Looks great man...I know the feeling of elation at having rims. And you've got an intake, header, more horses out of the box, and 5 gears...lucky guy. Now give that sucker a drop and it'll look finished.

What do you do for work?

I detail cars. And build and sell computers. Haha.

Okay, I assume the latter is pretty damn good business. I just wonder where the hell you make all the cash flow. Pretty cool that you can do it yourself though. I also have a little wash and wax type deal going on, but it's not taking off as much as I thought it might.

Are all your streets always empty? You always seem to be able to take pics when your car is half turned at a intersection?

A housing company started building streets and stoplights and everything for a new housing development they were building, and then got shut down because they didn't have a permit to build on wetlands. So all the roads out there are just empty. It's pretty awesome, if you ask me

Try asking some of your family members. That's what I did. I detailed my aunts car, grandmas car, etc, then then tell their friends.. etc etc. I have more business that I can keep up with most of the time!

Well, only my brother, dad, and mom live in this country.

Not really an "update" but I removed that heat shielding under the hood... Looks like they forgot to paint :[

The next project will be painting it black to make it look decent.




EDIT: there was supposed to be a before and after pic but my computer hates me. Sorry for the useless post, lmao. I'll edit this post tomorrow when it's light outside. I deleted the other pic and lost the link

I'm beyond flattered

[mmmchocolate]

your car looks better and better each time i read this thread! nice work

[SwissFerdi]

Yeah, your wheels and engine bay look similar, I guess it's the red strut bar.

[richee3]

Now that you have those rims, aren't you glad you didn't paint the stockers?

Go to junkyards and find a good 2 post spoiler, paint it black, and then get raisers

[m0dd3d1]

Very nice look man! You've even got JDM tails; didn't notice that 'til the second time around. Now you just need some springs and projectors!

that is on my list to, vincent_doggy has some sick raiser blocks if you haven't already seen them!
he has so much on sale like you wouldn't believe, thats where i got my interior!

[johnnehh]

Well, this was a little unexpected (Unless you've been talking to me in the chatroom or AIM)

Yesterday I took out all the back seats!





I like it.





And then today I went out and got a Boost/Vacuum guage.







That's not where it's going to sit forever, I'm going to buy a red bulb for it and a pod to sit in a better spot

[SwissFerdi]

...why the gauge?

[johnnehh]

...why the gauge?

On sale. Lol.

My friend has one and I've always liked it.

Although it doesn't do much, it gives it a neat look in my opinion.

Kinda like most of the mods I've done to my car

[SwissFerdi]

No, I disagree with that entirely. Your visual mods are just visual...but you don't have a turbo...so what is it measuring?

Your visual mods are purely visual, they don't really serve a function on our cars...but this is something that is supposed to be function-only...nawmean?

Know what I mean?

Vacuum.

[OOBE]

Maybe you haven't realized it, but that gauge doesn't look tasteful at all, especially in that spot. Just trying to steer you into a cleaner way of modding.
