First a look back to the day it came home about 7 months ago.



And as it sits today.

















Just finished a bunch of work, and thought it a good time to take new pictures. Most of the work has been internal/repair, lots of new toys though. The only real visible difference from the last set is obviously the wheels. 16" Royal Silver Rota Grids w/ 205/45/16 Yokohama Parada Spec-2's. A VAST improvement over the bare steel wheels I have been running for the last several months. I also finally installed one of the front lips I had laying around. Even with the extra 1.5-2" skirt the front end sits about a half inch higher then before due to all the recent weight removed from the engine bay. The fenders are going to need rolled, it rubs a little now.

Eventually i will paint the front bumper. The whole car needs paint pretty bad...doesnt show in the pics though.

 

nice grids..

people keep calling my te-37s rotas lol..

 

your grids look outta place on your car

 

Only because everyone is used to seeing the same old dark colors: Black, Bronze, Gunmetal Its just different.

I like them. Dont think I could have matched MY stile better without spending 4 times as much money.

Its a Type R replica. mad tite jdm e-bay abs yO!

 

You sir need paint.

 

looks good, needs more of a drop though

Yup not really feelin the lip but once you get everything + the moldings painted the car should look good

 

Im planning on some tein flex coilovers, should fix the stance right up.

paint...who knows when that will come...at least a few more months.

thanks for the comments. click the link in my sig for an engine bay shot.

 

not a fan of the sh0 kaaah tires but other than that

 

when tha paint gunna be slapped on???

 

I dunno about sho car tires...they stick better then the falkens did on my last car. Im sure weight plays a role though my last car was 2900lbs.

regardless the car feels like it will flip before it slides. I chose the tires because for azeni sports(which i WOULD prefer) I would have had to go with 215's. Would have raised the gearing too much for my liking. The paradas are within 3 rotations per mile of the stock size,and they stick fine. Thats enough performance for me.

 

looks aite

 

I like it better when it was stock.

 

I wouldnt know, it wasnt stock when I brought it home.

rippled hood, torn front bumper, same drop and exhuast it has now. The motor was on its last legs, still needs a new tranny. 4 mismatched tires. LOTS of small broken stuff.

everything on the car that was broken has been fixed except the tranny(damn 3rd gear syncro). Thus the hood and unpainted bumper. When I do paint it everything but the duckbill will be red so it wont have such a jumpy black/red look.

these are just progress pics...it still has a long way to go before its where I want it.

I thought the wheels wouldnt be popular, but they are different from what i always see, and i like them alot, so i posted anyways.

 

is it just me or in the first pic does your bumper seem molded to your fender??? or am i just a crackhead (&lt;-- dont answer that!)

 

Lookin` pimp.
