Great looking swap, but what happened to that iS valence? That, and the obvious suspension question...

Thats what I though, looked odd. Smileys are a nice touch though. Needs gold wheels too.

That is a beautiful engine bay. Nice sleeper. BTW, Did you (ams) go from an auto M20straight to a 5spd S50?

Thanks for all the comments! A few things:

1) Suspension is next and then wheels. Not sure where to go, coilovers or just shock/spring combo...wheels, i'm undecided about. The car is uber-fast, scary actually.

2) The IS valence came like that when i bought the car, i think previous owner just chopped the mid portion and called it a day...fortunately i have to difference valence's to pick from already so i'll put one of them on soon, the other will go on sale

3) I didnt have my car at Levent's, wish i did but it was still being worked on at the time

4) Thanks Sonny for the recommendation, Diego did a fine job!

My immediate plans are to change the Diff from 3.73 to 3.46, spray paint the trim all around, get tints, and try and get that rusty color sorrounding the windshield back to black.

No, it got shrunk, so it will not make an appropriate desktop (I haz BIG monitor).

That is the same motor/radiator/chassis combo I have sitting in the garage.

Fun, isn't it?

Sweet install.

How is the fuel economy, or have you been flogging it the whole time?

It's terrible!!! Its my weekend car, and it gets filled up every weekend. That's why current diff has to go...at the same time, i really enjoy uber-quick lane passes...
