This is my old Y33, at the time sitting on Insurance coilovers, got it with Weds but then switched to eurolines

well that was my old Q, I miss it alot! Here's my new platform, I bought this silver on black 99 Q45 since September and have been collecting parts, just haven't had time to install everything lol! I have mainly been doing maintenance stuff but I'll keep you updated as I go on with the project, so far I have UAS waiting to be installed with Bold World camber plates (thanks Grant!) and other goodies! I'll update as I go, let me know what you think!

Slammed on rims with no kit looks better to be then not so low with a kit and rims

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;290111]Slammed on rims with no kit looks better to be then not so low with a kit and rims[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=beachbum-1;295557]which rucas are those?[/QUOTE]
 
they are no-name brand, buddy of mine gave them to me

Damn, and you trust that on the Q. This car weighs way more than an S chassis, IIRC twice as much as an S13.

You doing S13 conversion too???

 my friend had the same kind on his Y33, never gave a problem, but it's true a Y33 weighs like 1000 lb more than an s13, when I put my UAS in and fit my rims I'll see if I need them. I'm doing the S13/S14 conversion becaue it's more logical for me, I already had the parts lying around and I want to eventually switch from the UAS over Tokico/KYB to UAS over S13 coilovers. Can you do me a favor and measure the od on your PBM coils? I had some on my S13 and might pick up another set for the Q, just want to make sure my bags will slide over

Nice !! the black one was looking good . 


and the new one has a great body for mods and I see you have all the parts already !

1000?? My Q's got 2K lbs on my hatch, base model, no power nothing.

+1 for the S13/14 conversion. Best mod I ever did, and on bags, you'll get the most out of it.
OD on the my Max coils is 167mm

Y33 is around 3,800-3,900 lbs, S13 base like 2,600 and SE like 2,700, S14 is like 2,800. 
 
 
By O.D. I mean outer diameter on the shock of the PBM coil, the threaded portion, because the bag has to slide over it and the max diameter on UAS bag can go over is 2.14 in

I know what you meant by OD, but I guess i shoulda put outer circumference I forget the math for figuring that out.

the GVWR is not the actual weight of the car

Hahaha cool :biggthumpup: I learned something new today, thanks
Did that OC measurement help ya at all? 
They smaller than the OC on your Tokico's??

 Well I gotta do the math to find out lol! You say the circumference of the PBM is 167mm?

Correct
But I figured you could measure up your OC and find out if they'd work, based off your shock size :shrug:

[QUOTE=Brokey33;295601]Correct

they should work! I did the math and it comes out to around 2.09" Thanks for the help! By the way did you measure the circumference on them or where you get the number?

Measured it. 
Jacked my lady's tape measure, that's used for clothes and stuff hahaha sshhhh

that's what's up!

Sweet, that is gonna be a dope looking Q soon.
 Only thing I dont like about going s13/14 is loosing traction control and also abs, right?

not at all sir! I have abs S14 hubs so it will still have abs and tcs, the only drawback is not being able to use the swaybar but I will be making custom end links to be able to run it

So umm..when is this gonna be done and when are all the q45s from the bay area gonna meet up? :)

I think we should do a vip meet at quickly in milpitas after wekfest or something.

Damn goodluck with it. and its a pretty sexy shell !!!

nice!

your build is coming out good! .

thanks guys, more updates coming soon, gonna pick up the rear struts tomorrow and take more pics

more pics! I pretty much have everything I need to install the suspension, picked up the modified struts yesterday from fbiphil (thanks Phil). I'm doing the S chassis swap with UAS, and down the line upgrading the struts to full S13 coilovers, here is the list of what will consist of
 
- front S14 lower control arms, S14 spindles with abs hubs
- Megan Racing inner/outer tie rods
- ebay S14 tension rods
- Bold World Y33 camber plates/ rear upper mounts (thanks Grant)
- S14 Tokico struts F, S13 KYB struts R
- Nismo 50mm wheel studs
 
and for the air
 
- 2 Viair 380c compressors
- 2 3 gal aluminum tanks
- UAS Aero Sports
- 1/2'' valves and line
- EAI 7 switch box
 
I'm still debating as to where to mount the tanks and compressors, what do you guys think, either in the spare tire well or up at top, but then I have less trunk sace. I think I'll mount the valves outside the car underneath, just want some ideas and for those with UAS to chime in

Lookin good. I would mount the two tanks next to one another and mount the valves in between all of it in the spare tire well. Thats what Van did on his Q.

so does the Y33 ABS just bolt up to the S14 ABS hub or do you got to modify a lil bit? cant wait to see everything bolted up!!:biggthumpup:

dam i need to start saving up haha.... income tax aint gonna cut it this year lol

oh yeah my roller came in... it was a bit to do a camber ass civic yesterday haha, foo was runing -6 camber and the suspension was hell short... had to hammer some part of it haaha

 haha yup I read somewhere that it is hard to roll super low cars, we need to roll my fenders soon

yup keep it stock first.... then roll it, 10x easier.... ive done like 15 cars in the past month n all them was dumped hondas but the worse was yesterday, that civic was no joke haha

looks good, just curious but why did you opt to go with struts rather than coilovers?

^^^^ I'm going coilovers in the future, I already had the struts when I bought my UAS so why not use them, plus I've waited so long I just want to put everything on now

[QUOTE=GS300ToM;296953]oh yeah my roller came in... it was a bit to do a camber ass civic yesterday haha, foo was runing -6 camber and the suspension was hell short... had to hammer some part of it haaha[/QUOTE]
 
...nothing wrong with getting down on it while its warm w/ a mallet man. Duwerk. How'd it come out?

how s the build coming along?
any updates?

it's going alright lol, some complications here and there. I already did the S chassis conversion up front and right now I'm installing the air, 90% complete with that, just have to wire up the switchbox and one of the welds on one of my tanks is leaking, gotta take it to my friend to weld it up, I've been taking pics just need to upload them, after that I will be rolling the fenders and fitting my wheels, I'll post pics soon!

finally done installing my UAS! Just gotta clean everything up and fix all the little details
 
here's the S14 lca, abs spindles and hubs, and S13 megan inner/outer tie rods and t/c rods

should use s13 LCAs

[QUOTE=golfkid777;301049]First y33 I have been impressed w suspension wise in a while!![/QUOTE]
That's sayin a lot

s13 lca's are shorter than s14 and have a different taper on the ball joint, it would make the track narrower

Hotness... im excited for wheels

That's what I'm sayin, S13 LCA's are FTL

are those modulars? the one dennis was selling? either way. that shit is clean. dayam. puts that 7 series in the back to shame. haha.

yup VIP Modular VR01 hehe, but I've had these in my garage for awhile lol, they are not the same ones Dennis is selling. Lol at the 7 series, that's my bos's car

haha. i bet he's like fccccck. i had a 7 do that to me today too. he rolled up after he walked outta blockbuster kept staring at my car stuck on dumb. but dayam. i'd be stuck on dumb rollin next to you too. FML i need new rims. you on 20s?

yup 20s haha it's true what you say, people break necks when I'm driving. My boss and his brother are loving the car

so fresh and so clean!!

Oh yeah!!

So is that your ride height or slammed? Sometimes 20s look too big but then sometimes 19s look too small. I have to see 20s in person. :pat: in this case, as stated before, this shit is clean.

Slammed

[QUOTE=VI IX;302439]So is that your ride height or slammed? Sometimes 20s look too big but then sometimes 19s look too small. I have to see 20s in person. :pat: in this case, as stated before, this shit is clean.[/QUOTE]
 
that's pretty much slammed, I mean it's not 0 psi but the front has no more room to go lower cause it is sitting on the tires, with stocks i could lay the cats on the ground though. I had the same dilemma about the rims, sometimes 20's look too big, and sometimes 19's waaay too small, but after I put them on I love the look plus when I get a kit it will balance out, and 20'' tires are cheaper and easier to come by around here lol.

haha i swear ima drive up just to check out the size difference side by side.

I might drive down to Escondido pretty soon, are you coming up to Wekfest?

Negative on wekfest. Don't have the loose change right now to be funding a trip that far from home. Lmk If u do roll down

the 20s look proper!! WOW!

i like it alottttt

looks good homie, fitment is nice

The wheels set it off!  Can't wait to see it in person!  Congrats on getting it all together - how do you like the ride with the bags/wheels?  Getting used to it?

Nice setup on your ride, can't wait to see more. Props.

Sick.  Atleast you got a 99+.  The side skirts and rear bumper are painted so you can get away with not getting a kit for a bit lol

Super clean!

Looks real good:biggthumpup:

thanks guys!

Skip the curtains and save sav for the kit. Get little stuff after you get the stuff.
