After many hours of figuring out the angles...whats hittin what...yes it fits...haha. Can't complain too much...had some grinding and all that...but I grinded the top mount intercooler(top corners) and a lil of the hood(since it was already scratched, to slightly give some more room...plus it look smoother/nice than just a sratched up top mount intercooler and hood. 180 bucks total with y pipes...good deal on Ebay.

Yea Jive...many learning experiences..many painful experiences...Still somewhat worry about some mods...but thats the price we got to pay on some things...

Not that it looked bad...but it WAS bad...

Next thing is springs...I am probably goin to wait till I hit 14-15000 miles...im due for an oil change at 15000, get the tires rotated, transmission fluid changed, dif fluid changed, and have my mechanic do my springs while hes under there...

Can't wait! I want to do the cocktail transmission fluid...

I have a VF-39 coming my way, used, but in excellent condition.

Also will probably have the new Izix Short Shifter in a week-3weeks(I would guess)

Day after the snow storm...one of the first pics with ProDrive Springs also.

Took her out the night before with snow on the ground....quite interesting, but I need winter tires.

Patrick · Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 5:55 pm

Anymore pics with the prodrives?

jflexe99 · Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2007 12:35 pm

I can get some if you want...might not be for a bit..haha.

jflexe99 · Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2007 1:36 pm

Alright, so here are some more pics of the ProDrive Springs...not much of a drop in the back, not even 1 inch up front, but I wanted to keep a decent ride height, but improve spring stiffness. I think it looks pretty good now, WAY better than before...

Sorry, just grabbed the coolpix camera...it sucks balls

jflexe99 · Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2007 2:11 pm

Snow was crazy when it came...I took her out...I got ONE GOOD drift...the other two I had the tail go too far out and spun a bit...I wonder if I should really get winter tires...its just when its not snowing, how bad are they...

Since my accident...I got my new whees and tire, aligned, but there is still some very slight wobble in the front right wheel.

It is, toe, or heel or I don't know exactly. But would anyone be able to suggest the best thing to do?

I heard it from 15mph-65mph. There is no vibration through the body of the car or the steeringwheel, but the noise gets to me after a while...

Anyone?
