        Not specifically. I'm considering just repainting the rockers black cause they definitely need it. But I've also been considering a set of iS skirts if I could source some for a decent price. Then I'd more than likely have to get some type of rear apron to match, but who knows. Like I said, the car has come a long way, but I'm far from done.

          Very nice. Maybe a metric mechanic turbo motor in the future?

            That would be a riot, but oh so pricey. The MM stroker m42 is downright sweet, but I can't justify spending I think roughly eight grand if memory serves. Plus I'd rather do the project myself.

                  So convenient enough, my car must have known that it passed 200k, because on the way to work on Saturday my fuel pump decided to crap out on me.

                      How hard was it to replace all the timing components? I am looking to do this on my buddies car soon.
