LOL... the car is far from beautiful, the camera hides all the ding and dents around the car..

I love to take the car up north for the meet but at about 10 miles a gallon that I'm getting, I wont be driving this thing any where far, may be I'll take the sp instead.

For those who's thinking on changing into 4x4.5 bolt pattern, this may be an alternative to a rear end swap. the first two pictures should give you an idea on what was done to the stock rx3 axle. I also used the SE rear brakes.

Now I have more wheels option to choose from
