Dear God, enough with the teasing, lets see more pix .

BTW is that a Celica in the first picture ?

 

Freakin awesome but how did you keep this from us since April!?

 

Absolutely amazing. Keep it coming.

 

Sub'd, Can't wait to see more pics!

 

Looks awesome!

I love your photos!

 

Thanks for the kind words all. I've been on AZ since 2000 if you can believe it and this is my first forum/home! Excuse the pic quality below as they are cell phone shots.

Here is one of the early pics, 100% stock. I'm not a collector and absolutely hate how the car looks in stock form, so made a few of the aesthetic changes. Some purists may object to my changes, but I didn't build this car to sit in a museum.





And here is a work in progress pic (prior to the spoiler) being installed.


You'll notice that I'm much lower in this pic compared to the shot in post #1. This is my ideal riding height, but the exhaust needs to be adjusted and also plan on installing a ride height kit to the front coilovers, similar to what I have on my NSX. Also, you'll notice that the camber is pretty aggressive in the rear. I hope to have that adjusted with a custom camber kit as mentioned before. Unfortuantly, not too many options for these old cars. I think I may possibly have the most money tied into the suspension when all said and done!

 

Wow looks so much better with your modifications.

Nice work man.

 

I've always wondered how you would adjust those mirrors that sit on the fenders like that. Is it electronically or is it manually controlled since it's an older car?

And any car that is dropped with the right offset wheels will look better than when it was stocked. I LOVE your setup!

 

 

looking good!

 

Wow, great looking car Synth. I love the color. The stance looks good also. Hopefully I can see this thing at a future FNL?

 

I saw the before photo and don't even really like how the car looks...you made it perfection.

 

that is just too cool...

is that front air dam/reflector something you added on?

 

Amazing how plain that car looked before and how good it looks afterwards!

guessing this is your car then? saw it on instagram a few weeks ago

 

Straight gangster, love it!! In for progress

 

I can't get over how good the Hakosuka (Boxy Skyline) looks. That and the R32 and R33 are tops in my book stylistically.

 

WOW great car and in for more pics progress

 

Awesome purchase! Conrats!

I need to make more money.

 

Is this coming to us for any paint work?

 

whats the silver car?

 

 

Sweet. I'm definitely in for updates.

 

Hope not. But we'll see. Hit me up on IM. Give me a quote on an engine bay paint job (including removing the motor).

 

More on this in a bit.

 

Thought of your thread yesterday...got Forza and Xbox for Christmas and was finding my way around it:

 

I'd hit it.

 

doooooopeee.

 

wow...just...wow.
