clean.

It would look even cleaner if you remove that 3rd brake light from the rear spoiler. White is the best color for EGT's IMO

Well it's been a while.. what to say? Since the last photo was posted, I ran into some health issues and had to regroup in a less busy town, as a loner. So I'm doing much better now. Onto the updates..
The car is now lowered on D2 coilovers, has a twm short throw shifter, a 3" intake, ac and ps delete, a rear strut bar, front and rear tie bars, a custom pacesetter zx2 header and trubendz catback, 6000k hid kits on the headlights and fog lights, clear corners with switchback led's, delrin crossmember bushings, and a pcv catch can. It's a pretty great ride.

I'm so happy I've had the pleasure of driving this machine. It brings a smile to my face and sometimes I get butterflies hitting the round-abouts at autocross speeds. There's also a 45 mi hill climb from my town to the next that I occasionally stretch the legs of this machine on. I love how the coilovers perform on winding mountain roads. They preload with enough throttle and the tires grip firmly on the pavement. The weight reduction has done wonders for braking and acceleration.

Much is left to be done. I have a spare steering rack de-powered and ready to swap in, as I just received my energy suspension bushings yesterday. The front K member has a bent stud, and I am considering swapping out for a zx2 K member, as well as the 25mm factory sway bar. The rear sub frame also has a stripped out sway bar mount. Pretty frustrating! I've chased the threads with no luck.
I just bought my first air compressor, and I'm close to swapping out the clutch and flywheel for a 10lb chromoly along with a klze multi friction. Seems like a good combo for my goals. I have some camshafts at Delta for some 264 regrinds. They should drop right in with OEM hydraulic lifters. I also have some adjustable timing sprockets waiting for the install. It's gonna be a badass little ride.. can't wait for the future. Well, after a thousand words, I now provide some photos:

Forgot to mention I added a slim fan and notched the radiator support to bring the radiator 1" closer to the front of the car.

goddamn I love that roof wing, and the gold wheels look aces.
