I always thought of those cars as a "chicks car".

Looks good I guess.

Agreed. And maybe it's just because of the IC but the whole front bumper just looks "off" (bad cutting maybe?)

Other than that, stock headlights and a different exhaust

yeah i need to get that mounted right... thanks to the previous owner's ghetto-*** install, the whole front bumper is messed up, and the intercooler's weight is mostly supported by the piping, so even at 13psi the pipe always blows off

it might be a bit heavy, but IMO most chicks would not be able to handle 17psi on a front wheel drive car with an open diff

i always wanted a GST/GSX... imo for your money i think they are the best bang for the buck. just clean up a few things: front bumper/intercooler. new wheels, get an apexi n1, and the new rear bumper. good to go

Looks good other than the crooked intercooler and the chrome headlights.

Loving the 14B upgrade. How she pull??

Should look into an Atmospheric dump O2 Housing and a Catch Can.

Nice DSM, hoping I can get my 14B done here soon.

BTW, what UICP is that?
