UPDATE TIME! A LOT TO TELL!

So first of last Monday me and a buddy got in a pretty bad wreck. He was showing me his S13 and boy was it a nice car.I don't have any pics of it before the wreck but once I do I will post them up. We were cut off on the street and he locked up his brakes and we went right into a fat wooden telephone pole. I was able to get out and make sure he was alright. He suffered a deeply cut lip and his eye was swollen to the size of a golf ball. We were very lucky with this crash.

Here you can see that the fire team had to cut the door and roof to get my buddy out.
Image

Here is where the firewall separated from the frame rail.
Image

But the best part about the whole thing. The 400hp SR is fine.
Image


So anyways now to my car.

I made my own intake and catch can setup.
My car idles fine now!
Image
Image

I've installed my Isis Short Shifter and that feels great! It changed the car completely!
Also installed my DS
Image

Installed my LED's too.

Went from ricer blue:
Image

To a clean natural white!:
Image

RUCA's from ProjectSlivia are in:
Image

AND NOW FOR THE BEST PART:

WHEELS! :woot:

Image

XXR 527 17x9.75 in Hyper Silver.
Image

Muteki Purple lugs
Image

Taking them to my storage unit.
Image

I had to test fit them so here's what happened.

The rears fit perfectly.

Image
Image
Image

But the front, different story. :tisk:

So close but thats not the worst part.
Image

Hellapoke :eek:
Image

They do look great though.
Image


So Basically Im gonna buy some spacers and flares to fit these.
As for a tire setup I'm thinking 215/40/17 up front and 225/45/17 in the rear.

MORE TO COME!!! :biggrin:

Now excuse my while I have a Victory meal.

Also is the vert still around or more specifically are the tophats fro the rear suspension up for grabs?
