Default The third gens finally done!

This is what I'll be driving till I get another car, which will probably be a while. No big deal tho now that I can drive this

thanks man.
I like em, they're basicly black torque thrust style wheels. Its hard to see them in the pix. I was gonna see what it would take to throw my wheels on it still tho.

BTW this wheels were off my car but the offset was for a third gen, so I got new wheels and threw them on this.

thanks, The wheels look alot better in person. Well the whole car looks better in person. Its my dads, but I fixed it up for him, and right before its done I total my car I guess thats the way it goes sometimes tho.

Third gens are the **** to me, I would LOVE to do an lsx/t56 swap on it but cash is low right now.

Paint the calipers and get a ram air hood, and she will be PERFECTION. I really like the look of 3rd Gens... Just wish they had a better history of performance....
Speaking of performance, what all is done to this baby?
