Well here is a pic of my car a week after I bought it. This was sometime in late 99. Notice the bad quality of the pics. lol. Tire tucking with my Skunkworks coilover sleeve set up y0!


Here is my car 4 years later...


Not much has changed. The wheels grew an inch and the motor has an extra cam and it gained .3L of displacement. Also finally got way better suspension (TEIN HA's) and more stopping power from the 96-97 JDM R brake conversion, SS lines and 15/16 master cylinder.


And here is more updated pics of my car with new rubbers(Dunlop FM901's)









Here is my latest mod.... CTR exhaust manifold with a 2.5 collector, 2.5 mandrel bent piping(Thanks Ken@Benen!!!), to a 2.5 ES oval...
(lol... look at my white dot)



look the piping tucks inthere pretty good. no scraping on speed bumps!


Thanks to we-todd-did-racing, B18C5-EH2 for letting me post this here(move it to the appearance forum in a day or two if you want), and to all the people that have helped me... Fowlery0!, RoaringTurtle, Katman, AWD18T, Ken@Benen, TonyxCom, Newman, Bayside Transmissions and all the other guys that answered my stupid questions... Thanks!

thanks! the wheels were spray painted with 1200 degree high heat paint and it has held up well.

was gonna powder coat them but it isn't worth doing it to a 6 inch wide oem wheel. I basically got tired of cleaning white wheels.

thanks for the kind comments guys...

MY ES oval is loud because I am running a very very short resonator and no cat. Can't expect it to be quiet because it is a straight through muffler.
