Wow been a long time since I've updated this. Just got the timing belt and water pump replaced and got an oil leak around the crank seal fixed. AND I replaced the radiator. I've put in a short ram and some new spark plug wires, next is a 7th gen short shifter.



Got some goodies in the mail smile.gif awaiting strut mounts so I can put these bad boys on





These are some mods I will do soon:
Cold air box
Red brake calipers
SS-III grill
JDM tails

Mods to come in the next year:
SS-III splitters/sideskirts
Side marker relocation
