Default New to the site!
Hey guys, I just picked up a 96 EX to replace my 91 Turbo MR2. The MR2 was not very reliable and I needed something cheaper to maintain and get me to school and work every day. So far it's a really nice car and I'm enjoying having AC again. I don't however, enjoy the loss of torque .

Has a stock d16y8
intake
fart can welded to stock exhast
nuespeed race springs
and 16" rota sliptreams
12 years of coke stains interior

I gotta get some better suspension for it as these neuspeed springs sucks. They are too soft and too low. Other than that I am planning on swapping some sort of b series eventually.

Anyway onto the pics!

Lol, I think they come standard. I also found out this car has never had a tune up. It had the original spark plugs, wires, and dizzy rotor and cap. It's funny how well it ran without those being changed. Last mpg was 30 with the ac on the whole time so maybe it will get even better!

Might be the shocks. Do you know the spring rates on them?

Rota's actually came with the car! It was actually one of the reasons I went to see it. The slipstreams are one of my favorite wheels.
