Just shot a couple photos today. Here's one. I'm trying to get back into the photo game. Need to get some more 120 film. The water and flashes made the side look wild.

Nice wheels. Dial in a little camber in the front and she'll look even better!

Thanks a lot man. Ive been planning on it but I've been lazy lately haha. I'll be throwing my stock exhaust with an n1 tip on it the previous owner put on back on since my straight 3" cat-less exhaust on an NA KA is ridiculous and loud. Maybe while I'm working on it I'll do that. Tax returns are on their way so I'll hopefully be buying a few goodies, along with a spare ka to rebuild for boost. I'm predicting a year from now I'll be pushing 300 give or take. We'll see how that goes.

Thanks guys. Your cars got a lot of character 240lookis. My poser kouki tails:gapteeth . I don't really like the straight red tails all the way across the rear. As for whats next, I'm probably going to get some more adjustable suspension goodies, a gtspec c pillar bar, and some other little things. I also want to get my hands on a Xenon lip, but can't seem to do so. This is along with the rebuild/boost. The joy of being a 17 year old with a low income. Ive paid for everything including the car, except 1 tire and my clutch. It's a slow process but its getting somewhere.

Wooo updates. Ok so I've been doing a few things lately. Hammered the front fenders, dropped the front a half inch more, got new tires, rubbed them all the way from the tire shop because i didn't have enough camber< smoked 'em all the way, key ring light, re upholstered headliner, deleted visors because i don't use them any ways (they annoy me/ block my vision being 6'1"ish) and installed my new PBM toe arms. The low models with the sweet bend. These things are pretty beefy. I like the way they adjust too. instead of turning nuts, you turn the entire center. Recommend them to all of you. I'm saving for a small turbo setup to hold me over 'till I build a bigger power setup later on. Photos are gewd.

Before more front end lowering.









Bad driveways are bad.

I have like 8 more of these. Buy one from me.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm thinking $17 shipped? You just have to modify the current trim piece around your ignition with a dremel or something to fit the light. I have 2 that will fit as is which I will include in the first 2 sold. I will throw in the solderless terminals needed to wire them up also.

Alright so I shot some photos the other night in this sick tunnel. On the way in I scraped the s*** out of my exhaust and frame. Left 6 grooves in the concrete. Whoo. I have a shipment coming in Tuesday. It's something good, I promise! Photos will be posted after install.



Could have used a wash before the photos. Last minute Photo sesh.

One bonus of my friends bike we shot that night.

Sorry for such a lame update. Good one coming soon!
