Hey Supercarfan howz the supercharged Tib running?

 

Well, I recently sold the tib, and traded it in on this sweet ride.

 

Lol!!!

 

was that a serious comment?

 

nice 8!

 

Thanks!

 

good job.

 

Car looks great. I have the Hiro's too and will need some lugs.. where did you purchase and about how much did you pay for the McGard "Tuner" Spline Drive Lugs ? Can you provide a link? Thanks

 

very clean

 

beautiful job and car man.... i could use some of your advice on those cost savings you got... 1500... wow!

 

Here's the breakdown on how I did it for the low cost:

Set of new Axis Hiros bought off Ebay $700
Sold my OEM Wheels for $550

*My cost for new wheels $150

Set of new Hankook Ventus K104 purchased form East Coast Tires $600
Sold my OEM tires for $250

*My cost for new tires $350

*Full Appearance Package w/ front splash guards brand new (pieced together off Ebay) $500

*Rockford Fosgate audio system brand new (pieced together off Ebay) $350
Sold a huge lot of car audio equipment for a friend and got paid $450

*Tein S Tech Springs $100

*Koni Shocks $300 off Ebay

*Greddy Exhaust off Ebay $350

*New lighting with corners, fogs, stealth bulbs, and LEDS $150

Sold every part that was taken off the car or not used $350

All labor was done by myself $0

*Various parts (lugs, caliper paint, materials, etc.) to complete job $150


So...all and all I did it for $1750.....$1500 was what I rounded it to but it came out pretty close. Basically.....buy everything as cheap as you can find it and sale everything that your taking off or not using. This forum and Ebay should be your best friends. I did this over winter and spent countless hours on Ebay shopping for the best deals on parts and selling what I didn't need. And when it times come to sale the car....I hopefully won't take too big of a loss.

 

You can buy the Mcgard spline drive lugs from Goodwin Racing as well as the hubcentric rings if you plan on using them. The rings he sales are the perfect size for the Hiros.

 

Looks great, and that's a hell of a nice job on the budget. Feels good I'll bet.
