The car is looking awesome! I personally think better wheels would look nicer. U can try on my black 2G GSX rims if u want for a pic!

Yeah, the wheels are just some that I bought a few years back, and I'd like to get something else. No black wheels though.

Looks sick man!

I would suggest tinting the front corners along with the rear ones you plan on doing.

A clean black 1g, can't get much better than that. Keep up the good work man!

I already tinted the rear side markers. I might tint the fronts if I ever get around to it just to get rid of the white line around the edge where they used the clear sealant to glue the lense on.

Holy crap it's been a while since I've updated this... Anyways, the car now has new wheels and tires, 17x8 Mille Miglia wheels wrapped in 235/45 Sumitomo HTRZIII tires. Also installed an Innovate wideband and installed some black/dark grey seats from a '90 non turbo eclipse.

More importantly, as of today, the car is powered by an EvoIII 16g. Started the project yesterday but ran into a few problems and ran out of daylight so we had to stop for the night. Got it all put back together today and she runs great now. Just gotta plum in the boost controller since wastegate pressure at the intake manifold dropped by about 2 psi since this turbo is much smaller.

I haven't decided if I'm gonna get it tuned on E-85 this fall or just wait till spring, but eventually that will be happening as well. If I decide to wait till spring, I will probably just switch to the hta68 dsm and e-85 at the same time. The car is really dirty right now so pics will come after I get it washed.

I'm sure it'll be a lot more fun to daily-drive now!
