This is my '89 626 LX. I plan to turn her into a real sleeper by installing a turbocharged motor and transmission from an MX6 GT.
I wont be adding huge spoilers or crazy big wheels but would like to lower the car a bit and add Tokico blue struts to increase the handling. I also plan to add a small wing to the trunk and paint the car, not sure what colour yet, perhaps silver.
My only modification so far is the wheels. They are Riken gold mesh aluminium and chrome with a 10mm offset, making them stick out about 1.25" further than stock giving the car a much more attractive stance and better handling. I'm not sure I really like the gold so I am considering painting the wheels either black or body colour.(I wont paint the chrome part of course)

I painted the wheels metallic graphite gray and I'm very happy withthe results!
Sorry about the poor quality photos, I need a better camera. :(
