Imperial Member's Progress Thread...

I figured the only way to keep up with our crew's progress is to make a thread ... Post up what you have been doing with words and even pics ... Lets get this started...

My progress:

- Canibeat shoot coming soon as soon as this weather clears
- Wrong Fitment Crew Approved ( WFC #812 )
- Dialing in my camber so you arent able to fit your fingers in between my tire sidewall and fender in the rears..
- Changed my front brakes
- Painted little interior pieces flat black to match my D&G headliner and all

Well my progress for the month of may has been mainly things go wrong:

Snapped lug nut
messed up wirsing for my HIDs
Loose or Lost but going to mid-pipe.

As far as mods, still need to install cf gas door (go to marks house lol)
Fix MAF sensor and just save monies

Just got new tires friday.
FastLane is giving me a deal on Rotara brake rotors
then either new wheels or Recaro/Bride seats.

My progression:

- Trying to get rear bumper painted as well as other body pieces to match the rest of the car.

- Removed back seat last weekend.

- Hope to get roll cage painted and installed.

- May pickup rear diffuser.

- Really want wheels, but they just arent in the budget right now.

- Other than that small things that I come across or fixing things or any other mods that happen to come across my path that are cheap lol. Also trying to earn money lol.

My progress:

Little things here and there

Picked up Megan Racing exhaust, Misc flanges and what not, more piping, welder.

You know simple things. Soon will be acquiring a pipe bender.

Besides that, I've just been working a lot and going to school. Got my pharmacy license, So I am a licensed pharmacist now lol.

Can I just say my lexus out for a year and coming back different next year? lol I kind of want to be a surprise

Yes u can, but at least say like new body mods or engine work or something, I know and am pretty sure everyone else knows u will always be modding, I think this is just to verify that everyone is going to be still modding.

Tinh thIs is just to keep our members up to date .. So we know u ain't slackin! ..

I just ordered new LED gauge lights if that counts..... Im gonna be on hold for a while because money has to go else where until I start driving at UPS. So im just hoping a spot I have enough seniority for opens up in the next 6 months.

UPDATE!

-Registered for the HF show in this years Formula D!... Hope I get approved..

What gauges do u want? I have a boost gauge for sale lol.

If you need help working on cars... Jones is the man thats always down for that haha... regardless what car it is and type of work is being done

hmmm progress....Well gotta get my living situation straightened out. That'll be done through july. And then from there, well let's just say i'm gonna be able to spend alot more on my car. So then some of the near future mods will be:
-New wheels with the right stance
-led taillights red/clear/red
-chrome trunk garnish
-more junction produce stuff
-lip kit or body kit
-paint of course

and somewhere along the line i'll be getting my full stereo system put in. This is what i'll be going for:
-7 screens
-upgraded interior speakers
-2 12s'
probably only gonna run around 2000 watts, and all installed in a custom box.

That's all that came to my head right now.

Oh, alright then lol. If u go boost let me know! Or if u need another gauge pod I have one.

Here pretty soon my buddy will be upgrading to a bigger shop so he can start spraying down more cars. He was talking about a 2 stage paint job for around 1000ish

Hey Jones, does your buddy do minor bodywork too (filling dings and whatnot)? Because all i'm looking for is to repaint my car 1 color but hell if it's around 1k for a 2 stage then hmmm.

Yes he does. Just not at the moment since his shop is full of customer cars. Thats why hes upgrading within a few months

finished my headliner this last weekend!
