I am aware of this. I want to lower it, but there is two problems; 1; it's my daily, 2; I can't afford it right now. Its not going to be a "feature" just if they have event coverage of all the cars I might show up, Ryan did shoot a shot of my car at the end of the day, so whether or not it ends up on the blog is a different story.

Ohhh I was thinking it was like a magazine or some **** haha


Well the first "problem" is kinda ehh.. my skirts and front bumper are an inch off the ground, and I go eeeverywhere in my car. I also have 12 & 10kg spring rates, and drive shitty LA streets/freeways every single day. Soooo yeah.

The second is understandable.. but for the price of powder coating your wheels, you could've bought at least springs or something.

Went outside and snapped a shitty phone pic of my almost stock(exhaust) '91. Took off one of the FTP lenses to clean one and everything that held it in place was rotted. So I'm looking to buy new ones.

Thanks! She's only got 60k miles. Will be buying Crown Vics if this job interview goes well and then coilovers, either odura or mazdaspeed lip from Corksport, g35 mudguards and maybe an OEM duckbill spoiler or Wangan.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Where the bolts screwed into the back of the FTP's (plastic) was completely rotted.

Edit: Didn't mean to double post -.-. I'm used to s2ki where I could delete my posts and edit the quote into my other post.

Find 13B Etc. on here as a vendor. He sells FTP alternative lenses that, in my opinion, look much better than the original design. Especially on dark cars. Plus, they're far, far, far less expensive than OEM.

ryan, this spoiler wraps all the way around the hatch and then extends like the oem spoiler. I rarely see them. I dig the wangan tho, I wanna grab a jrx version eventually. And yes my intercooler is bent, thats on the list as well! I might lower it just a bit so it's not as noticeable. It doesn't leak so i'm not in a hurry to replace it.

i believe the wing your refering to is the Yoursport wing. it isn't sold here in the US. heres a link to a some pics (sorry not my pc or else i would already have them saved, which i do on my laptop but my charger failed) but JRX rotary makes a similar wing that's a little more aggressive. heres a link
