newest mod is circuit sports 60mm wheel studs all the way around.
lowered it soem more and added negative camber. youll see i had to lower it the wrong way with the springs. this is because the body will not thread down i tried everything i had on hand. Thats ok this is onyl a track drift car now. its off the road.
Took the car out for a quick drive to enjoy my work.
This is what it looked like when i first bought August 21st 2006 I hope to soon have it back running with a nice new engine build and green new color along with the finished complete body kit.
This is in ontraio somewhere by the great lakes.
Updates Feb 27th 2011 paint job and running again.
Awsome to see it all one color again i did this over the last 3 days at my local auto club. Not too bad at all. Im happy Photos give no justice to the collor looks way better in person.
