Welcome to the SC world. Nice pick up.. Are those ADR Sterling wheels? That's what I had on the old BMW. Way to represent the 1JZGTE.

Nice turbo swap! Looking good. What kind of power ya making so far?

Could use a little more rubber on the wheels but I like the clean look overall.

Good pick up. Needs more low, and if u want, some different wheels would make it look cherry. I'm jealous of the 1j swap

Not sure on the power yet, but i'd have to say probably about 10-15 more hp than stock? only real mods i have are the fmic, and a fuel pump. LOL

And yeah, I went to 235's (previous were 225s, and if i were to floor it the only thing that would happen would be tire smoke.)

And thanks.

The car is actually riding on Mkiv shocks and lowering springs.. I already scrape over a lot. Hell, I even got a McDonald's bag stuck under the car night before last.

The wheels are starting to grow on me, yet I also think i wouldn't mind a more stealthy look.

Right now she's my daily, and i'm just going to spend the rediculous amount trying to get her to a point where she's comfortable, but eventually, I want a manual, lsd, and a single.
maybe an auto couture kit....

Haven't gotten the chance to wash/ wax/ detail her yet. Yeah, I bought mothers polishing compound to try and tackle them and the fogs. My lighting at night is horrible.
Nah you're not negative, I agree with everything you're saying. LOL

ya that paint needs some wax/sealer bigtime. I'd hate to see that paint get ruined. is that the orig color of the car? thoes wheels would look sick if you could colormatch the gunmetal and keep the rim/lip chrome. wouldn't exactly be stealthy, but imo would look killer. they have the rattle can wheel paint at local autoparts stores. cheap and looks good if you do it right. clear em too for durability if ya can.

there are many DIY's on headlight cleaning. check this out.

It's already due for another paint job...

But it's not the original color, and I was thinking of plasti dipping the wheels black.. and I actually like your idea better.

Wow! It shined up like a new penny. I love parking garage shots.

I plasti-dipped mine months ago and still holding up strong. only thing for me is I got flat black dip and the car is gloss black but ehh it still looks good and will work until I get around to paint/coat them...one day haha.
