hey all, this is my build thread from another forum. just showing off ;)
some of you know i just moved here from california, but i never made a thread for my car. so here goes.
bought the car last year in july, it was stock, but it had a 5 speed swap and was lowered on springs. i spent some beans on it, and this is the most recent pic of how it sits today:

this is what it looked like the day i brought it home:

first thing i did was get a q45 brake swap, and a j30 diff. a little later i had some money and bought front and rear tein strut bars, with inner/outer tein tie rods. i got tired of faking the funk, and went 5 lug in december, and for christmas i decided to go negative in the bank account and get these:

found these grammies on zilvia, they are really nice, but they arent very wide. forged though, 15lbs each. but, at 17x7.5 +22 all around, they arent wide at all. after rolling around like this i couldnt really figure out what to do next, i wanted to do some suspension work but i was really tired of driving around in this ka and wanted to swap. i ended up doing little things, like removing my wing and my black trim.

then i just kept saving money. i left california in the beginning of september and came to peachtree city, and now im waiting to start school. looking for a set of coils right now, or maybe just keep putting away for a swap. depends if i find a deal or not
here are some older pics of the car aswell:
