Well Meiogirl, did you get the wax on yet?

If you're lazy like me, try Klasse. It looks great, but best of all, it's easy as hell to apply. It seems expensive at first, but I've been waxing the FD, 2 miatae, and a Lightning twice a year for over 4 years (2 on the FD) on the same bottle. Since you probably removed the wax that's on there, it's a good opportunity to start fresh with a new "system". I hear the Meguiar's NXT stuff is good too.

How much did the Volks set you back? I've had my eye on a set lately, but I'm not sure about gold rims on a VR. Yours look great, though.

wow looks very nice. Two suggestions though.
1. remove the pin stripe
2. put a 99's spec lip on the front bumper in the mean time.

Other then that the car is pretty sexy. If I saw a chick driving a white FD I'd stalk her

jack i was waiting for you to see. i kept the florida club sticker on the rear window. havent installed the secondary pipe yet, i will as soon as we get the garage in order.

ill be waxing her this weekend, you guys got me paraniod.

the tires i have in the rear are BFgoodrich Gforce TA KDWs (17/45/275). I had them all around but the profile is too square and was rubbing in the front reallly bad. I switched the fronts to gforce sports and that fixed my problem.

gideon i bought these rims from aznplayer(BJ) off the boards. he gave me a good deal, $1200, and they were in perfect shape. i didnt want 5 spokes at first but they looked really good on the car when we dropped them on, i couldnt resist.

I would suggest a C-West Lip.
or the YMS Yellow Hat Mooncraft lip.


But Since You're Getting The J-Spec font end...that would be good i guess.
haha

distilled vinegar does a pretty good job at stripping wax, as well as getting off water spots. that stuff made my car shine. hahaha

you must have a pretty good perception of high tolerances. . . cause whoa. . . those new wheels are CLOSE to that curb.

Use Palmolive.... It will soften your hands while you wash your FD...

Fisa,
The car looks great, I really enjoyed that one as it actually had a place to put things in the trunk. The touring with the Bose system doesn't leave much room. You need to go ahead and get the R-1 lip from Ray at Malloy, there about $116 shipped. My car nnede paint when I bought it and can you believe it (the paint hasn't gotten any better) go figure. Oh well most of my engine bay work is about done, Pettit high flow turbo's, install the polished TB, polish the IC and then on to paint. Funny you have the club sticker on and mine came off when I had to replace the hatch (still have the sticker hanging on the hatch on the side of the shed though) The club pretty much folded so it's a rare sticker (-: Take care and let me know if you want o get anything else done. Jack
