Hey Dixon, out of curiosity, how did you get more rear camber? I'm assuming camber bolts?

That is a beautiful ES Dixon! That is inspiring, hopefully one day I'll be able to mod mine up to that level.

Well hate to say it, but this car is considered finish, no more new mods will be going to her. Just regular maintenance. Only thing will change is the cars height, I will lower more in the summer, example image below (slightly higher, but you get the point).



Mods left to do:
1. Finish Morimoto Mini Projectors
2. Waiting for my friends gs old trunk lip, going to try to mod it to fit
3. A new paint job

ONLY MOD I WILL DO
Supercharge it, but that is if I keep the car longer and I find a price I am willing to pay.

What you see is pretty much what it will be like, enjoy guys, ask me any questions, I am glad to help

In the end this car was a pain in the butt to build, with little to no aftermarket available, was worth it, yes, I learned to appreciate my parts and I had to think how I would be able to get my car to be like what I want. A lot of trial and error, DIY was put into this car. Would I tell people not to mod there ES, nope, go for it, you will learn a lot from it. Don't ever let anyone tell you that your car is not meant to be moded or your car cant be like this or that, If you feel its right then go for it, it may not be everyone cup of tea, don't do it just please people, do what makes you happy

We will see what my next car maybe, maybe a MR2, CRX, my dream 850ci, we will see hahaha.

Looks amazing, very nice stance, I've been on the fence about upgrading to coils but i think you made up my mind.

Beautiful car Dixon! A couple questions though: how do you protect the underbody with the car stanced that low? and how did you change the color of the key ring light?

The red fogs look out of place, but everything else looks really nice. Are they even legal?
