#252186 so this has been a long time coming, i joined the forum a while ago, but ive been pretty lazy about posting about my car. but im out of school and working as a mechanic now, so its time to start getting the hatch ready for autoX. ive got a few pics and im planning a photoshoot, so i should have more pics soon, ill just post them as soon as i get em.
unfortunately the enkei rims in these pics are done. i hit a pothole on the highway a couple months ago and destroyed on of them. so if anybodys wants 3 enkei rs6 wheels from the late 90s, let me know, there cheap. now my rims are black, but i wont have pics till i do my photoshoot.

current mods
-15x7 MB drifter wheels
-kuhmo ecsta AST tires
-cherry bomb turbo muffler
-CAI
-MSD superconductor ignition
-got a d16z6 vtec motor front end swap, which gives it Si suspension and brakes, not much difference but the brakes are a bit bulkier
-slowly replacing all of the bushings

stuff ive got and am getting ready to install
-rear disk brakes conversion off a teg
-drilled disks
-hawk racing pads
-steel braided brake lines

ive got plans for doing suspension, exhaust, and hopefully fixing the rust problem this summer

anyways, heres the pics
