Welcome aboard, I've saw a picture of your ride posted somewhere before. Do you have an air adjustment to slam it that hard? Can't imagine it being that low for actual driving. More pictures are always welcome!

Yes the car was originally Tender blue but i think it was repainted a slightly darker shade many years ago. A friend bought the car a few years back, after doing a few minor things he planned on selling it. unfortunately someone was test driving it and got in a accident. smashed the front passenger side pretty good. the guy paid him full price and he still kept the car. It sat outside for a while and he didnt really want it. i paid $500 for it. The interior is mint and it runs like a champ. i found a new fender, had the damage pulled, and did some minor paint work to get it to that point.

Yeah i was one of the choices for the 2011 reader car of the year

AWESOME! PM me. i have alot of car buddies and we plan on having meets

Awesome car. I've seen that posted in a few places and I love the stance. Nevermind the RB bars, pick up one from RE-Speed.com. It's hollow so it's lighter, I think by 10-20 lbs, and it's thicker, thus stiffer. They have tons of great parts you might want to look into so peruse the website.

thanks! i'll keep that in mind.

I have also seen your car posted around, I think you asked a question about your wheel size and offset because you really really wanted those 16x9's if I'm not mistaken... Welcome and good luck!!

Awesome car. Not a fan of stretched tires personally, but amazing paint and classy wheels.
