Thanks man... I got some good stuff planned for the future.

For the DD, I have skunk2 coilovers on Tokico illumina struts. Megan racing LCA's, front and rear lower tie bars and will soon have my SRR rear brace/sway bar back on since it doesnt seem to be selling. If I had some better wheels/tires, it would handle pretty good, but its on stock wheels right now... Sidewall flex FTL! But yeah, drives good and looks decent for a little DD. I drive about 100 miles a day, and I love it.

Thanks everybody!

And Grim, I have been thinking about it ever since I pulled the car out of the garage. I will probably pick up some new moldings from the junk yard this weekend along with a few other things.

How much shipped the the east coast though?

I am thinking about getting JDM thin side moldings while I am at it. I cant decide, but I want to order window visors too, so this might just be another reason for me to do so. Let me know though.

If your going to get some window visors, might as well get some thin side moldings while your at it.

Yeah man, that is kind of what I am thinking, but I am getting a motor soon and want to chill a little bit on spending money for stuff I dont need. Its a hard decision. And something that I will probably get, just a matter of time. And shipping sucks to the East Coast

Thanks man. Its base/clear coat. My buddy works at smyth and hooked it up on the paint and supplies. I will probably do single stage on the engine bay when it gets pulled though.

I traded my wheel for another Momo Monte Carlo last night, but I got a 350mm instead. The 320mm was just a little too small to be comfortable for me.

Thanks man! As far as the suspension, its hard to tell because I have not had the time nor is the car complete yet, so I have not actually been able to beat on it. I have driven it maybe 100 miles so far, and it feels pretty good, but I think thats a combination between my whole set up. I will see how it feels when I am able to finally rip on it!

hey man great build thread. What exactly did you have to do to get that cup holde to go in? What exactly did you have to modify? the cup holder or the slot?


Another look at the cup holder/coin trey and the audio console
