Hi guys so I'm new to the site. I picked up a 1997 LX sedan 5 speed and I will be my daily.
First things first, I needed to get some Maintenance out of the way.
Thats new Distributor, and Cap. Spark Plugs and Wires, Air filter and Oil change.
Timing belt and Water pump will be coming very soon as well. Well before mods.
The suspension is shot so I bought a set of Racelands coils. I know I know. But the car is my daily and I dont need crazy spring rates and stiff ride. I used to have a set on my miata and they dailyed just fine.
I bought a Clutch and a new Flywheel and will be installing that shorty.
So the plan with the car parts wise is as follows.
Energy suspension full bushing kit. (Oem is shot)
Short shifter
Front and rear lips
New Headlights
Window Visors
Used set of diamond racing wheels from a friend and fresh tires.
Just make a nice comfy daily that looks good.
Progress with be slow however as I was involved in a pretty bad Dirtbike accident and broke my leg, I have about 2 months to heal up. So once im better progress will be alot quicker.
Oh and my old car. Boy do I miss it!
