thanks =] yeah i painted the steelies a while back. i just installed them on the front today, and put my deep-dish rims in the back with the 195/50/15 rubber. (and of course took off the 195/60/15 tires i had on the rear) so now im just waiting for two new 195/50/15 tires that i ordered today for the fronts.
btw, i havent taken my car on the main road in over a month and a half now, first because it wasnt running and now because there is no insurance on it starting in april insurance will be back up. look for a full photo shoot then.
new stance with new lower profile tires in the rear. 195/50/15 all around now =]
i know its a bit high, mostly in the front, but this thing has to be able to clear giant Savannah potholes i may eventually lower the front a bit more.
also no stickers in the back window anymore.. besides the bare essentials haha
Your wagon looks better than ever. I have to upgrade to a similar exhaust system one day. I prowled through many of your 19 pages reviewing all that you've done, but I don't remember - is the exhaust really loud, or just a sexy rumble? I never want mine to be a buzzbomb going down the freeway, but a more aggressive and still subtle sound would be great. And the look of yours is fanfreakingtastic. Also want to score another rear fog so I can join you EDM-izers. But, I have to score a better rear bumper cover before that, too. Does this never end?

haha it never ends
the exhaust is not loud at all. its a sexy rumble haha. the closest thing i can compare it too would be a stock BMW-esque sound. here are a couple videos on it..
this one uploaded really goofy, but you get the idea
I cant help but think how cool your car would look with them. Especially with those wheels/offset
yeah man, i have thought about it too and got some VW Mk2 jetta flares and did some retro fitting but i just didnt feel like messing with it. perhaps, way down the road, i'll get some Mk2 jetta fenders and weld those flares to the wagon fenders. im going to practice that first on a hatchback i have, but thats still WAYYY down the road as well.

Sounds good! Now I have another thing on the list - which is cool, 'cause somewhere down the line it's actually gonna need a new exhaust system. That makes a change from just doing things 'cause I like the look better. Or not. Well, sorta does.

lookin' good!
seriously. if i hadnt come across what i did i would not have swapped out my d16.
i would have either:
-gone FI with a bisimoto cam
-stayed NA and mini-me with a bisimoto cam
in your situation i would go S/C with a vtec head a bisi cam and TUNING.
just my 2¢. but i understand you being gun-shy too.... :?
wish i could find one like yours
I just want to tell you both, good luck! We're all counting on you.
im just scared with the whole tuning thing. sooo yeah.
thanks man! its really not that clean in person
:? tuning is the part that should remove fear....
