Wow I just read this thread. This car really did come back from the dead. i mean I think most ppl would've just scrapped it or just left on the side of the road with the front end collision. But that's cool to see someone really resurrect it!! Goodjob and keep up the good work!!

I definately agree The coilovers definately make the stance very nice

Thanks! Im glad you brought that up. I did install the steering link bushing. I will post up pics asap. It was definately the most time consuming and tedious install that I have ever done. Im pretty sure you will have better luck than me. The battery I found on eBay for a very nice price The CCA on it is 425. Im a bit nervous about that but I hope its ok.

I got the ex-mag exhaust on my car now. I love it. It looks stock but sounds so mean. Good choice. I wonder how it'll sound with the SR.

You dont have to pull out the top and bottom. I just did that so which ever came out first easiest can come out. This is definitely one of the most frustrating parts
