It's a bad idea to have 4/5 pt harnesses without a proper roll cage.

Your project is looking good. That lip was a great idea, thanks! I payed around $10 for everything (used L brackets and 3M double sided tape to mount mine). It will work great until I get my corksport lip.

This is a drift car right??? Put some JDM S5 tail light on there and you'll make at at least 50 more WHP. Thats why its so popular with the S4 crowd, you actually gain HP by following the crowd!

yep, +1 for tein products.

i'm running Tein super streets, and they're the ideal setup for how i drive.
3/4th daily driving on street, and the 1/4th for spirited driving on the weekend (if you ever feel like taking it to the track or what not)

There are different opinions on coilovers, but if you're trying to keep it a cheap drifter, just go with k-sports or something similar. Tein is ok, but a bit more expensive. Go the ground control way I know a lot of guys pleased with that set up.

Yep... Thats the 99 dollar CSK seat!!!!

They suck but its better than stock!!!! I can mount it flat to the floor... (Im 6'3")

Are those ground controls any good??? and if so what struts are you running??? (not stock i hope... Would be too soft)

I want a stiff ride!!!!

4- tires are kinda beefy... what like 365/70s??? try on some 195s in the rear and 205 in front
5- wash, wash, and power wash off all that dirt and oil you have on your tranny and engine bay
