    Over the weekend i finally got around to replacing my rear shock mounts. The old ones were completely shot.

    Also got the E90 drop hats and MR2 KYB AGX shocks installed in front. After i took this pic I realized I forgot the dust boot and bump stop. Doh!

    I'll get some pics of the ride height when it settles. Overall the car feels great now, just need to get the clutch replaced. I decided to go with the DJButtchug special. M20 flywheel and F1 Stage 2 clutch. Got the flywheel from a local guy and he was nice enough to resurface it for me.

    And the clutch came, but I'm still waiting on the correct throwout bearing and flywheel bolts. M20 starter is on it's way, too.

    Mr. Chug, did you use the M20 starter, or did you swap the pinion gears?

        Kool! Turbo sounds FUN! The style 5's really change the appearance of the car from that first pic of it.

        I want turbo too... :(
