Well Ask me any questions, I do plan on going to the Tims meets once I get this leaking radiator problem sorted out. Fixed it with a used one from the fourms and now that one is leaking. I hate oem rads.



























My favourite mod are the hood struts. Closing the hood is a pit of a pain in the assay as I have to close it from the side first, but that prop rod is ugly. Or its tied with the rounded sway bar bolt.


Thanks!

Looks like you have a really nice stock pile of parts there!

This is now your thread, you can post whatever you like in here man. I post oil changes in mine to keep track, when I install different tires so I know how long I have been running them, basically anything to help you with the build and maintenance of your car.

I love long walks on the beach with my girlfriend, until the LSD wears off and I realize I'm just dragging a stolen mannequin around a Wendy's parking lot.

Maybe the car is in transit? Profile still says that he drives a mazda for now.  That's some dedication.  Modding before he even buys the car haha.

Should be a good start for a build
