No serious updates but lots of little ones:
- Needs an alignment with some camber dialed in. Car handles like crap on the new wheels lol. Should be getting one if my mechanic gets his software upgrade this week for his alignment machine.
- Put on a home depot lip to hide the part of the IC that is sticking out. It's more of a skirt. I don't like it but it looks better regardless. Going to track down someone who works with aluminum to make me a custom front skirt or splitter to hide it better. Anyone here???
- Started to do research on a IRS conversion. It went from something that looked doable to something I no longer want to do haha. It would almost be easier to find an AWD shell and swap over my FWD setup. The problem is the AWD model (that has IRS) has a rear K frame that bolts to the floors, but the floors are radically different in the AWD model. I would have to get AWD floors (which they sell) and weld them into my car. The labor on a job like that must be insane and I am not in the mood to drop a couple thousand dollars just to be able to do the conversion. I thought about having someone cut up and customize the rear K frame to make it mount to the FWD floors, but after thinking about it, the dimensions and measurements would be off for the rest of the IRS components. Welding in new floors or getting an AWD shell are my only options if I really want to do this. Suffice to say, unless some welders can give me a good price on welding in the floors, this project is dead in the water.
- Brakes should be my next purchase, though I really want the Impul single wing, but they aren't cheap. Also looking to upgrade my BC coilovers next year to either Cuscos or RS*Rs. I'll go with the RS*Rs if they eve release their camber plates, or I'll go with Cuscos if they can build me a set of customs with dampening adjustments for the front.
A lot of the really nice body mod option for Jukes have to be imported from Japan sadly. Wings, rear and front lower fascias, and even a set of Fender flares.
