Sports

ive got a pair of rebuildable black leather sports for dirt if you are interested.

I might be interested in those seats if iron joe dont want them

[2mAn]

i like my locking handle

[IronJoe]

hmm, non locking?

Ahh, I see it. 51-16-1-848-873.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

oh god, get a non-locking one. pelican sells them pretty cheaply and Cheuk is looking for someone to go in with him to save on shipping.

[IronJoe]

I also need a glove box handle.

[IronJoe]

i thought you were going to lower it??

KYB's drop hats and eibachs are still in the garage. Splitting time between this and the 'vert, ya know.

This is like 5Toes....but successful.

Stuff I still need, must be cheap:
-Working 6 button OBC
-Tools for toolkit
-Defrost switch that doesn't stick
-OEM radio/speakers/whatever you have
-DS HOOD! I will pay handsomely for one in good nick.

Man, this car has come a long way. Drives great, just about everything works now, love it.

Jobs done:
-Replaced trunk lid (clearcoat failed)
-Replaced mirrors (clearcoat failed)
-OEM shift knob
-MattB shift/ebrake boots
-Leather ebrake handle
-Installed vinyl black driver's seat (reskinned)
-Fixed door cards/interior door handles/passenger door catch
-Painted & installed pass fog delete panel


Funny, I replaced the trunk lid with a spoilerless version, thinking "man I can't wait to drill holes in it and get my iS spoiler back on!" But now... I kinda like the spoilerless trunk. I will keep the iS spoiler off for now.

This thing drives incredibly solid, and aside from having an open diff it's pretty much perfect. All the under the hood stuff is done, now I'm just making it pretty and putting some miles on it.



























These iPhone pics turned out gawd-awful, sorry.

[IronJoe]

Dd status.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

That's actually not too horrible, I thought that they were more so I always looked for used ones to no avail.


Is this car going to be a DD or are you going to flip it?

[DrJosh]

Exactly. It was 135 shipped.

[cg138]

I am so bitter that you have a front lip but I dont.

It's only like $110 plus clips or something like that from Blunt...

[IronJoe]

I have some extra clips for when you get one.
