The car was garage kept, 12X,XXX miles, one owner. So far I have put in a front and rear strut bar, rims, black headights, tanabe sustec pro s-oc and megan cat-back exhaust. My next step will be a manual conversion, drive that for a while then decide whether an engine swap or turboing will be the route taken...then cosmetics.

Great car. Any pictures of the engine bay. This is just my advise, but do suspension before any major motor work. I wish I did before my sr swap

Oh they are very dim, fine for around town at night where there are street lights but dim, havent been bothered by popo yet. They have h4 bulbs now so i dont know if there are brighter bulbs but there are also other styles of the black lamp, i kinda like the crystal black, but there is also yellow.

What else for suspension do you mean for me to worry about, I have coilovers, they can go about another inch lower but i already dropped it 2" and wouldnt be able to exit my driveway otherwise.

This is whats next for me...http://www.frsport.com/Energy-....htmlThis will make your car handle like a go cart...http://www.frsport.com/FR-Larg....htmlI need to save up for this myself..http://enjukuracing.com/isis-s...m4sm6

Like I said that is just my opinion, I wish I did this first. There is no point to having a fast car if it wont handle or stop.

Clean dude.

Get some wheel spacers and meatier tires when you need them. Ditch the silencer too.

I like the headlights.

so leave "good enough" alone huh. i guess we would all be driving around in sohc's with that mentaliity. it might look stock clean, i will give him that but he asked our opinion, and mine was to change up some stuff to look/perform better.
