Finally - NEW pics of my car ....

They might not be good, but hey.. atleast it's something


Please not that the mileage did not come in clear, and that it should say 167,384 and not 67,384

It was hard to get fully underneath the car with it on the ground still and not lifted. A pic of the main cat - (new) from the muffler shop.

Ahh, thanks to Error402 for uploading the pics for me. I didn't feel like making a big flood out of my thread, and reply 13 times to upload all 13 pics. So here are the rest:

model emblem:




momo pedals (great feeling of heal and toe... that's how I learned how to do it):




Her rearend:



momo shifter and boot - oh, and ebrake handle:



Steering wheel:




One of the many pics of my car and I at the autocross Oct. 19-20th for OCTOBERFAST



again, thanks error402 for the help

I always hear people wanting to do a conversion from 4 lugs to 5 - how come? What's really special between the two?

5 lugs mean bigger brakes in the front, and bigger and vented brakes in the rear. Thats definantly a plus

lol thanks, but it's not a sticker ..... it's more like a magnated :P

but ya, I get alot of people telling me i'm rice for a few things, like the obbnmotorworks.com banner and such, but I guess it's really to their own prefs on what's rice and not ya know?

by the way...

"rice" indicates a Japanese car with Japanese modifications .. like from AutoZone ..... I've have Italian upgrades , they are classy and nice...

Ahh, I understand now. Thanks I mean, I knew we had a bit of an advantage with the 5 lugs, but just didn't know the other half.

1 more lug, that's a 25% improvement

so christi do you work for obbnobb or just love their stuff or what?

edit: also, how do you like the wheel. i've been looking into a new one since mine is cracking at the joins.

Yes, I co-work with my brother, Marc Albertson, who is the owner of the business

The wheel is really good. Feels wonderful, I could not compare the stock wheel to the momo wheel, as I never drove with a stock wheel before.
