    Is this an original Laguna green car? That's the colour I want to paint my coupe when the time comes.

    I think non-black wheels would be best but I love the look anyway.
    For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!

      Have you thought about shadowlining the door/window trim? The original M-tech II verts were shadowlined. I think it would look better, especially if you are going to stick with black wheels.

        Shadowline trim.
        New Kidneys.
        Silver 15/16 weaves.
        New trunk lid.
        You got the lip but still need a drop.

        I think that is everything from the R3V mantra.

          Yea I want to do the shadowline trim. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to do it? I heard there are kits for the shadowline correct? Or do people just paint them?

            Yes original laguna green car, I just repainted the whole car with the mtech 2 kit. I used glasorit paint which is top notch.

              Ideally you remove the trim and paint it. Considering you just got a respray I don't think you want to try painting it on the car.

                        1. Coilovers, HR/Bil Sports, camber plates
                        2. Euroweaves Nagaro(?) silver ceners, or ix weaves w/ 15mm spacers
                        3. Tune-up, depends on whats been done. Anything done? Nothing done, well.. lots to list.
                        4. Hows the interior? No pics of that.
                        5. + 10 on shadowline!!

                        Nice color and Im wantin on your car. Keep it up!!

                          Lots of choices on wheels, but I think Ronals looks great on a techII (courtesy of imindiegotrick), weave + dish = sweet




                          As for an exhaust, my m-tech II came with a Scorpion exhaust. IMHO, the sound is loud, but not obnoxious, and the tips extend far enough for the mtech II rear valance.

                            Suspension is bone stock, so thats next in line with wheels.
                            Interior, the dash is clean, door cards are clean, only the driver side seat is pretty meshed up and the passenger is ok condition. The back seat has just a little tair on the top. For the interior Im just going to reupholster the seats and thats it.

                            For Tune up heres a list of what I have done, if Im missing something please let me know:
                            Oil change, Water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributer cap and rotor, new raditor, fuel filter, valve cover gasket, all belts except Timing belt because it was changed at 90000 miles, cars at 128000 right now.

                            Shadowlining coming soon!
