First off, I'm not a pro photographer, nor do I care to be one. yes I know the car needs paint. The alternator has since been moved to the back and I put an unshaved/unpolished valve cover back on. That being said - Let me have it all you DSM haters!

I had some lowering springs, but never put them on and sold them. It will be lowered on coilovers eventually when I have that much money to spend on them lol.

and yes, It always gets towed on a trailer to the track because ya just never know... and yes it was broken in that pic haha.

it does move on pretty well. haven't tracked it since my bigger turbo install, so hopefully the time in my sig will be improved!

It sucks that you got owned by a tree.
I hope you had full coverage.

I had 0 coverage (car doesn't see the street yet). but it was only 175 for a new windshield installed.

Clean, yea I painted the IC black specifically for that reason :)

I forgot to add in some before shots... I bought it as a rolling shell and built it up completely.

Here is the old hood, before I found a nice red one for free!

and the ugly ass stock wheels... pick up the set I have on there now for $50 bucks with tires :) (also removed the ugly yellow Mitsu symbol in front)

EDIT: I dont know why the front bumper cover curls up a little bit on the driverside in front of the intercooler. Eh, no biggee, its not a show car anyways.

You can drill a small hole and run some black zipties under the bumper and it it up. I did that on my gvr4 and that eliminated the issue. I'd find some stock 2g twists to throw on it and then paint it. Honestly I wouldn't even lower it. With awd just make sure you have good shocks so you dont have that blow out squat when you launch (I had it for years lol) but stock ride height on cars that were meant to be able to rally/street car looks good.

That car looks similar to one I sold about 3 years ago, maybe same car.

Did you sell it without a title? Sell it to Twai? I got it a little over 3 years ago from him, pulled the old blown motor out and dropped mine in with lots of extra goodies :)

Hey Jay, yeah... since he said he bought it from Thoai, then that one isn't yours. I bought yours, but then sold it to some kid over in Roswell or something for my Mirage. I was thinking that it was my old one too, the one I bought from you, but he said that Thoai had his. Good car none the less though! :goodjob:

Aww damn, I was hoping it was his and perhaps just maybe he would still have the title to it! Or at least be able to apply for a lost title! damn...
