Default Just some pictures

Have been lurking here for a while with this account, but due to school and surgery, I haven't been able to post or do much to the car. That is hopefully changing due to some paychecks coming in and spring/summer approaching.










Looking to drop it slightly in the near future. Birthday is coming up, if I can, might try and get some coilovers, but most likely, I'll just go springs. Looking into the xxr 521s also and that will probably be it. Being in school, and this is my only car, no need to do anything performance yet (unless I find a really good deal on something).

Also, the car has 173k on it. Can't tell by the pictures, or the way the car drives. Did the timing belt, plugs, fluids, new radiator, and water pump at 170k. Thing is amazing.

Love these cars.

Yeah, hasn't been one this year though by me lol.

Hoping to do full clean on the interior this week while I'm home. Don't know if my back will allow that though (surgery was last thursday, can't do much). My car is getting real dirty and it is driving me nuts.

Came with the car. From what I've heard, they are pretty rare. Might be interested in selling given the right price lol

Clean. I'm jealous of your all leather seats lol for 173k, that's mint. And if you're going to go springs, you might as well save the cash and go coils. You won't regret it.

I was thinking that, but I found a couple really good deals on springs/shocks. Most likely will come down to what I can get for my birthday

If I do go coils though, I'd probably get tein basics. Not looking to get into the hella flush scene, not my style. And being that tein is rebuildable, big plus. Just gotta find me the correct spring rates, keep only seeing 8/6 which is too soft for me.
