The first picture of my car, after it was nicely washed and waxed. You wouldn't believe there are 2 small dents in the side that you can see!

Here are my new NGK Spark plug wires (NGK Iridium IX plugs in the holes, have zip ties on the coil pack ends of wires to keep them on, another story), along with the rest of the engine bay - CAI, front strut bar, and brass battery terminals. This was prior to changing out the exhaust manifold.

Next is the new lights that I put in, Xenon bulbs from Ebay - nice and white/blue!

Here are the headers from Ebay, the chrome started discoloring the first time I drove it.

And the old center console unit (1998 LX), versus the new one (2000 ?), a sweet change.

Okay, so here's the next update. Beginning of June I went to Alpharetta, GA for an autoshow - well driving back to Savannah from Atlanta, the rear wall of my tire broke, so I used the opportunity to get new rims and tires - 16x7 Sport Edition E3 Satin finish with Pirelli 205/50/16 P6 tires.

Great job on the 626. I've been looking for many of the parts you have and I can't find them anywhere. I drive a '98 626. Can you tell me where I might find the air intake and headers? Thanks in advance.

Hey, that sucks big time that you got rearended! Is the car unrepairable or can they repair it. You put a lot of work into that car for it to be sitting in a junk yard somewhere. I will soon have new pics on my page. I added rain gaurds, hood bra, a big symbol on the back window, and took the pin stripe off (it turned brown from all of dirt) check it out sometime.
P.S. Those rims are awesome on that car!
