so i put this engine in this time last year, and the car had some changes since then.Recentley i stole my friends camera and finally took some pictures of the car , i thought id share with all of you

CA18DETS14 Exaust (dont asck, it was an unfourtinate event)SSAutocrap IC Piping6x2x26 IntercoolerCrushed 1G DSM BlowoffStock Booststaggered fit 18 inch wheels$25 paintjob.Tein lowering springs and GR2'sGreddy tie bar on rear towers, custom sweet one on front

Shes my daily driver, so its pretty much stock, futre plans include:Longer studs for the front, so i can put the spacers on there and push the front wheels to match the rear, full bushing overhaul, including transmission and motormounts, recirculated BOV and a tune would be nice.im keeping my dreams low, and realistic.

heres my baby:

yah she does need to be cleaned rather badly, and the interior is hot florescent pink, its not a start, the car was good and clean, and due to some very unfourtinate events things went down hill, i dont have the time or money so for the time being i tell myself its sweet and deal with it.

20% on the driver/pass window and 50 on the front would look pretty good.

i had the pass/driver windows tinted to match the rear, but doing so attracts unnwanted attention from the police, and they always give me a hard time, also i was forced to remove them from the front.

no some dude ghetto rigged and powdercoated it for me, nothing hits, i said i used to have a greddy unit on the KA befor i blew it up, and that one used to rub, but it dont fit ontop of the CA, too tall, this one does.thanx tms, this car goes through hell on a daily basis, so its always kinda dirty, but she moves, and if i stay outta boost it gets good milage, she carts my fat as$ around, fast enough to be fun, and not fas enough for me to do anything stoopid, i built it to learn how to drive and to use it all the time, its very functional, and kinda janky, but i love her.
