    Some driveway pics of my jalopy.

    I guess it's not really a jalopy, that's just what I call it when it isn't working, hence the driveway pics. I would go out a do a little photo shoot but my clutch master cylinder broke the other day, so it's stuck in the driveway for now. Over the past winter I replaced all the gaskets from the Hg and up, also had the head inspected along with a full valve job. I also replaced the exhaust with an IE header to straight pipe mid-section and an IE/ebay cat-back. Oh yeah the suspension setup is bilstien sports with h&r sports, the front springs had a dead coil removed to try even out the rack. Front and rear have about the same wheel gap which is what I wanted instead of the usual h&r sport reverse rake.











    ^the under dash panel is out because of the broken master cylinder.
    Couple engine bay pics as well.





    Thanks for looking

      Its only been on for a week but no raspyness yet.. It's actually only a little louder than my stock exhaust was which is really nice.

          Your engine bay looks really good with those headers and black intake manifold and valve cover.

                          I picked up a set of kosei k1 today at the junk yard, nothing wrong with them other than crap offset, tires, and i would need hubcentric rings. I might try get some new tires/spacers/hub rings and run the koseis for a while or just re-sell them. I haven't decided yet.

                              I picked up some cheap ones from walmart and stuck them in the door pocket, works pretty good.
