Default JDM EJ7 Coming Soon

Well I recently traded my Heavily modded 91 EF hatch. For a bone Stock 96 hx Coupe.
Im Leaving for the army Jan 19 and I will be back 18 weeks and 3 days later. I plan to save all my cash and drop about 5k into this thing by April. I dont want to spend all my funds as soon as I get out. But i figure it will look good with 5k into it enough to drive it threw summer and swap it by next winter.

I did the all motor thing last time. This time im thinking Clean JDM Sexiness. Ever heard of low and slow? I think thats where im heading this spring. After the car is looking tip top. Maybe k or a simple gsr swap. I dont know at this point depends how much cash i have. Probably a simple gsr with some low boost.

Current mods
Short shifter
Spoon Shift ****
Memphis Speakers

*Pics Tmr after wash and buff*

You must not have read the title. Says coming soon. Jdm parts cost lots of cash. So when i come back with 10k you will see some. But intill then ima make it look good with least amount of cash as possible.
