Finalizing my car here and I'm ordering some of the parts that you had suggested.



If you look back at your previous post you mentioned that your buddy said I would need the -3 to 10mm with 24 thread pitch. I'm a lil confused on the 24 thread pitch. I could only find two -3 to 10mm adaptors. One is 1.0 thread and the other is 1.25. These are for the brake calipers and the lines at the booster.



I'm thinking it's the 1.25 but could you or someone confirm either way? I have a thread gauge and I am going to see if I can get the answer tomorrow myself but if you see this any input would be great.



Thanks.

I answered my own question today. It's 10mmx 1.00 if anyone needs to know in the future.

Oh believe me I will. Once I get it all wrapped up and running again I'll be whoring pics etc here. I really appreciate your insight on the brake lines.



Have a great weekend!

Man I love the lights. Did the PIAA's come separately from the new housing or is that a kit? Also how much did you end up dishing out for the light setup?

It all came as a kit. Its from R-magic, and for the HID kit its about $1500.



everything you see here comes with the kit.

The instructions have you mount the power box onto the car for some reason. There is plenty of room on the light brace, so I drilled some holes and mounted them onto it.

Oh.. I also got the Volk RE30s on the car.. had a slight problem with offsets. My buddy that messured what offset I needed didnt tell me that he messured for a 9J rim on the fronts and not a 9.5J. so Im having to get smaller tires in the front so I do rubb the fenders. And the rears.. again, fucked up and went in the wrong direction a few mm. nothing a spacer wont fix though..



Volk RE30 9.5JX18 +35 front + 28 rear w/ ADVAN Neova AD07 265/35R18 all around.. having to go down to 235/40R18 on the front though.
