CURRENT with painted wheels:
 I figured I might as well start a progress thread since I have a lot of spare time at the moment. When I first bought the car it was just a form of temporary transportation until I could find something newer, until I found this site o_O. I stumbled across the car on autotrader.com and couldn't help but notice the perfect condition it was in. Perfect paint, pristine grey leather interior, and flawless under the hood. I was only tentative because of how little power it had, but it gets great gas mileage so that's a plus. I first fell in love with 6th gens playing gran turismo 1 back in the day, and always wanted to have a gt-four. Here are a few photos since I bought her about a year ago:   New wheels:  In desperate need of spacers/better offset:  20mm spacers installed in the rear, along with clear sidemarkers and corners:  lowered on megan springs and KYB shocks w00t  Lacking front flushness, in need of spacers:  The other day installing new speakers:  New shift knob + 7th gen short shifter   Much more to come.

More mods and more pics please
I can't help noticing that 3SG_____ in your plate, Is it a sign? Or can't you do it in California? -------------------- Mike W

Haha that's actually the original plate that came on the car in 1996. Just a coincidence. California has some pretty strict guidelines for swaps, but I'm still planning on doing a swap  I'll find a way.
