Default My sc with new wheels

So I would have posted this in the introduce you self section but I already did that a couple mounth's ago. Ive been lurking and gathering info for about a year now so I thought I might show you what Ive been working on.




This is my 1992 sc 400 with orignal royal jade pearl paint It's been siting in storage for the past 5 mouth while I got some part's together.



First thing I wanted to do to my car was lower it so I purchased tanabe spring and tokico struts. It lookes great and ride nice.
( did this just before putting it in storage before winter)



I had done some little things to the car like powder coat the valve cover and adding a performence exhaust (which I'm not happy. full mandrel is coming soon)








I decided to get a cheap set of wheel for my car so I picked up a set of xxr staggerd wheel. I know there cheap but I've seen these wheel on several members car and they all look great. I did pick up a eastwood fender roller and rolled the fender to pervent rub.






Last week I got The itch due to nice wheather here in wisconsin and decide to pull my car out and roll the fenders and install the rims so here some pic of that. Most of these where taken at my gas station at different time so some pic have frost on the car (it was real early in the morning)







And a couple in the evening




I'm always working on some thing even now I'm gather part's for a nitrous wet system. Ive got the kit but I waiting to install a new torque converter next mouth. I've got a load of pic they all can be viewed on my cardomain page http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3339666

I guess that all for now. If you could please keep your comment civil I don't feel like getting flammed because someone dosent like some thing I said.
THANKS

Pics are so tiny but it looks clean! good work so far I love the valve covers.

XXR 962 are good looking, but do you feel how heavy they are?

Looks nice man. I think you made the right choice on rims, let them grow on you. Personally its low enough for me. Any more and you will be buying tires all the time. JMO
