Those are some nice high reso images, like that mint engine block!

[FamiliaGT]

Well, everything is going smoothly. The engine is well into its break in and running better and better everytime. The bumper and headlights/blinkers all went on without a problem, and they really look good! Ile take some pics later today If I have time.

Oops, ment to update this.

Recently installed a Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror with Compass and Out Side Temp readouts. Heres the latest pics.

Old Engine out....


New engine in...

Starting the final steps... But ran into my stupidity. Once fixed, she fired up and purred like a kitten....after about 2 hours.


And as she sits now.


And a very crappy shot of my newest add on. 30+ Horsepower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's lookin good Kyle. Nice work.

[FamiliaGT]

Mike!! What do ya think? Recognize her? :D Its commin along, and im trying to be as conservative as possible as so far as appearance.

Hopefully she will see paint within the next year if finances are in order.

I do have one question for you. When you owned this car, what was your goal with it? Lightly modded sleeper, DD, or anything else?

I like it man.. I gotta say though... that mirror... Looks outta place. But I'm a picky f#$@.

[DeeAOne]

your car looks great man. that bumper looks really nice on it! i like the corner lights as well. where did you score those?

[808]

Those would be the JDM clear corners. The EDM ones don't have the little amber bubble.

No, I side with you on that. But, its function over form. It works awesome and actually looks alot better in person, as its actually almost perfectly the same charcoal color as the dash.

The Corners are just as 808 said, JDM verson corners. You can get them from CorkSport, but they wont work with USDM stock headlights. I bought the Ebay clear H4 headlights and they are a great match I think. Just got a set of Bi Xenon headlights for it too. The single Xenons where great, but I needed a Hi Beam for really dark areas.

Hey kyle... want my sweet JDM grill? It's up for sale.
