Nice, I like to see cars getting the attention they deserve. Keep up the good work. Now you need to get rid of the 4x4 status.

Which coils from japan? Your best bet for max low is to do what I did with the cressida adapters for stance coils. Then slammy away. FYI you can get this low.

Meh. Personal opinion: I hate mismatched front/rear fenders. I don't understand why you chose the narrow front fenders and then molded in wide rear fenders. I also hate stretched tires. If you're going to run wide wheels, get wide tires. I thought it looked dumb when the Mexicans were doing it back in the 80s. I think it looks dumb now.

Off topic but where did you get this car, cause I purchased what I believe is the same exact car a few months back and did an rb25det swap to it. It was sitting on tsw zolders obviously not as nice as your equips I'm working towards work vs-xx/rezax or maybe any variant of ssr/bbs/vmr I'm located in cali. Image

So since I've been receiving messages inquiring why I did things certain way, or how to do this and that. I just want to be clear I didn't do any of the work I just know part of what I wanted done and had Charles Plumb of Plumb Performance in east county San Diego did all the work for the swap,the re wiring of the dash everything you see.
