whats to live without falling in love? even if it is with a machine. the emotional drive towards it could very well be the reason this machine will continue to function, without so no care would be given to it ere-go it would be pointless to drive this machine. is it worth buying a car just to satisfy getting from point A to point B? I think not. I have done so and hated that car but now after having a car i can appreciate and love then, i can enjoy the time spent with it so that way one day when the time comes to part...that time would not have been wasted. If you cant show love to a car then might as well forget showin love to anything else you plan on spending money, time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears on

All good points.
I understand the facts.
I'm just sort of jokingly saying all of this - you know...
Love can be taking really good care of the car...
That's what I do.

Just like what happened to my dads car, he was driving along minding his business, and someone goes and hits him.
It's usually not you, but the others out there.

If anything does happen, God forbid, you won't be feeling down for days.I said enjoy it, but don't fall in love with it. I wash my car as much as the next guy, I park away from other cars to prevent door dings, and all that good stuff. I take care of my car, I enjoy it. But if someone breaks in, steals it, or hits it, will I be sad? Yeah, it sucks, but life goes on. There are other great cars out there.

I'm pretty @#$!'n low by where I live's standards.
The sway bar is Tein too.
The angle of the pictures makes it look high.
My car has the double take effect, look again at the side view.
Anymore where I live and Ill not be able to travel more than a couple clicks or get in my driveway.

Dam*t guys, my bad.
I meant strut bar.
I just realllllly must subconsciously like the word sway bar.
I don't have it on, yes, the previous owner has it and's giving it to me when he has a chance.
Its painted black.
I will take pictures when I get it and install it.
I remember there is some other suspension work done.
Its all painted black, I really can't remember what it is.
I'm going to talk to him soon about it...
Does a company called Progress sound like something?
I faintly remember there being something by progress on it.
Or Comptech - I really really forget.
I know he told me that he had everything painted black so it cant be seen/noticed.
Hey, it was late when I posted

My bad that I got it all mixed up.
I tried at least
...and I don't make spwelling and grammar, mistakes!
I have all the spare parts that he pulled out, like half of them, old suspension, cut out cats, old mid muffler, other suspension parts, headers, down pipe, ect.
I have to go get another truckload eventually...
I'm going to ask him and report back.
Otherwise I'm going to be back in this spot!
BTW everything done is stealthed out.
I've got the bills for the parts so I'll take a look.

02type-s how low are you running?
I really think I'm low for where I live - kinda high performance German ish. sorta ride feel.
Enough to destroy the front 19" tires in a couple year's or so only with summer use.

Welcome to British Columbia Canada.
They dont like them in your windshield.
Grill looks lame, thus use a holder.
I have Injen holders but I took them off as they cover the insuance stickers.
As a new driver, you dont want any attention from the police.
Right now im set up in "do not attract attention mode"
I have the blue/white turnsignal bulbs, the 19" drugdealer" rims, used to have full tint all the way arround.
This car looks alooooot lower on the 19's...
It drops to like an inch or so of clearance - actually.
Changes the whole demeaner of the car.

Those front headlights are sexy!
I'm looking at led white/yellow LED's
I have blue LED's but the cops are on that where I live!
I like the idea of LED fogs... There's a 9006 bulb like that:

I love the clear side marker lenses!
The light is amber inside atm.
The original amber lens thing sticks out allllot - but then I guess people would see them...
I have them in my garage...
These flush lights are nice... I like 'em...
I do have DRL's.
There's some blue halogens in there.
The fog lights have halogens that mimic HID's quite well (4300k)...
One died as the lens chipped so now it looks off with one yellowish halogen (after I patched the hole).
What should I do for the fogs?
3000k or 4300-5000k HID's or LED 9006 bulb?

I wonder how many legit A Specs ever made it into the US.
In Canada hey we get special models like the Acura CSX (and the CSX Type S (Civic Si with more HP)) the EL and and some LMTD. EDT. Civic packages.
There are soooo many of these EL's and CSX's on the road here!
Crazy hey!
