okay, so when I bought it...

Ram air intake, ractive style muffler, CD player with amp wiring, but no system (other than kenwood 6.5s), L.E.D. Underglow, Light up tubes in door panels

+ Front Strut Bar, Navan Grille, Eyelids, Rota Wheels, Yokohama Tires, Painted Valve Cover and cleaned up engine bay, 2 12" Ultimate T3 Subs in a bassworx box, Mobile Authority 1000W Amp

+ Header, 2.5" Downpipe, 2.5" Magnaflow High Flow Cat, 3" Catback, new paint, removed spoiler, Tien S-Tech Springs, KYB AGX struts, decals on the windshield, Green Line Tires on the rear, Stubby Antenna, cheapo fog lights (works well), cross drilled brake rotors.

I now have some 8mm spacers in my garage awaiting wheels studs, and I have silvia emblems in the mail.

Real wheels make the difference, spacers will make them sit flush, but they will still only be 7' wide, and thats just not enough.

there's someone selling S15 silvia hubs and brakes locally but wants $300 for them with a lot of missing studs and some missing brake lines. I'd like to find some wheels with a 4 bolt pattern and a decent offset.

nice, it def looks better than when you originally bought it, and thats what counts.

If it was me tho, I would have opted for a NICO windshield banner, rather than that NISMO one.

I like it. You dont have to do much to a Zenki. I would kill the tow hook H though and a few other small things.

what other things would you get rid of? I'd like to take the "H" off and replace it with something else, but I dont know what, once I find something cool it will be gone.

Yeah you cant really brag about that I mean one time I was mowing my grass and these two civics were racing and I lost control of the lawn mower,while they were racing, and it ended up flying down the street and beating them.

Umm, headers and a downpipe? Why do you even have a downpipe, are you turbo and I missed it?

Well he could have a 3" dp, 2.5",2.25", etc. The dp is usually a separate piece from the header. It's mostly associated with turbos cause what else are you gonna call it? On a header or set of headers it may be called the collector pipe or down pipe.

no, not a turbo downpipe, whatever you would call the piece between the header and the cat. I've caled it a downpipe because I really dont know any other name for it..?

I don't know who owns that AE86, it was in a parkade before a car show and I was parked beside it, it looked cool so I took a picture. Would have looked old school if I had my S13. But it's in pieces right now.

Yeah, shoot me an email and we'll go from there, they will definitely look a lot better than my princess auto fogs. I will just have to find a way to wire them to my fog switch.

Oh, Archer, keep an eye out for a front lip for me, not have one is starting to drive me nuts lol
