On the upcoming, I plan to put on my new rear OEM bumper as mine has a small crack, and then complete my build with 20% tint all around, and Cat-Back straight pipe, and hopefully with stainless tips. I'm on a tight budget but I am stretching it to make it work

Pictures of the wheels:



Do you guys like the wheels? They are staggered and 9.5" in the rear. with 8" on the front. Opinions?

those are hot! what kinda tires are those?

Pulled my ENTIRE interior out for a full cleaning and so that I could do a complete sound deadener installation and a full stereo rewiring with new head unit, speakers, amps, etc. Looking forward to having it all put back together.

^^ That's not from excessive acceleration; it's cause is likely excessive camber and toe-in. You should check the alignment.

Finally got my new '97 side skirt from Japan to complete the pair as it's next to impossible to find one, let alone a set down under. I was just lucky to have found a used passenger side skirt. Now just need some paint!

Is this from daily driving? the uneven wear looks like bad alignment, you should get a realignment and your tires will last longer even in a burn out. unless your camber'd out then nvm hell yeah haha

Yeah, from daily driving. I made the mistake of driving on winter tires all summer. The alignment and camber are fine. The tires were only 40k mile rated, and I drove on them for two summers. Next spring I'll get new rims and a summer tire, and switch them over. I've wanted new rims for a while anyway.

It's the original transmission from my '95. i believe 95-97 w58's came with the extension. it's a heavenly transmission. it's a shame i'm forced to clutch kick the hell out of it.
