Anyone got pictures of what a 1.4 inch drop looks like? 2 inch drop? or any other drop you've done to your cavi? I want to see which ones look the best.... and go from there.

the 2 inch looks better, but the 1.4 is where optimum performance is

thanks... they look about the same with drop. i think cause the Z is a little bit lower to begin with. so depending on the model of the Cav i would say a Z go with 1.4 front and 1.7 rear, and a base model go with 2" all around. which is like 2.4" in rear and like 1.8" in front somthing like that.

Your interior looks damn good man. If only I had the time and skill I'd paint mine like that in blue and white.

thanks man it accually wasnt that bad to paint we spent about 60 bucks on paint and clear and stuff to prep and well took everything out and went to town and i think it came out pretty sweet the door panels need to be redone but that is the hard part... taping off everything.

Yeah. I'm just afraid to take the whole dash out like you did. Number one I already know I'm going to have some screws left over that I have no clue where they go lol and number two I'm afraid to mess with my air bag. Doesn't matter though. Hopefully I'll either be a city cop or sherriffs deputy in a month or so when I get back from Germany and I'm getting rid of the cavy.

You really dont have to mess with the airbag when you take the dash off.

Yeah, j, the int. looks hot man. As for the way your car looks now its your car. You like it so fuck everyone else. They dont have to drive it after all. :lol:
I want to start doing some stuff with my int. but got damn racing seats are expensive as hell and frankly Im a little iffy on the whole ebay seats. Unless someone knows that they are not that bad or something. I plan on doing my whole int. red black and c/f.

I found a place that will rewrap the stock seats front and back for 479 in what they call simulated leather which is softer than vinal and looks just like leather so as people call it "pleather" but no will even know with out telling them. so i am thinking about that. and then a new carpet for 150.

Yea, for about three weeks if youre lucky, then the struts will go.

Oh mannnn Jayson that interior is sick. Are there some detailed instructions anywhere that'll teach me how to do that? How did you do the door panels and such? Was that cloth part already black or did you do that too, and what kind of paint did you use? Haha also, did you install the PS2 yourself? did it hook right up to the Jensen dvd?
jayson716

Well on the door panels you just have to take your time taping everything off then paint and let dry then tape off everthing else and paint whatever you want just tape off what you alread painted and yes the black cloth is stock on the car matches the seats. but just prep work is the hardest and then we used Krylon fusion to paint. and yes the Ps2 hooks right into the tv it has two inputs for Av. and then i had to wire in the power inverter and plug it in.

Yeah, you really dont have to mess with the airbag you'll see it but you won't have to mess with it on my 05 cavy I had to take the top part of my dash off and there was no problems. Hey customACE where are you in Germany because I'm stationed here close to Frankfurt, I had a add on to our RK sport conversation when ever you get the chance please check it out or anyone who sees this.
