    First Intro Pics before the Second teardown (56k SOL)

    Well, I'm about to get this thing repainted again and reliased I have taken hardly a single picture of it... So, I shot some this weekend. They are kinda boring and I'm going to go shoot some with a decent background someday. Here's the quick skinny on it.

    Automatic to Manual swap
    Bilstein matched Sport package
    Various odds and ends all over
    Blah Blah Blah

    It's about to get a new paint job (same color) from a decent painter. I'm going to the stock IS lip and a Ryan G splitter (PS, I need to by one from you Ryan ASAP.. If your still making them). It's also got a new engine in the red building about to get dropped into it. You'll notice the smashed fender, that happened 4 days after I got it out of the paint shop from some dingus lady backing into me. It's getting replaced also.

    Enjoi.






    Not such a pretty bay, but it will be very nice soon







    Getting the seats recovered at the beginning of the year. Don't want to loose the heated seats before winter.

    Sirius all the way

    I love looking at the stick



    It wasn't easy making changing that from a selector to a shiftor



    Yep.. I'm such a crazy wrencher. The hardest conversion of them so far..

    Beached







    Fully Flared



    So.. It;s a tree.. I was bored..



    A little preview of a freinds in the works. Damn. I sure do look short. . . and kinda fat (like skinny guy fat). Crap

        You can either swap in a whole air-bag manual assembly ....or you can just remove the auto brake pedal from your assembly and install the manual pedals .

        The latter is waaay easier .
        You can use non-airbag pedals to add to your assembly ...and you can do it while still mounted .

          Well, it's a decals king one and I really want to get away from fiberglass. I might try and re-create it with an ABS welder and some plastic. I should do a right up on mounting it due to it being a pain in the ass...

          yours was airbagged, right? how did you go about pedals?
          Yep. I used the original pedal box from the car and stole some pedals from a non-airbag car (I don't think it made a difference). I welded the helper spring tab on and all is good..

            What wheels are those? The car looks very good, one you clean up the engine bay and interior that thing will be clean.

                ASA AR1's .


                If you like the Rieger style lip then you should try the one offered/made by Fil from Eurostyle Designs .
                Its a composite fiberglass/poly mix and is very flexy .

                        Teager nailed it.. They are ASA AS-1's with 15mm spacers up front and 20mm in the back.

                        If anyone needs wheel spacers, I found a great place that machined them for me. It was $60 a pair. You give them the hub sizes and they make them for whatever you want.

                        I'm painting it due to the chips that have popped up over the last 12 months. They didn't spray a clear coat or chip guard on the front. It's driving me crazy...

                        Plus.. I can't take this fender any longer

                          So how does he sell his products? I take it selling his kits is just a part time hobby.
