Carlos, 1999, Sedan, LX, 5MT
engine- F23A4 / F23A1 header and downpipe, everything from air filter box out has been removed
suspension- Megan spring front 1.5 inch drop, Tein/Tokico rear 1.25 inch drop
interior- original with various fast food spill to accent
cosmetic- tinted rear lights, removal of all badges and urban patina
i dont remember when i was when my mother bought this car but she had it for a long time. Then it came that she moved on to a crossover and gave me this beauty. Crystal has seen many northern virginia days and now lives in Texas. and it being a ulev i would imagine at birth she hailed from california.
i have always wanted this car but mo always said that she would give it only to my brother.
i always thought it would look good lowered and maintained. so the first thing that i did to it was a quick degrease of the engine bay and a baby seat holster.
a couple of weeks later i got a great deal on lowering springs and strut bar. 1.5 inch drop up front 1.25 inch drop out back, nothing major but the streets here are not friendly to "stanced" vehicles.
i dont think i will be doing to much as performance, mainly making it look a bit better. its going to be something that my messy a$$ kids are going to riding in. tint rear lens, blacked housing, and maybe a rattle can job(until i find a color i like to paint her), and if i find some decently priced wheels.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE
