I just installed my Koni Yellow/GC setup last weekend and I had to raise it up a little to gain some extra suspension travel, so it is currently 1" lower than stock. It used to be 1.75"F, 1.5"R, so this is a good change.

I decided to wash it, use rubbing compound to get out some surface scratches and marks, and then wax. I took some pics, but I have yet to pull the wheels off and use an aluminum polish on them to shine them right up. I will take some more pics to update.

Nice sleeper!

 

aluminum polish isnt meant for wheels like that. they are factory clearcoated. A good cleaner and standard paint polish will work fine.

 

What rate GC's did you get?

Thanks for the advice. Is there anything you would recommend in particular?

Nice slee........

 

Thanks guys. The only major thing that I want to change is the muffler. I have a magnaflow 2.5" oval muffler sitting in my garage, but it will not fit on the piping since the Evo muffler is 2" shorter.

I guess a kteller 3" with a oval muffler is in my future.

Thanks. Had a spare one lying around, so I decided to get it powdercoated by someone I know. Cost me $20 plus an old turbo timer.

Power numbers in sig. Over 180 ft/lbs of torque at 4000 rpms makes it a fun daily driver street car.

 

Oh, BTW, I just cleaned the wheels off and waxed them. They look better but not enough to take more pics.

the screaming type S kinda hurts the sleeper image, but nice work hiding the IC.

Yeah. Hearing it and seeing it are two different things. It doesn't sound stock, but it sure looks like it.
