For now I'm going to focus on suspension...suspension....suspension. Although, the wife hates the pop up lights you might see something changin soon.... . I have no plans right now on any engine work or transmission swap if it matters. I would like to keep this car as comfortable as possible, but at the same time upgrade it.

That is looking fantastic Ballin . Can you remind me of those wheels sizes again, I cannot remember exactly from when I saw them for sale and am curious for my own future plans for one of my verts. Any good pics of rears to show how much they are sticking out?

Thanks,

Torso

right now 17x8 +0 f w/ a 215 45and 17x9 +12 r 215 55

I'll post the tire fitment once I get the tire/ camber set up right. I have not played with the camber, so it does stick out right now. The fenders have not been touched yet. I also need coilovers to get it all to fit perfect.

1. Suspension will be the next focus. Bushings are 15 years old along with the shocks. Which I have 2 of them blown right now. Coilover, rucas, tension rods, and ES bushing kit will be the next on the plate.

2. Probably convert the frontend, since the wife hates it and I dont mind that.

3. Engine?????? we'll see. I kinda like rotaries

Did the B-pillard mod and fixed all the lighting issues. Tomorrow it should be ready for inspection. I also got another set of rims and tires just for inspection.
