hi guys, just a quick introduction. bought the car last March. here's how it looked when i bought her.
139,000 miles , stick shift with a clean title. needed a 4 door since i got 2 little boys.
super 4x4 action with nasty no name wheels.
it was like that until november when the wife gave the go ahead for me to buy some mods.
in March, i finally decided to go through with the jdm front conversion. i was happy until i saw the final product, lots of paint drips, swirls etc it was a pretty s***ty paint job but the guy said he'd fix it for me. eventually, he stopped answering my calls and moved his shop. real shady stuff but anyway, here is how she stands as of today.
i bought these on a craigslist yesterday
current mod list
function form coilovers type I
blox camber kit
aem cold air intake
16" rota jmags
jdm front end
misc ebay interior parts hehe
a bunch of starwars stickers :lol:
im happy with the way the car sits, good gas mileage and reliable since i commute 70-75 miles each day.
open to comments,suggestions and criticisms.
thanks for looking!

my engine bay definitely needs alot of TLC
did a test fit on the dr27 (16x8.25 +15)

wheels are finally on. just had the fenders rolled. i was rubbing really bad on the way from the tire shop.
here's a pic. ill take better ones soon. ill probably lower front and rears probably 0.5 more but we'll see.

lowered the car a bit. trying to find the right setup where my two kids and my wife can ride comfortably in the car and get the right stance at the same time(probably impossible lol)
still new to this whole "stance" thing but a little bit more tinkering and i should get it right hopefully. its just funny to have my entire family get into the car, drive around the neighborhood and do it several times just to see where i rub etc. Rears have to come down a bit more. should be done by Monday. the wife is already giving me the evil eye hehe
