JDMLJ's Milano EG

[JDMLJ]

Here's a few pictures of my EG,

Just to give an idea, it looked like this for a while..pretty ghetto and shit.





After alot of blood, sweat and tears, i turned it around into this..













And.. things to come





Cheers, Lee!

Looks good, Not sure why you chose to spray it milano red though

So many nicer OEM colours.

What I was thinking. And more colors that don't turn pink after two years.

Not if you look after your paint work correctly..

The car (and me) is crying out for new wheels... Can't wait to see the ones you're teasing us with

looks like a lot of work to just go from busted to stock. get some wheels and it'll look nice

Some may disagree, but I like the simple OEM look... It definitely looks much improved from where is was

Cheers for the positive feed back guys, much appreciated!

Thanks man, its been used and abused its whole life, i wanted to get it to a stage where it looked, and drove.. like a little old lady had it from new, kept it in her garage and only used it to go to the shops twice a week, with me just adding lowering springs and a few cosmetic modifications.

Really though, to get it to the stage it is now, i ditched the original 175k oil burning SOHC d15b2 motor with a fresh 98k SOHC d15b2 replacement out of a friends car, to then convert it from obd0 to obd1, with a SOHC D16z6 inlet manifold and J's Racing 'whales penis', 4-2-1 manifold and a full 2.25 sports exhaust system.. ive also replaced the whole interior with a JDM VTi fold flat interior in grey with purple cloth, and a Luisi steering wheel, DC sports rep short shifter and Trust Grex gear nob and SiR Del Sol front seats..

Other than that, its just the few cosmetic changes ive added whilst owning the car, JDM tailgate, JDM style tail light, Smoked amber vision indicators, USDM city lights, 6K HID's, and White Crow rep front bumper with an SiR front lip.

All to do now is some much needed coilovers, fit up my wheels, replace a few bushes and enjoy the car for the rest of the summer!

More pics of the wheels soon yo!

[JDMLJ]

Well I better update this really?

So, picking up where I left off, I painted the wheels up in frost white & fitted a set of 195 45 Toyo T1R's on them & it sat like this,









Rocked that look out for the summer.. other things happened like buying a HKS Silent High power & to date the worst thing I've ever done.. low cars & under LCA systems do not mix, I've ripped it off 5 times now, but it does look nice.





I then got bored of the white wheels & decided I wanted a set of Work Eqip 01's, but after researching for months over the winter for some and only finding them in stupid sizes, offsets and shit I decided to leave it, but as a stop gap I looked into a set of Rota Zero Plus & after a set come up forsale I bought them & fitted them!

Here's how it currently sits















Cheers!
