Default Jordanf's UCF10

I bought this car back in October with the intentions of using it as a fun winter car. It had 179,000 kilometers, looked great and drove smoothly. Scooped it up for $1850. The build quality on these cars is amazing.






One of the first things that I did was install a new set of BC coilovers since I couldn't stand the factory ride height.



Set them up for max low right off the bat
It dropped the car wayyy too low for winter and was dragging the exhaust and mudflaps on almost everything



Raised the coilovers a tad









Test fit some wheel I had laying around for fun; 17x10 +25. I'm looking to run 18's in a similar spec but will need to cut the fenders first. I couldn't drop it any further in that pic since the tire was too wide, but i'm positive that they will camber in just perfectly with less tire.











Here is what's done to my car so far:
-Rear windows tinted 20%
-BC coilovers
-Roof spoiler
-UCA clearance holes
-LED interior lights, licence plate lights
-RCR tail lights, clear signals
-6.5" front components, 5.25" rear coax, head unit, sub, amp

Next up will probably be an exhaust tuck and some mufflers.
Then some wide wheels.

Nice car man.

I just bought one as well. 1990, same color as well.

Would you have any more pictures of the 17x10 on the car?

Everyone is saying 17's would be too small but I would like to see otherwise!

Thanks and that's the only good pic of the wheels I have. The tire size is 245/40/17 so its below the correct diameter for an LS400 anyway
