how's the new carpet fit?

Butters944

Not perfect, considering I got it used (somebody got it, started cutting the holes for pedals and park brake, and gave up on it, because the holes weren't in the exact right spots). There are a lot of minor imperfections in the cutting I did as well, but people who ride in the car don't notice. Doing that carpet was probably the hardest thing I've done to the car.

Hung out at the car show in town with Kyle (kab997)...

What has Kyle's 951 gone through in its lifetime???

Butters944

It's a late N/A car with a 951 front clip. haha

I love the look of the turbo front ends but mostly everyone has that, I want something different, which is why im trying out the CGT front end from GT Racing. Having a hard time fitting it with the stock bumper shocks but It will fit eventually! The most questionable bumper I have seen is the Fiberwerks EVO front bumper.....I dont know if it works right with the car?

Butters944

I personally like the evo kit, though I prefer to keep mine ASAP (as stock as possible)

Jacked her up in the garage for this week. Will drive my bro's SHO to school, thank god he doesn't have it at college with him. Began my paragon coilover kit install by removing my drivers side mcpherson strut. It's all i had time to do today.

removing the strut:


one of the strut nuts was such a bitch that it broke my 3/4" socket!

Butters944

Don't worry. It was 3/4" on the nut side just using a breaker bar and the strength of a 16 yo boy LOL. my 19mm socket was too deep to clear.

This is my first time doing suspension work. It'll be a good experience for me

Are you upgrading the shocks as well?

Butters944

If you meant to say struts, I'm just going to get new KYBs or Monroes. Anybody know which is better?
