Yeah, Osaka is local to me, I already knew all the reputations that they had before I went to go buy from there. They tried selling me another Soarer with a leaky diff with blown ball joints and bushings. They tried giving me excuses like ohh it's been sitting there for a long time, etc etc.. bs.. anyways. I don't want people calling / shopping there after they've seen that my car was bought there. I had the car thoroughly inspected before the purchase

Well..

Since my tail lights are being a pain in the a** to come apart and I can't get access to my car right now, I tried to do something at least a little bit productive and shined up my wheels.. just waiting for my tires to come in..

Some updates today!

Garage door has finally opened since the entire winter.


First thing I did was put the driver seat in
Wow does it feel nice to sit in this car again. I didn't install the passenger side yet because I'm having an issue with one of the seat belt bolts. It's not going in and I might've stripped the hole a bit.. damn this is going to be a crappy hurdle


Got the Apexi Power intake kit in and changed the battery. Costco battery FTW! :P




How she's gonna be sitting till I decide to either take apart my 95-96 tails or just put them back



Next things to do
- Flush all the fluids including oil
- Put back tail lights
- Install Lower Control Arms
- Install Coilovers
- Roll Fenders
- TT Brake Swap
- Install new wheels
- Install TEAS system for coil overs

Parts coming in
- Black e-brake boot
- ARV Bov

stay tuneed.....

Can't wait for the new shoes to go on.

To tell you the truth, I never liked the ones you have on it now - too small.
