Enjoying the restoration thus far. I went to the body shop today and made an appt to paint the side skirts, hood and a front bumper cover if and when I can find a 99 spec.

Still have to work on cold start. This time not enough fuel, especially in this cold weather. Battery needs to be replaced and will attempt tweaking the calibration again.

like where your car is going !!


as for enkei wheels . I am getting aswell. the NT03+M in silver. or hyper black if I can get them in the right size

I'm thinking about 18x 8.5 +38mm and 18× 9.5 +40mm with 235/40 18 .. 265/35 18. I'm not sure if the front requires a roll or not. I'm trying to avoid that. but if you go that route let me know lol. I like the idea of having 17 as well. but the offset and size are sort of limited as far as I can tell

thanks! I have a few other modded cars, but never drive them that fast. I didn't want to over mod again.

im thinking hyper black as
well. the 17's are too small,IMO.

im going to research more before I purchase. I think 10's fit in the rear.

does anyone know what to do with the door handle cables? Upgrade? Mines need replacement. If not, i know I could make them....

Took off the intake manifold and found more vacuum leaks- gasket in the tb wasn't seated and quite a few silicone hoses are worn out....
preplaced a power steering line as well...
