Didn't know this place existed......

Nice forum you guys got here, wish I would have found out about it sooner. (jumped on an auto w/ 37,000 miles not knowing about the tranny problem until I read this forum)

Oh well, got a deal on it and it was clean as hell. Thought I'd post some pics, had it for a month now and I love it. Haven't done anything yet except tint and small drop (tanabe 1.75/1.5'') Installed my JL 12's as well. Mod list in order...Need to get some rims first and after seeing the Tafetta's with the black rims/polished lips I'm hooked. After that intake/headers, I'm passing on exhaust, and then some NOS. I've learned a ton in the short time I've been lurking here and want to thank you all.


First night I got it, of course it rained.


Tinted it the next day.



Lowered it the third day.




Strange pinstriping on hood...





.......at first, I hated it. But now, it is kind of growing on me. The more I look at it, the more it looks like a middle finger. I'll probably get it removed, but its not on the top of my list right now.

Glad I found this place and I'll be keeping an eye out for any Arizona meets.

Peace.

Welcome! So which Tanabe springs did you go with??? The NF210s are only supposed to drop it 1" F/ .5" R, so did you get different ones? Curious because I was thinking about these springs. How do they ride? Did you replace your shocks too or just the springs?

Welcome to the club!

You should debadge the '3.2 CL-S', and leave only the A on the back.

I'm partial to SMR, but I definitely like the CL in TW as well.

I must have gotten different ones, cause I'm pretty sure it was1.75 front/1.5 back. Don't have the receipt or the box anymore. Does Tanabe have a sister company that you know of? Anyways, the rides great, not harsh at all. Was going to go lower like all my previous cars but I'm broke and can't afford coilovers yet. Stock shocks now, soon to be replaced.
