Thank u.
Well Just ordered a set of Megan Racing coilovers from ebay, a set of JDM clear side markers, and some LED bulbs for the dome light. Also Lil-Joe101 took my headers to a welder at his job to have a flange made for the second o2 sensor. Should be getting them back next week. Its gonna be kind of slow on ordering parts for a lil bit while Joe is in Japan, he has been a big help to me on this project and figured Id wait til he comes back so I can get more help, lol. I will post pics as soon as I get everything installed so stay tuned. --------------------  |
