The "Spicy Saloon" MSP build thread

I don`t really dislike the color, It`s just not what I ordered. Thing is when these guys finally sent me the invoice, it said they were a different color. When I asked about it, they assured me that they were the color I ordered. It says the wrong color code right on the box..

I would have them refund you the amount it would cost to get them PC'd

That is the plan. Waiting for them to respond..

Hey look what I can do

 

[ffocused.]

Looks great. Now do it on the new wheels.

^ I've love to.

Currently waiting for new springs and shocks. Can't wait to drop her again. (nailbyt)




So for those who don't know, I decided I should own a set of Work Emotion CR-kai's. And as some know Work has discontinued the CR kai because of the CR Kiwami. While the extra concave of the ultimates is nice, I personally favor the spoke design of the CR Kai. Fortunately I ordered them just in time to have mine made, and shipped in what was presumably the very last batch of CR Kai's to come from japan. They took their sweet time, and are unfortunately not the color I ordered. But here's a peek;




17 x 9 +17 accompanied by 215/35's providing the perfect amount of stretch.







And here's a couple shots by my buddy, Kurt;





I hope this goes without saying but, I do not condone stretch+poke+donk "stance." Merely a test fit of sorts. Like I said, I am waiting for new springs, then things will start to come together.



Not diggin the bronze, or the blue valve stems, but I'll probably wait till winter to refinish them.

The swift springs are awesome. Car has never felt better. Finally got her to a semi-presentable state on Saturday. Took it too a little meet where apparently they were giving out trophies, and took home "best exterior appearance" - never thought I'd be stoked to receive a dollar store plastic trophy but it was a nice surprise after all the time I've been putting in lately.

Not completely satisfied with the way she sits. Things will continue to be adjusted. Quite happy to finally have the new setup though. Let me know what you guys think!
