      well i lowered the back end and honestly im not to happy with it. i want it lower in the front and i need some spacers for the rear. lol rims keep running through my mind but i just cant decide what id like to do. maybe get some 5x100's in the style i like and redrill im not sure yet. but here are some updated pics. also i will be putting some more pics up of the exhaust i fabbed up. all thats on there now is straight pipe gutted cat to a single magnaflow muffler.
      im not a fan of the tone im getting from it now but it will do. its not very loud but its uber deep. ill prolly end up going outside after i finish this post and take some under shots of her.

          I used to have one of these 8 years ago. I think they look really good with the trim shaved off. This is the only pic that has survived the years. I also ended up cutting out the tirewell in the trunk and making it following the lines of the car. Fun cars!

            oh nice man, i like it with no trim but im just not willing to fill the wholes and do the body work and repainting. lol i like my worn shitty paint at the moment. im looking around on turbobricks trying to find a good rwd tranny match for my b5244 t2 motor from my s70. just a lil project trying to see if it would be worth swapping in. any help would be appreciated.

                  i like seein my buttcheeks hangin out lol, im about to take that ugly grey plastic cover off the underside of the rear so my buttcheeks show. im thinking of getting s70 front and rear lips for the bumpers but im still not sure yet.

                  I absolutly loved my flipped lip on the front right now but i need to repaint it since i frequent the un finished gravel road neighborhoods around here. lol i also found some pretty sweet logging trails i can drive on, some parts are way to rough and i end up scraping my cat over the middle parts but its still fun to drive around on.

                  Im about to replace the CSB and all 3 U joints since i can hear the drive shaft play sometimes at very low speeds in gear. i really need a wash too since the birds think my car is a toilet : /

                  i think this guy has the s70 front and rear lip, i guess he cut the lower lip off the bumper cause i have an s70 and they arent 2 parts.

                          I like that you actually drive your car instead of hard-park it.

                          Also, butt-cheeks belong on 200s. 7s, 9s, and 850s have such short, stubby asses for them to look good.

                                Okay,
                                sooooo the other day im searching around craigslist for some rims and as usual im having no luck at all. I hand the laptop to garrett and he comes across these jeep rims that have no pic but it says 5x4.25(fuck standard everything should be in metric, easier and more accurate!!!!!) that should be 5x107.95 close enough to 5x108 and they should fit. weeeeelllll we go to look at them that night literally 25 mins after we saw them and called the guy on craigslist. we get there and they are puuuuuurfectly what im looking for!!!! like i fell in love when i saw these. garrett being the awesome friend he is bought them for me for 100 buckaroons and so we are super excited for test fitment when we get back to my garage!!! yea so we get back and i take one wheel off and vwalaaa it doesnt fit cause it 108.23, needless to say i was very upset cause theres not enough metal to the insides of the bolt pattern to really redrill new holes so i guess ill just resell them.

                                any who, here they are in all their non fitment glory









                                blaaaaaaaa such a disapointment : /
