Default My Build Thread

Welcome to my thread.

First day I purchased my Em2







Then I took off the door moldings, pin stripes, and the tail lights.





Then ordered some OEM headlights, blacked them out, and put in some yellow fogs. Got myself a OEM front lip, from H and A.





I got sick of my back end dragging, so I got some Tein Basic coil overs. The ride was too bumpy so I got some smaller wheels, 16 inch rota torques, with 215/50 G-Force KDWs









I added a Progress 22mm rear sway. I couldn't stay in the stock seats so I got some EP3's which I love to death.





Girl friend likes the blue lights, have to keep her happy

Winter mode

looks good.
the rims and blacked out headlights go well together.

something about it makes it look agressive. maybe its the stance or the bigger profile tires or something.

looks like a good start tho!

Default Update

Here's a few new old ones. Car isn't nearly as low now. I just wanted to see how low my Teins would let me.

did you have springs on there only when you first bought it?

or did it have some kind of coilover setup?

Did the smaller wheels make the ride a lot smoother?
