have a few things that i want to do but not sure.

thinking about raising the boost abit possibly to a bar for now when I get a exhaust from gtschris.com have heard good remarks about them.

hks ssqv

lowering the car.not sure whether to stick springs in or go for coilovers

theres a two set of wheels nearby for sell 16" buddyclubs and 18" not sure of make.would prefer the 16" buddyclubs as 18" would kill it and make the handling awful.

as for inside drop my kenwood dvd player small sub for behind the passenger seat.

Momo millenium steering wheel. had one in the last mr2 i had it had a trd badge in the middle but i cant find one anywhere the same.

If you use it as a daily drive, I'd personally stick with stock suspension.

Ah ok, just down to the condition of the roads in your area then I guess. I know with the state of the roads around here, I'd have a broken back within days if I had coil overs :lol:

Oh god you're right, it looks massive!! Pretty certain the TRD horn buttons won't fit in that case :(

Console yourself with the fact that you have a gorgeous looking car, I'm certainly jealous!

ok ive found to different types of rims but will most likely need hubcentric spacers to bring them out flush with the arch and to prevent them fouling with the struts. am i right?
the rims are off hondas
the rims are 17or a set of 16"

5x114 et 45 , 16 inch
not sure of the width but im guessing they will be 7 or 7.5 for both set of rims.


thanks
