When I first got the car, it had 18s on it. My brother had put these on. I also painted the drum and Calipers Silver but quickly got tired of the rims and the paint.





I added some a few temporary grounds and my MSD coil closely after getting the car.

[mushroom_toy]

Alright after riding a while on the 18s, and after a trip to the mountains it was time for them to come off. So back to stock alloys. Also got the Magnaflow muffler put on since the stock muffler had a hole in it. Also had my headunit from my truck and some subs in the car....got tired of the subs as well., and sold them.







Then Traded my 18" Giovannas to a friend for these 14" Paoline rims.

[mushroom_toy]

Had a bad leak so I stripped the interior out for a while to clean/wash and fix the leak. Found lots of straw...





Leak fixed (was sunroof drains) and clean carpet reinstalled.


Got new spark plug wires and did a tuneup. Also fixed some of the grounds.

[mushroom_toy]

Installed Silverstars and Yellow Fogs.





Repainted my valve cover and added an OEM Sunroof Visor




Had a wreck...I destroyed a van...and got away with this. Honda ftw.

((((( applause )))))

this is gooood stuff, brb .. going to pop some corn

it is good to know the story of the wheels, I was so close to buying some identical to those 18z, but decided it was too much metal too close to the asphalt.. need more rubber and less suspended weight for that to work. In other words, lowered car and tighter spwings.. lol
wonder what happened to Estimated ?

those wheels you have now are so complicated looking, nice though. but from a glance look like S-10 steelies .. no offense, now that i know what they are I appreciate the look.. more pics? more story...

[mushroom_toy]

Fully Painted rear.


Ready for Tunerfest..First time I have ever run this car at the track. It was the most fun I've ever had at a motorsports event.








My very first run! Too bad I got Stomped by a Bushur Evo
