It's not doing too bad, considering the low-budget upgrades and slow process. I started with the rims... thought that would be all I need - right? Nah. It looked funky, so I HAD to drop it. 17" R/H Evolution w/Progress Springs.

Yeah - It looked pretty good , but more importantly - the ultimate change in suspension has been feeling real nice.
While I was at the springs-stage, exhaust and window tints were on my mind.

Since my first car show, I've always wanted a project car ... and so it begins. It's still in its early stages, but looks pretty dope so far.

After making those basic modifications to my car - I was addicted - and low on cah. Since then, I've made few low-budget upgrades. Some of which (graphics/decals) were provided by my company for advertising.

Driving in a minimally customized car has made me an addict to automobile tuning. I've recently made a few new upgrades. Tokico s/r struts to combat all that bottoming out on the rear passenger side! I still happens - not as much though. Any thougts on how I can tighten it up a bit more?

I also just got my R/S Akimoto intake. It rocks! No pics yet - it just snowed here in the midwest and my hands were too cold after installing it. It' s a nice little upgrade to the engine bay -more torque/horsepower/sound - I notice it in the mid-to-high 3000's.

Some basic interior work... I soon after applied a matching yellow grille. (those eyeholes,not pictured, were rough!) I'll have some new pics soon of the engine bay (intake) and grille.
