Nice S13. For the front strut bar, mine was just like yours, just had washers between the shock tower and the bar, it will clear the intake manifold.

usually on the beach at night......... nice cool breeze so it doesnt sweat as much.

very refreshing I hear.

what exactly are you asking when you say that? like how is it routed? are you asking if I like how it feels?

something else maybe?

the wheels were 50 dollar swap meet junkers........... sprayed them with auto zone paint. then I wrapped them in tires 8 times the price

new wheels are on the back burner less I find a deal(such as foxbody saleen mesh ). The dropping is the next step in the list of things to do. Tanabe Coilovers are probably the choice I will be grabbing as they are nice balance of performance and ride quality. (say ty to the government for taxes paying for them.......)

as for skirts? idk i go back and forth if I want to or not......

all in all I want it to perform, then be pretty

step dad is currently measuring for making a full roll cage. talks are atleast 10 points, but atleast 4 so we can do harnesses. grandpa owns the biggest welding shop in the S/E so we have access to play with lots of steal. if we had a CNC machine i would already have a sweet coil cover(but last I heard like 12 people are already working on them )

we are also going to make a plate to use the lower air dams to force more air into the FMIC. then box the air filter in with some stainless 1/8th in dimond plate.

just have to find time in the day

You just need to go all out. Glove box, armrest, headliner, door panels, and even seats. THAT would be gangsta.

Im waiting for the right seats to pass........ the seats in my bf 6 are so nice and glove leather. I will probably be looking for those or RX8 seats...... really want to have heated seats(good for the bad back). wiring isnt too difficult for something like that.

G-Unot



A phrase thought of by rapper the Game to describe how fake he thinks G-Unit is. After 50 Cent kicked the Game out of the G-Unit rap group, they both faked a make up which was broadcast on television, and donated money to the Harlem Kids Choir. However, the truth was exposed at Summer Jam 2005 in New York City: they're still beefin', or at least they don't like each other too much. At Summer Jam '05, the Game screamed "F*ck 50" a bunch of times, told him he'd take on Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks, and, supposedly, said the following backstage: "I didn't ask for this sh-t, I got kicked out the group cause n-ggas hated on me man so f--k them n-ggas. It's GGGG-Unot...I don't f--k with rats and snitches...
