not to hate on the sr or anything but you should consider other engines too and if its going to be a drift paint should not be at the top of your list instead ask them for a nice set of coilovers lol

Just save your money and take it one step at a time,things will come in place.I suggest that if you are going to drift the car i will learn how to on the KA and then upgrade to a SR .Keep in mine on your goal and get the things you need and then when you have money you can get the things you want and if you going to do something !!Do it right the first time don't half *** it lol.are you close to Rochester NY?

Not bad for a project, I the sr20, but not when your starting out. And +1 for the guy who said coilovers over paint. Especially if your drifting that paint wont last long

already washed her those pics were from a week ago just never got time to post the pics

Yeah i told my parents how about instead of paint i use the money for coilovers and they didn't agree i even told them i can get coilovers and mayb get some spray paint cans and paint it like that for the moment it'll sort of look like crap but hey you're right with drifting that paint won't last long

just have the small spots painted, like your hatch and the spot by your pass rear wheel, then spend the rest on coilovers.

looks pretty good, no dings or nothing that i can see. a nice paint job will help alot, some rims would make it look just fine too.
