ya that sebringis dead, he killed the trans. dont ask how, ( i talked him into looking for a 240 )

anyways besides the crappy weather we have had, i have got quiet a few things done so far

battery relocation clean the engine baysuper short intakerear bumper the new hatch

but i got a lot of problems now 1st i got to have the car looking decent and some what clean by the 9th for the nissan meet up here and with that being said im in the middle of doing some body work on it,

now the red is getting old anyways so i was gonna go flat black for the time being but the problem is that flat black is the new so i was thinking flat white and leave the roof black for now.

any one else think thats a good idea for now????

i also have 4 rims that need tires ohhh and i have no money

and the moster ride hight on a 240 with areo

and my interior is still a mess.

do you really want a guy that rices out his car and kills the transmission doing that to an s13?

ok so its been a long time, i have been busy with finishing high sch l and every thing so now i hope to to get back on track.

the last thing i was workin on was ???? idk. well wear im at now is, i got the car painted real quick, i used Dupli color rattel can metallic black, and it would have turned out a lot better but i ran out of clear coat and time so it dosent look to bad but not great. i got the pos kit from raceonusa put on and well, being young wit no money has its downsides. but it will work for now,

as far as my lights go, they turn on now, but still dont go up or down, . if they go out again im takn them out . i als have the raceonusa headlight conversions but they too fit like crap. waht i might do is use them as a base and weld the eye lids to the hood. and get a combo of lights to put in there or, hopefully snag some projectors from work.

right now i want to put the interior back in and find some coilovers to get rid of my 4x4 height.

pics will be up soon

You should sell the body kit and buy things that actually make the car look good.

That sebring is ridiculous.

If you have enough dough for the parts associated with an intercooler than you certainly have enough for suspension. You probably will have enough left over for some wheels too. Just my 2 centavos.
