Some pics I took today. I really, really, really screwed up the white balance and didn't notice it for a while. You can see the difference easily enough. 
These needed some pretty heavy photoshopping to even look half decent:
After I realized it, I took a few more.
Yes the car is damn dirty. It's been raining a ton here lately, and it's cold. So I'm not really up for washing her. All the same, I don't mind a dirty car now and then. 👍
The car has:
Racing beat lowering springs
Tokiko Blue shocks
Racing beat header + full exhaust
Impul FZ-R wheels (custom powdercoated dodge color graphite grey)
And really that's about it. I've had the car 4 years now and I still love it. Such a pretty thing I think, and the sound and driving feel are both incredible. It's a basic thing, with it's truck suspension and steering, but it's just so light and tossable, and the 13b loves to rev. It's the perfect car for backroad blasts on a quiet afternoon. Which is what I did today. I wish I could get centercaps for the wheels, but sadly I have never even seen another set of them for sale, let alone the centercaps themselves.
I'd like to drop the rear another 1/2" or so. Just sits a bit too high in relationship to the front. I'm also acquiring parts to convert the car to a weber side-draft carb. I've got the intake manifold, now I just need the carb, some tuning parts, an FPR, an A/F gauge + wideband 02, and a few other nickel-and-dime sorta parts. I'm anticipating a 20-35hp gain over the rather sad factory EFI intake manifold and air metering system. Hopefully it will be making around 170bhp all told. Not bad for a 2400lbs car. I feel it's making 140ish right now.
At some point in the future, I'd like to do a 3 rotor, but I might save that for a better chassis, like an FD or Ultima GT-R kinda thing.
