Introduction

Hey guys! Welcome back to the channel. It's been a while since my last video, and I apologize for that. In today's video, we'll be discussing the recent upgrades I've made to my car. Over the past few weeks, I've been busy working on improving the performance and appearance of my vehicle. From upgrading the schedule to adjusting the suspension, I've done it all. So let's dive in and see the progress I've made!

Upgrading the Schedule

To enhance the performance of my car, I decided to upgrade the schedule. I purchased 14 schedules, all 16 inches in size. Although they may not be the best fit, they serve their purpose well. These schedules are perfect for burning off tires and using cheap 16-inch tires. Let's see how this upgrade has improved my driving experience.

Adding Spacers for Better Appearance

To enhance the look of my car, I recently added spacers. These spacers arrived a few days ago, and I wasted no time in installing them. The spacers have significantly improved the appearance of my car, giving it a much better stance. However, I noticed that the passenger side was lower than the driver's side, causing contact with the fender. To fix this, I need to raise the back end of the car.

Adjusting the Suspension

In order to raise the back end of the car and level it with the driver's side, I started by adjusting the passenger side coilover. The coilover itself was quite dirty, so I cleaned it using some WD-40 and a microfiber cloth. After cleaning, I loosened the coilover using a screwdriver and a hammer. This allowed me to adjust the height of the coilover to match the driver's side. Once adjusted, I tightened it to ensure it stays in place.

Trimming the Arches

One of the challenges I encountered during this car upgrade was the large amount of wet inside the arches. This caused the tires to rub against the arches and damage the fiberglass. To prevent this, I needed to trim away the excess wet and create more clearance. Trimming the arches was a time-consuming task, but it was necessary to ensure the longevity of my newly installed fiberglass arches.

Checking Clearance for the Wheels

After trimming the arches, I wanted to ensure that there was enough clearance for the wheels. I put the car down and examined how it was sitting. While there was a slight tuck on the back wheels, the clearance seemed sufficient. However, I noticed that the wheels with a larger offset were protruding more. To mitigate this, I may consider changing to smaller wheels in the future if rubbing becomes an issue.

Installing Seats

I have a love-hate relationship with installing seats in cars. It's a tedious task, but it's necessary to make the interior complete. With the passenger seat installed, my car's cabin is starting to look like a proper sports car. The bucket seats, along with the new steering wheel and status arrows, add a touch of coolness to the overall aesthetic. I couldn't be happier with how the interior is coming together.

Adding Hazmat Accessories

In a recent Facebook post, Gianni from Star Sarah mentioned that he might stop producing hazmat accessories. I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity, so I purchased some for my car. While these accessories are mainly for show and don't serve a practical purpose, they do make the interior look extra cool. Adding the hazmat accessories, along with the bucket seats and new steering wheel, has given my car a unique and edgy vibe.

Final Preparations

With most of the upgrades complete, I'm now focused on getting the car ready for the upcoming week. There are a few minor tasks left, such as installing the other mats and making sure everything is secured. Overall, I'm satisfied with the progress I've made and can't wait to hit the track again. The transformation my car has undergone in just a few weeks is truly remarkable.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed this video showcasing the upgrades I've made to my car. It's been a fulfilling journey, from upgrading the schedule to perfecting the suspension and trim. With the interior looking sharp and the performance improvements in place, I'm ready to hit the track with confidence. Stay tuned for more updates and adventures with my car!
