Haven't really done much, just waiting for my headlights to be finished. I thought I'd post these from tonight.

Hi Andrew I was looking online and the saw blades I was looking at were a 5x120 and the sonice spec is 5x105. Where did you find saw blades with a bolt pattern of 5x105?

He is using 20mm adapters from motorsport tech. So his wheels are probably 5x120 but the adapters allow them to fit on the sonic with 5x105. I am using 19mm adapters from motorsport tech. My bbs wheels are 5x112.

Oh jeeze I even read the post that stated he was using 20mm adapters doh... Okay makes sense now thank you.

 

[AndrewGS]

Thanks, Karen. I've been pretty busy lately, unfortunately not with my li'l Turbo. When the weather cools down and if I can get rid of some of my back pain I'll be installing a few things.

I actually picked up a set of 25mm/28mm adapters so I'm going to swap them on to see if I can push the wheels out a bit more without rubbing.

You're welcome Andrew haha I answered for you. It can be my build #2

I got Trifecta tuned tonight in person by the company's tuner. I wasn't going to tune this car but so far I'm glad I got it done. Partial throttle response is soooooo much better and it feels like you can actually use the boost it makes.

No, that's a lot over on Memorial between Sabine and Houston Ave.

Will do, waiting for her to get all fixed up

I swapped out my 20mm thick adapters for 25mm front and 28mm rear. I think it's perfect now.

I noticed today that the rear tires juuuuuust rub the inside of the quarter panel now and then.

 

[AdorableKaren]

Mine rubs a lot if I have passengers or haul a lot of stuff in the back. So now I don't take passengers or haul stuff Ahaha low life. Only happens with bbs wheels, summer tires, and 19mm adapters. I have no rub issue with stock wheels, winter tires, and just ddm spacers.

Andrew, are your fenders rolled? Also, what bolt pattern are the saw blades? They look awesome!

No, I haven't rolled them. It's close but I think I'm good without it.

I ordered a set of Tuning Factory iOne front signal modules to go in my headlamps. I'm only using the signal lead because my halos will act as a running light. Brett is also going to wrap the side reflectors in chrome vinyl to give it the KDM look.

Now I've got to get a set of the iOne tail/brake modules and have a set of tail lamps retrofitted with the side markers painted Carbon Flash to match. I'm also going to try to get a set of KDM outside rearview mirrors with the signal repeaters. Those should be fun to wire up.
