These are from when I still had P/S, A/C, cruise, and nasty projector headlights.

Thanks!! Ya, this past winter I slid it into a curb and it destroyed the lip. Injectors, fuel pump, ECU and tune need to come first though :P

Ya, took it off recently for a cleaner look. Plan to fix and paint body this winter or next year so they'll be filled then.

Original paint as far as I know. I haven't waxed in forever but I've used the ICE system in the past.

Bigger than most cars on here, but I like.
Good call taking those projectors off.
Ya, they came on the car along with some Motegi MR7's. Both had to go.

I've got plans for a top-mount manifold and I honestly don't miss either.

Word, thanks again for the wheels. I'm going today for a bit before dinner with the girl's fam. Call me.

Will know for sure as soon as new injectors, ECU, fuel pump and Neptune are installed and dyno tuned by Servion :thumbs up.

They're some knockoffs of the 5Zigen FNO1R-C. I eventually want to get some 16" rota slips or circuit 8's but these are a hell of a lot better than what WAS on the car previous.

I actually think the wheels go great with the car.. I mean, they'd look even better with some bigger break drums.
But even though I usually only go for 15" or 16" wheels, those 17" look great.

Lips are coming, fuel system and dyno tune come first. Pins keep the hood latch from ripping out of the hood :thumbs up

No drums, rotors. But possibly next year I'll be scoring a system. They're hella pricey though. Thanks again! No dyno numbers as of yet. Should be getting a full dyno tune real soon. Keep ya posted!!

Ya, it's the Greddy TD05H-18G kit. Went with something simple and bolt-on for the time being. Kit itself comes with some good components, but I would say upgrade the injectors, pump, and ECU with the kit if one were to install it and get it pro tuned right away :lol:

just wondering... why did you lose the PS/AC?

just wondering... why did you lose the PS/AC?
When I first tore it down for a bottom end rebuild I removed the accessories (P/S, A/C, cruise) before actually tearing the motor down to reduce the amount of time the car would be down as it was my only transport at the time. After riding around with it like that after the rebuild I actually began to like it. It has a more "positive" feel in the steering, I never used the A/C as the turbo and manifold nearly diminished it's cooling ability, and I rarely if ever used the cruise. Also, seeing as how I would like to one day strip the engine bay and do a complete wire tuck, I'm already a few steps in that direction :thumbs up. Not to mention the manifold/turbo setup I would eventually like to go with will not allow P/S or A/C :lol:.

are you serious!!! dude that sucks:cry:
Yes it does... I've got a friend with a freshly rebuilt one here, but he doesn't want to sell... I even offered to buy his, have mine rebuilt at the SAME shop, SAME person, SAME specs and sell it to him for less than I buy his for, so he makes money off the deal... He hasn't answered me yet... :cry:

So I've pretty much determined that I've got a spun bearing. At least that's what I hope. The bottom end will no longer turn by hand. Top end is fine, already checked it out. Anyone know how often this causes more serious damage to say the rods or crank?
