Those volks are on their knee's begging to be re-lipped. Like badly. Like really convincingly begging. plz.

That would require made to order parts, they dont fit any standard halves.

[Renchi_akuma]

Ey another Hawaii guy! Keep up the good work!

Yes they are! One of my all time favorites, I was stoked to finally pick up a set.

Haha, I want to relip them as well, but putting them off for a bit since I want to relip the the Viennas. I've already emailed Memoryfab about relipping, will need new hardware and new inner/outer barrels... will cost me a pretty penny so setting them aside for now, but when the time comes... I'll pull the trigger and relip

[JGABBUAT]

Ey another Hawaii guy! Keep up the good work!

Ope, Howzit! Mahalo bro! Love your corona build, keep up the good work too!

Haven't updated this in awhile but life, school, and work got in the way. Finally found some time to do a few things to the car within the week.

First off, finally got an alignment done, toe is all zero'ed out with -2 in the front, -2.5 in the rear on just BC camber plates up front and PBM lower control arms in the rear.

Second, traded my old SSR Viennas that were a little curbed and busted up for the sellers other pair of Vienna courage's that were chrome with polished lips. Ended up going for that because I couldn't stand my stock wheels, and for $300 more than the busted wheels with no tires... I could have a perfect set (just needs rechroming, and a little relipping to get my desired look and specs) to use until I decide what to relip them to. And, so with $300 in hand I traded back the busted Vienna Courages for some 18x8.5+43, +30 Chrome Vienna Courages.

Still trying to tweak ride height for a tucked/ fitted look, and need some new lugnuts, possibly some tdemand teal lugnuts that are close ended.

Without further a do, the current setup.

Not much has happened in the last month, with finals around the corner I haven't had any time to put any work into the car. However, I have the lip kit sitting on the side, new studs, spacers, and camber bolts waiting until I am free. In efforts to gain reliability (I do not have a peace of mind driving with cut studs) and also be able to alternate between my stock wheels and my other wheels. Plans of going 5x114.3, a new diffuser and some DSS axles (to solve these cars from snapping their OEM axles) are in my head.

In the time being, a friend of mine and I were at school and decided to just snag some pics at the top floor of our structure. The sun was blaring, but they came out pretty nice.

I've yet to add this onto the car as it still sits in my room
- Bride Lowmax
- Sparco seat base
- Takata Harness
- 742 Harness Bar
- Blitz Inlet Pipe

WORK CR KIWAMI by Jessie Alex Gabbuat Jr, on Flickr

I had bought work kiwamis off a friend for $600, and decided to use them as dailys. I have the intent to convert the car to 5x114.3, but for now it's on adapters. They're 17x9 +38 (+23 effective) with 215/45/17 dunlop direzzas dz102's.

I am building my SSR vienna courages right now. I sort of regret the current specs, I wish I went a tad wider (currently 18x9 with 3.5" lips, and 18x9.5" with 4" lips, wish I just went 18x10 with 4.5" lips all around).

Cheers! will update with more pics as the car gets pieced together for Spocom Hawaii 2016. Many more changes and different phases.

[JGABBUAT]

Decided to enter Spocom Hawaii 2016 with the phase 1 version of the car. It was my first car show, and was humbled by everyone's kind words. Looking forward to the next show.
