Thanks man.

It's an interesting black; it's like a root beer black, lol.

But I'm going to paint it white soon

Haha, I too came from hondas and still own a bugeye. Just got myself a FD that needs some work. How does it feel driving all 3 platforms? AWD vs RWD?

Thanks for the comments guys! I'll post a new picture of the car with the FEED Side Skirts later.

As for the lowering, I'm still unsure about that, haha. I plan on buying another set of wheels even all around because these ones are staggered. I'm going for a track set up. The stance on the car is fine with me though. I don't plan on going any lower.

I'd like to upgrade my coilovers as well, haha.

It wasn't too bad actually...it was just labor intensive. The 5 spd swap was the part that kicked my ***. Clutchs are so touchy. The whole process took 9 14 hour days to complete. Time isn't an issue when it comes to passion. Definitely overcame a ton of hurdles along the way.

The car I am getting is an Auto....the 5spd deal fell through since the guy wouldn't come down on the price even though I had proof that the odometer was rolled back....what an idiot. I hear the 5 spd swap is pretty easy on these cars so theres that.

Hows RWD feel in relation to AWD?
