She's Home.......

guy at the paint shop wiping her down when i picked her up





So got the markII out of the body shop. Sorry for the late post. Had a hectic end of my week... almost lost the car, if you know me you already know the story.... Pretty happy w/ it for the most part though. They did a bunch of stuff I meant to ask them to do and some stuff that I just flat out didn't expect them to do, all included in the price they told me. Not too happy about the flare though. They flared out the bottom but didn't hammer the inner skin, so though a wheel will fit static, you can't drive... so I had to go w/ a less agressive fitment. Fitment in the pics is 18x10J +18 front work xd9 and 18x9.5J -1 rear 225/40 all around. Need to space the front out but too lazy cuz I need to take the bumper off... will mess with it eventually. Also just bought some wheels. With similar sizing to this ( yea the reverse stagger is kinda gay... but i love the xd9's on the front... They are loaners though, just waiting for the knew wheels to come in. Better pics soon hopefully.......

Trip to Chiba.....

Long Day


Smoke/piss break

Moritas 500ps Cresta

Bomb ass ramen
On the deck w/ 4 people in the car tuckin tire all around haha 18's and aero coming soon...
So friday night and saturday I installed a bunch of parts off the cresta onto the mark2. Diff, swaybars, strutbars, coilovers, and some braces ... car feels much better now, though i had to get used to is since i've been driving on pretty much stock suspension and my hipermax's were set on full stiff from the last track event and i never changed it. Finished all that saturday evening then me and some friends drove to Chiba to go to Seed Racing to get one of my intercooler pipes fixed/welded. Morita is the shit... welded it up for free (granted i had to drive out there and it was only a small weld... but still).... so we talked for a few hours, i drooled over his car a bit, then we went and ate ramen before hopping back on the highway to head to yokohama.... pics above....(runonsentencemuch)

Taking her in....


Haven't been active on here... busy and what not... had the car towed to the shop last week, stripped her down... goin to the junkyard early this coming week :(
