^ ummmmm rrriiiggghhhhtttt, personally I like the mirror sticker, I know its borderline if not already ricey, but i like it, maybe I will grow tired of it someday and I'll lose the powered by. also ya I have tein s-techs, so it drops it alittle, but not much. I do realize that there is still alot of wheel gap, one of the reasons I went with 225/50/r16's. but rest assure my next goals are to get coilovers, traction rods, lsd, and other supsension goodies. I also failed to mention the things I did. I picked up ty's (nvrplzd240) old ka he rebuilt and spun a bearing in, I rebuilt it myself and cleaned everything up, put the headers on aswell a new clutch ( thanks to ty again) and also replaced a completely destroyed throwout bearing, I mean this thing was completely gone! I also replaced all front n rear sway bar links ( all were completely shot) and obviously repainted the hatch. ummm plus other things I can't remember. but 130 miles so far so good

ya I was really nervous before I got them, but once one I was very pleased with the fitment, no hitting, rubbing, offest is perfect. now some coilovers and a fender pull, then that will really set it off

Dood, your hatch is Sexy! Great transformation, I can't wait to have some of my own! (Before & Afters) The 501's had me worried, when I saw them before, but they worked out great. Good Job.

haha ya i know right? but I got a great deal on it, I know 3 in pipe on a N/A is a big no no. but I couldn't pass it up. one day I will be turbo, so it will work out.

Future goals:-coilovers-lsd-sway bars-all kinds of supsension goodies

Future Future Goals-SR20-all kinds of engine goodies-cage

Like way past future goals:-180sx oem aero or nice body kit-maybe nicer rims-kouki lights-bucket seats
