Default My project!

Been working on this since June. Here's a brief time line and a current shot. Excuse my photography skills!

First time doing a wire tuck!


Picked a color and painted for the first time!

Found out I didn't want my handiwork on the outside of my car and so this:

Put one of these in there..

Had this made:

No worries, have this for everyday driving

Did up another valve cover and fired her up!

As she sits..


Got a set of two piece Volk GR-Ns I'm refinishing, a couple OEM lips to try, and I'm looking for some good side skirts. Gonna finish tucking it eventually, but I want to play with some other things first, like stance, wheel fitment, etc.
Here's some updated shots since I picked up my cf hood and oem bra and started dropping it a little more. Picked up some ek side skirts and undercoated/painted all the suspension components. Skirts aren't on yet.

Thanks fellas. The car just has a stock block, semi built head with, so I'm not too worried about bolt ons. Removed resonator and K&N drop in is plenty. I'm currently looking for a 90-91 intake box and tube because mine is beat. Going to drop the $$ for new bolts and nuts soon too.

The hood is black because I'm a college student and ran out of funds. I bought the hood like that for 20 bucks, hood pins and all. Waiting for more money to either do a cf hood or painted OEM. This stuff ain't cheap!

Just going to tuck. The bay is going to need resprayed because it's not well painted and is badly orange peeled. So maybe next winter, all that will happen. This summer, assuming I get a good job after I graduate (for which I'm interviewing currently), is an OEM rebuild with some Type R pistons, cams, etc. and all kinds of suspension goodies.
