Thanks lol. The FD pictures are more edited, and the weather made for a more colorful picture than how the Cosmo's turned out.
It also helps that the FD is a ridiculously photogenic car.

So this happened recently 
18x9 +24 with a 3mm spacer to clear the brakes up front, 18x10 +35 in the rear, Gram Lights 57 Maximum Pro.
255/35/18 and 275/35/18 RE-11's.
Waiting on an AutoExe intake I ordered to show up, and new brakes and pads all around. Slowly whipping this big girl into even better shape. Eyeballing some Defi BF gauges on YAJ, planning to mount them behind the dash's black "hiding" plexiglass.

I'm originally from Texas, but I'm not sure where the military will be sending me next. So wherever I go, it'll go!
I'll have to take some videos soon, I have an AutoExe intake on order which is supposed to ship in the middle of September.

It was my dream too. The 25 year mark is coming up soon, and I believe the '93-'94's are already eligible for importing under the show car rule.
I'm looking forward to bringing it back too, I imagine I'm going to get a lot of blank stares. The only affordable dream car I have left to own is a 1st gen NSX.

Haven't updated this in some time. I've done a few replacement/upgrading type jobs lately.
A while back I went with StopTech slotted rotors and brake pads, and repainted my calipers black.
(Ignore that condensation in the brake light, it's since been replaced, as has the faded rear bumper. Also ignore dorky dome piece in the 2nd pic)
I also burnt out the old rear control are bushings and replaced them with polyurethane Whiteline bushings. No pics of that process, but boy was it a good time
Most recent job was a Defi gauge install. See the video below for a quick interior power up.

Here's a quick sneak peek of a local photoshoot the car did with a very talented photographer. I look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures and I'll definitely share them here.
As much as I love this thing, I've been slowly thinking about selling it. I keep seeing a handful of 1st gen NSX's driving around and damn......I want one so incredibly bad!

Here's some shots I plucked from the shoot. If you guys got the time, check out the rest of his pictures via his Facebook page called Through These Eyes Photography. There's some cool stuff on there.

That thing is a beauty. Being it's a '90, wouldn't the JC series Cosmo now be legally allowed to import to the US under the NHTSA 25 year rule? That would be pretty sweet actually seeing these in person.

Snagged these bad boys up last week, and threw my set on today along with Swift springs. Aragosta's for my wife and my car! They ride so damn nice...
