DBP "Build" thread

Little bit better shot of the fabric used... Didnt notice how dirty it was from wrestling that stupid thing into the car

[chrisVWkitch]

So I finally got the new wheels mounted up on the car...





I'm not keeping the black for very long. Should be going into powder coating with in the next month. Other then that, the car hasn't changed much. I got bored last night, and decided to do a little "spring cleaning" with the passenger side of the engine bay... Here's a before/during/after shot...



Ounce I get my intake in, and relocate my battery, I'll start cleaning up the driver side. Hopefully by summer time I can get the ball rolling on this car. I'm going to try and get these things sorted out by the end of summer...

• TT/or Schrick Cams
• Relocate the Battery
• Clean up the driver side of the engine bay
• BFI Stage 2 motor mount kit
• Get the wheels powder coated
• Auto Power 4 point roll bar
• OEM/Rep projector headlights

relocated the power steering, routed the headlight harness under the frame rail, took out the windshield washer res, and organized the mess behind the coolant bubble. When I get a UM flash, I'll remove the evap stuff, and get rid of the sai too.

Wheels look great! specs? and tire sizes?

Thanks! They're..

Since there was a cruise coming up this weekend, I was trying to get the wheels powdercoated by then. Unfortunately that isnt going to happen. So instead I decided to spray bomb them They actually turned out really freaking good



Sorry for the hipstergram poo photo quality

[chrisVWkitch]

Got the wheels finished up, and mounted today. Looks so much better then the black

[JDM-JTI]

where did you put the power steering? mind explaining step by step where you put it?

[newcreation]

So running the 8.5s in the front they dont clear the factory calipers?

[chrisVWkitch]

I put it behind the oil cooler in the fender well. All I did was bought new hosing, re-routed the two hosing that went through the PS, and bolted it to the lower oil cooler mount.

So running the 8.5s in the front they dont clear the factory calipers?

They do not clear the calipers. I have a 3mm spacer, and they barley clear.

[newcreation]

wow that sucks. My one set of wheels axis halos are 18x8.5 et35 fit without spacers and i was wanting to get the miro 111's .

[chrisVWkitch]

Just get a small spacer! You'll be fine

[chrisVWkitch]

WEnt on a cruise this weekend to the beach! This car is so comfortable to drive in, I love it Thanks to twelvizm for the picture!

[chrisVWkitch]

Finally found the time to do a rear wiper delete...



I hate my crooked ass hood...

[chrisVWkitch]

Some pictures from a local GTG







Hopefully have more happening to the R soon

[chrisVWkitch]

Thinking about trading my wheels for something new.. What do you guys think??




Hmmm

[chrisVWkitch]

Well, I haven't really been too much to the R, besides cleaning stuff up. I ended up taking the rear seat delete out, and putting the rear seats back in. I ended up trading the miros for some white grids...



Wasnt too happy on the fitment, and the white. I sold them to a friend of mine who is going to run them on a white subaru wagon! I ended up getting a set of these...



18x9.5 concave Rotiform NUE's. et25 front et10 in the rear. By far my favorite set of wheels yet on the car! Probably going to keep these for a while

[onedubdub]

any side pics with the nues?

[ParkeR32]

aw man i kinda like the white grids but i agree with him ^ i want to see some side shots of the new wheels

[DarkSideGTI]

looks good. Do you get any rubbing on the coilover body? I was able to get et25 to work on the drivers side, but not the passenger.

[chrisVWkitch]

I'll get some today!

I like grids, but for whatever reason I thought they looked weird on my car.

I have about a hair on each side of clearance! Was shocked that both sides cleared haha

[chrisVWkitch]

Finally found some time to install my Yarrowsport bar. I love the way it looks...

[MahTrek=]]

Looks great with the NUE's kitch we need more pics!

[chrisVWkitch]

Well, I haven't done much to it besides drive it lately. I got a SAI delete plate from NothingLeavesStock. Stupid SAI pump was going out anyways. I did a wire tuck on the car for a few months, decided I wanted to re do it. So I brought all the wires back into the bay . Also having a little bit of a issue with my fans not working. I turned the a/c on full to see if they would turn on... got nothing. So now im going to buy the green top radiator temp switch to see if that's the problem. Hopefully it is, as the fans are common to take a sh!t.

Some pictures of it...

[chrisVWkitch]

Still having fan issues. I got around to replacing the temp. sensor, fan switch, & fan control module. Still the fans do not turn on. After replacing everything, I decide to bring my wire loom from out of the frame rail, and put it back to stock for now.
