Hi Stacey!

Looks clean. Envious of rear quarter panels being intact. What are your plans?

Me gusta! Any suspension upgrades?

Personally I like the stock height on these things (and 99% of cars, for that matter). I think it is suiting, for a sedan.

i want to lower her just abit. i dont want to dump her though. i dont want attention from cops.

parts list i need to start the build: (any sponsers would be great)
-full suspension
-transmission with lsd
-stage 2 cams

as of right now the d15b7 that came with the car has a blown head gasket so i am taking the saturday to get her running and smogged this week so i can register her.
