yea this is my 6th red car, only other car i bought that wasnt red was a white smashed s14 to use for my 5spd swap and parted out making my money back

gonna be a daily/backup car for now. if i ever sell my car this might be the next beast. i was looking for one without a sunroof to clear my helment better and without abs cuz it just takes up space

Nice find, the 5 lug swap helps the look so much, evenw ith the stock 5 spoke wheels. Nice that you had a stock FE to swap on, was there much diff in the color, since one's been outside exposed to the sun more?

all about the stock se wing fella's? not a bad idea, but the spoiler could use some touch up paint, but wait! i had my stock spoiler painted when i had my car painted jstu to take advantage so i could swap that on, sweet.

REX- i only had to swap on my stock front bumper since hte other was kinda trashed. mine was a bit brighter but matches the rest of the car great

I can relate to the red car trap...im still in it.Anyway, did someone change the grille insert, I thought the '96s didn't have the middle slat (at least mine doesn't). I see that famous '96 whistling fixed antenna.

if i build this car, the body will stay stock. if i do build it it will prolly be all out depending on few things

Hehehe...I have to post a pic of my garage right now:



........Well, they're not both mine. I'm doing a headgasket on the one on the left...mine just doesn't sleep outside!

The extra car will be gone tommorrow. Thankfully. It's dirty, and a pain in my ***.
