I usually don’t do build threads because I’m too lazy to take pics of everything and even more disorganized lol. But I need a place to whore my car so here we go

It won’t be much but bolt ons and goodies until I graduate and get a real job but I’m king of balling past my means ha. This is my daily after all so it’ll be pretty mild for now. That means no radiused fenders, $4k aero, fitted benz grills, or Ish from pimp my ride red sueding my interior

99 Q45- white on tan  
Up to around 150k miles now and loving every minute=].

the week I picked her up. A little hardbody action in this pic;)

I gotta say I enjoyed cruising a grandpa looking car and staying under the radar from cops. My cars tend to stand out lol

Then I went against my own golden rule and got wheels before suspension (was really waiting for the pbm vips to arrive in the states). 18x10, 18x12

pbms installed. shout out to Mike at CRC for welding the lower mounts to the knuckles

front not getting low enough. ended up chopping the springs… ya I know real vip lol had to do it on my college budget. When mike gets a chance Im going to have him pull the bottom mounts, chop some shit so I can spin the dampers down farther and get shorter springs/chop them more so I can get lower

test fit the shelbies

meh

got her sitting alright

again, still pretty meh

I had a shop in east greenbush put in a simple fucking axle in while I was at work and got it back with my door looking like this:

 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0350.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0350.jpg)

So they said theyd pay to fix it. meanwhile I filed a small claims suit the same day just to cover my ass just in case. I stop by the next day and the entire shop was cleared out and the landlord told me he moved to miami, big surprise

Anyway I got 5% tint and I couldnt stand the size of the front lips on the shelby wheels, so I decided to sell them. Bought these puppies off CL for cheap with new tires just to hold me over

 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0403.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0403.jpg)  
 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0397.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0397.jpg)

Was bored and since the tires on the fronts of the shelbies were the same and I had spacers to fine tune, I ran the two faced look for about a week before I sold them hehe and then I was on the hunt for new wheels

 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0416.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0416.jpg)  
 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0425.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Ollie125/DSC_0425.jpg)

That’s the boring beginning. More to come in a few

Thanks dude crazy how much the car has transformed with a few changes

took this shot last night, wish it wasnt so blurry. I threw on some chrome trim, pulled my 99 outer tails apart and removed the amber so now they match the inner 97 tails perfectly. and slapped on a Nissan badge. it’s officially not an Infiniti anymore.:lol
