My EM1....Work IN PROGRESS
Never posted my ride here before. Just a couple before and after pics of my EM1 still got some stuff to do... but so far I'm happy with the progress this summer....
Sorry about the big *** pics
Before:
Bought it for 3,300 with 61,000 original miles!!!! Thank you old lady from NY! it had a slight front end collision just a bent radiator support, busted bumper and hood absolutley no frame damage it's straight as an arrow. This is how she looked right after I fixed the front end. Not a photogropher so pics are crappy I know.
After a FF type2 coils, and the uber hard to find 96-98 rear optinal lip here is how it looks...
Engine shots when i get that turbo kit sitting in the basement in! still got some work to do want to get some ctr mirrors and side markers maybe a hid retrofit but trying to get that turbo in first!

yep just waiting for my s300 to get in and that will be last thing i need for the kit...just going to run 7-8 psi for now....i have a bare gsr block sitting in my garage planning to build the hell out of that for more boost in the future but right now any boost is better than the torqless stock b16a2....

yellow fogs would go right with the cheap generic lip and ebay headlights
oem headlights(or oem ctr), oem lip, and fogless FTW

Re: My EM1....Work IN PROGRESS (D.Dappa)
thanx for the comments guys...yeah i think some ctr headlights, mirrors and side markers would make it look a whole lot better although if i do the hid retrofit i'm not going to mess up a set of oem ctr headlights thats why i might keep the cheap ebay crappers....with the fogs i love them but with the planned turbo i kinda like the look of the intercooler with no fogs looks a little cleaner to me. I love how the front of this em1 looks. hope fbp-em1 doesnt mine me using a pic of his car....
