Major props on your car man. It's always been one of my favorites!

Do you have any high res versions of those pics? They are begging to be desktops...

The only close one I have is after I went through a tank of 110 leaded and had a lot of residue on my bumper.

Yeah, I have 5 megapixel versions of all of those. If you want to send me a PM with the filename of the one you want (zainoX.jpg) with your e-mail, I'll send it to you.

93 is square-like, 99 is round.

Haha. Might as well call it stickied. Only way this thread will die is if it gets closed. Pianoprodigy's FD is too nice!

So clean, simple, but yet agressive! It's how 7's should look.

What springs/shocks are you using? That ride height looks optimal.

Great looking car.

You mention that it was painted recently. I have dents and dings I need to fix also. Aside from those areas, the paint is in perfect condition. I am worried that they will not be able to match this montego blue color very well. Aside from that, it is green in the sun and blue in the shade, I dont think they will ever be able to duplicate that. Were you reluctant to get this paint done? It looks great in the pics, but does the new paint job really stack up to the original?

thx

RXJoey

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I'll try to answer all the questions.

The wheels are Enkei Aegis:
Front: 18x8.5 44 offset 245/35 18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Rear: 18x9.5 45 offset 275/35 18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

Suspension:
H&R Springs (1.25" drop on all corners)
Koni Yellow Shocks (Set 75% firm front, 50% firm rear)

The car was sanded, any imperfections were fixed, and the car was completely repainted.

FMIC is a custom Hybrid. The endtanks and elbows are powdercoated Satin black.
