My ES100s were less likely to go up in smoke than the Ecstas, but they don't make them anymore...

just a small update..
Picked up some snow tires... and im lovin em, best tires ive ever had. 195/60/15 General Altimax Arctic
got some CHEEEEAPPPP wheels i have no idea who makes them, but they are 6 spoke, 17x7.5 w/ 205/40/17 Dunlop SP Sport FM901s
Got some ZXTuner springs coming thru from my boy drew after he gets his sprints in to drop it a bit. Here we are pushing down on my car to simulate the drop.
Got the FMIC w/ piping (2-45*, 2-90* 2-180*and 2-straight pipes),
27" x 5.5" x 2.5"
And a GTX Elbow for the Throttle body.
Finally got around to putting in some much needed fresher fogs that I've had sittin for a few weeks now. New head lights and clear corners comin soon.
Side by side comparison:
And started cleaning up the BP thats going to be boosted to go in. just degreasing as a prep for paint. getting ready to freshen it up w/ timing belt/wp/ all that good stuff

Since they are 7.5 inch wheels you need a different tire. 205/40/17x7 it should be like 215/45/17x7.5. Thats why they look like rubberbands also cause they are not wide enough and in turn the sidewall is shortened. I don't know how your going to keep your fogs with a front mount intercooler.Cincinnati, ohio Bengals for life
