Thread: 2000 Daytona

Oh man I really like the sd lip makes me want one for when I paint my car silver again, I would get the stock coils back on I read a lot that they s**k but the car looks great looking forward to seeing how the car turns out good job on the car

The past two days, I've had my car ripped apart in the garage to paint and clean some things up under the hood, since we had decent weather over here the past two days. Just throwing an update out there of everything I did.

The engine bay before, missing the STB and diagonal braces.


First coat on the blower


Aaaaaand then it started hailing on the first day


My moms Audi after not ever 5 minutes


Starting to put everything back together


Everything all done


Another view of it


Also got black housings a couple days back


So much meaner looking. Love the look of black housings


More updates to come soon!

Thanks man. Read up a million times on your thread for retrofits, and that's next on my list to do with my old headlights.

Cool man, definitely let me know if you need any help with it, I've got it down after doing 2 sets LOL.

I'm sure we'll be out there this weekend!

Well guys, back on here with more stuff. Got a lot to do with my car, now it's all about finding the time to do it since I work 65> hours a week :/ Super excited to get everything done with this car, but like everything else, it takes time

I know, I know, it needs some TLC, but my Gen V came in the mail today


Time to mess around with the rear bumper a little and upgrade to the massive G8 GXP tips


And last but not least, going to start my retrofit project tomorrow since I have the day off!


I may or may not try messing with the tips tomorrow considering my rear brakes are making awful noises, so those have to come first. I'll be sure to post pictures if I do end up installing them. As for the Gen V, that won't be installed for a little while. Planning on putting in the ported heads, Gen V, and 60# injectors with bigger fuel pump all at once, so I'm gonna wait to gather the fueling parts, and then install and re-tune.

Looks like to me my friend you have one fun day ahead of you tomorrow my day is going to be to get my car to run again take lots of pictures of the progress good luck
