I bought it from the original owner with full documentation and 84,000 on the clock. It was bone stock, but not for long Here are some pics on the way home from picking her up.




After getting used to the car I added some clears and black kidneys.

Took some pics that came out looking really old in the snow...




Then once I got passed the one year point I picked up some Kosei K1s but I looked like a 4x4...






Then this passed summer is when the fun started to happen. I bought some TC Kline coilovers with Vorshlag camber plates, along with some other minor mods...







One last pic, because racecar...


Things to come...
1. Lower it some more
2. Pick up either Borbet Type C 17x8.5et13, BBS RX 17x8et10, Enkei 92 (forget specs, but are aggressive 16s), or get some custom Fifteen52s
3. Do the brakes and cooling system
4. Fixed back seats, roll bar, and 330mm steering wheel
5. Get some R-Comps for the Koseis

Id be getting the tarmacs... Either 17x8 or 17x9 probably in white. I need to think about offsets though.

Edit: I also need to figure out what I'd do because I'm getting the car aligned next week, but would want to slam it for the tarmacs which wouldmeen I'd need to get it realigned every time I switch wheels because the current wheels can't work if the car is much lower.

Met up with some locals to take some pics last night at the King of Prussia Mall... pics were taken by extrem344, but thought I'd share
























And saving the best for last...
