June 12, 2012 - This is the day I found Oliva (after Oliva Munn) on Cars.com during work. Right after work, rushed all the way from Irvine, Ca to Redlands to handle. First thing I did when I walked up to her. Hello there..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0543.jpg Right after work the paperwork. About to drive her off the lot!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0544.jpg June 14, 2012 - First fill up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0557.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0559.jpg June 15, 2012 - First car wash. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0562.jpg June 20, 2012 - 1k already!

Beautiful car! Looking to get mine next Spring.. Argento or Raven.. but Leaning to Argento. Always loved Silver. BTW How much for the clear side markers? I like the way they look but are they street legal? How difficult are they to install DIY? I may be getting Rims, spoiler and a few other things before I get the car.. This way I can catch up to all you guys right away..lol

Thanks. The side markers are $99 dollars, I got them through Nigel(he has a thread in the vendors classified). The passenger side was gave me problems, took me 30 minutes to get it in. The driver side took 1 minute. I assume they aren't legal if you don't change the clear factory bulb to amber. Though I'm sure California laws are different, maybe even more strict than New York. |
July 15, 2012 - today is the day!
Some before pictures Roughly from ground to the fender F - 26 1/8 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0777.jpg R - 26 1/2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0776.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0779.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0775.jpg |

After!!! :happyanim: F - 24 5/8 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0796.jpg R - 24 7/8 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0795.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0794.jpg WOW how I am amazed by how easy it was to install coils on this car. Easier than a s13, s14, ae86, na miata, nb miata and maybe even the eg/ek civics. The hardest part was making the rear height even (fronts were no issue because they are maxed out). The drop looks PS to me hahaha http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0793.jpg Victory dinner, mines in the one in the back :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0797.jpg |
Damn man. I love the drop. How much were the springs
|
