Planning in Austin
Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 13, 2026
A staged Austin street-vehicle build that resolves fitment and mechanical work before protection, interior and electronics, then finishes with documented road checks.
Decision
Looking for: A measured street wheel and tyre package with confirmed offsets, brake clearance, load rating, alignment and installation scope.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The forged wheel set was chosen only after a fitment measurement established the clearances and dimensions for the vehicle.
Decision
Looking for: A street-focused suspension package that accounts for the wheel setup, daily ride quality, normal load and final alignment targets.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The coilover package offered the adjustment range we needed while keeping geometry checks in the installation plan.
Decision
Looking for: Front-end paint protection with the existing finish inspected first, exact panel coverage documented and aftercare explained.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The full-front film protected the highest-wear panels without committing the entire vehicle to a colour change.
Decision
Looking for: A durable custom front-seat retrim with materials and stitching reviewed in person, while retaining the required factory seat functions.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The custom front-seat pair improved the parts of the cabin used every day without expanding into a full interior retrim.
Decision
Looking for: A factory-integrated audio upgrade with protected wiring, retained controls, measured electrical load and professional tuning.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The DSP amplifier and tuning package improved the system while keeping the factory controls and installation serviceable.
Decision
Looking for: A street-legal exhaust choice with fitment, material, cabin drone, heat and future service access reviewed before installation.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The stainless cat-back offered the sound change we wanted while keeping emissions and daily cabin comfort in the discussion.
Decision
Looking for: A build sequence that completes wheel and suspension geometry before cosmetic work, followed by alignment and a documented post-install check.
Considered
Options reviewed for this decision
Why we selected it
The post-install geometry check gave the finished build a clear mechanical sign-off after the wheel and suspension changes.
