another update of my car with pics....
Here are some more updates....
First pic is a general one with my car and the side with a side skirt...... only new addition is the jdm corners and soon to be in a week mugen front lip (black)
Second pic is a pic of my fully black interior. The pillars and everything are now black including re=wrapped sub box in black vinyl and headliner in black vinyl.
Third pic is a general pic of my engine (working). I cleaned it all up and it looks shpick and shpan. The FPR is on their with the fpr gauge. Soon to be a fixed header bolt, installed injectors, seals/gaskets, and spark plugs.
Enjoy !

your front drivers side tire looks low on air......
your engine bay is always that clean? lol what did u clean exactly.
Also, i think the front end would look 100x better if u got a new OEM bumper, because that cut out grill makes it look cheesy.
I can get you a new oem bumper for under $100.

If you remember torrey, the back tire b4 always got low on air, and I changed the front and backs, I gotta fill the front up again with air.
As for the bay, I cleaned up all the oil that was around the cam seals and such.
The front bumper, maybe a photo chop would really help me now.....Iunno, would it ?

remember how my bumper looks... where yours is cut out in the middle and sides...
u should get an oem bumper, and paint the inside of that grill black, and keep the rest of it green... 1 sec i'll find a pic somewhere.

ok here's a sneak peak of what im talking about....
check the middle of the bumper where your grill is cut out... see how on oem bumpers its black?
If yours was like that the front end would look 100x better.
And that tire thing, bring the tire back, you have to be able to get a warantee replacement.

yah man, I see what your saying, but I just finished painting my front bumper. Maybe if I hit another ditch i'll consider it. Find that pic though, I wanna see what it will look like with the mugen lip....
I could prolly get something for my grill craft as well. First I gotta get my engine done then I might get a new front bumper. Cant wait till the engine mods begin and the tuning

**** torrey, that looks like ur car almost. If you get those rims, ur car will look amazing man. Go for it ! WOW
BTW: I seen u and stef in drive-thru at dewitt tims around iunno, 10:30. I was driving my friends van. She was getting mad at me, hahaha. Anyways, car looks good right now too, but rims on that puppy would just finish it off. Did you end up getting the front end fixed ?
I was thinking about bringing the tire back, but then I remember how long they took, stupid ********. I will be getting new tires in a year anyways, so till then, i'll keep filling up like last year.
Thanks for your input though, i'm really taking it into consideration. It just isn't in my budget right now to spend another $250 on a painted front bumper (including bumper).
Just wanna get my engine fixed and done for the year, then i'll be happy with my car and be able to enjoy it hopefully without any problems.

I ordered a set of rims and they are arriving mid week.
Tires and suspension should be here by this friday too,,, hopefully putting it back together for next weekend.
Changed my rad to a new dual core double sized, got clutch, tbelt, water pump, and a whole wack of other **** replaced. Car runs super smooooth now.
Just need to change my rad supports and maybe a frame tug on the pass side and the front end is mint,,, might do that, might not, it doesnt NEED it, it just doesnt physically look right.
Then last on the list is GSR brakes.
Oh and those cars i posted are the SAME car, its my buddy's car from school.
When we park beside eachother it looks IDENTICAL.

I first tried to wipe up as much as i could with a bottle of HOT water and some hand soap, then i sprayed it everywhere all of over the bay, and closed my hood and took it for a boot around the block.
Did that about 3-4 times and it turned out like that
