Not too bad of a start. I love second gen coupes with a passion. The tint looks good but those wheels (which I'm sure you bought with the car) have got to go.

Re: mrsnyder0284 undecided Build

yea car looks good and glad to see its a 5-Spd, but the wheels make it look like an alero (spelling off?)

Re: mrsnyder0284 undecided Build

Thanks, i know its not much right now. should have had kybs and drop springs on it right now but i got fucked over on that shit. so now im not sure when im gonna get the suspension all done. hopefully by the end of the summer, then i can get to working on the body panels that need work. then once all that is done...... mmmm engine work.

Re: mrsnyder0284 undecided Build

ah its a good looking car man I'm not a fan of the gold, but at least it looks to be in one solid piece ....

the first thing i would do under the hood is rip that stupid box off that "quiets" the incoming air ... that cleans the engine bay up quick

Re: mrsnyder0284 undecided Build

yeah, ripped that fucker out a while ago. intake will be comming, i am trying to get one thing done at a time. to me, suspension is first..... you can build an awesome turbo car, but without a suspension its not even worth it. since things didn't go well with the KYB's, i think im just gonna save my moneis for agilitys.

Good looking car man, Looks just like mine except for the sunroof, wheels, and sc1 mirrors. Strange options packages these little plastic cars came with. Mine had all the bells and whistles except it had an AM/FM radio, and no sunroof. They even ordered the Leather options but not the seats? (Steering Wheel, Shift knob, and Ebrake handle) Looks like you got Manual windows/locks, SC1 mirrors (probably replaced at some point), and no center console. These are good things if you are gonna race it.

Whats the story with the engine in the back? and why is there no belt on the motor under the hood? How much did you pay for the car? mileage?
