first few things were the usual... badgeless, grill spoiler, suspension, tint, exc... threw on a carbon hood and shaved the markers out of the front bumper for good measure.

ran it like that for a year, then started getting a little more serious. next up was better suspension. H&R race w/ bilstein HD's, and decided it was time for a decent set of rollers. RXII's with powdercoated red barrels, pearl black centers, and bbs caps to finish them off.

next up was to make the engine bay a little cleaner. shaved a few brackets/studs and moved some of the harness around to clean things up a bit. moved the battery to the trunk while i was at it.

most everything is out. only thing left to do is unbolt the mounts and drop the motor out. the plans are full motor rebuild with some go fast stuff, along with a smoothed and tucked bay. probably some more body work somewhere along the ling as well. i guess we will see how carried away i get
