Low&Slow's Ultra marine build. (Pic heavy)
 
Hey guys! I've been looking at all of your member journals and decided it was time to make my own!

This was my first car, was content with it, but decided i didn't want any more. It was a gas guzzler!

Any ways, sold it for $2800 and put a down payment on my new car! (Excuse the crappy ipod pics. Got her with only 7 miles straight from the show room floor!) :thumbsup: Her name is Akira :)

Didn't feel like drilling holes into my bumper, so i tucked my license plate under my grill! Showing her some love, while on a date with my girlfriend.. lol :lol:

Car was too quiet! so i got a custom 2.5" straight pipe installed. :drool: Under operation!

GTR parked behind me while i was gas-ing up, on the way to Los Angeles!

But after a while, and too many tickets, i had to revert back to stock exhaust and drill into my front bumper. (Thanks alot California.) :cry:
But you know what? i did the next best thing, and followed through with my name. Ordered these! BC Racing Extreme Drop/ Low 8K/9K :party0030:

Big thanks goes out to @FT-86 SpeedFactory specifically to Jeremy!

Anyways, conversion time! Stock height

Comparison: Stock strut to BC Racing Extreme drop/low coilovers (straight out of the box) Sorry if it is blurry!

Here is a pic of the coilover springs settled in! :happyanim:

Here are pics of my wind shield banner, and my dash! I know many of you guys might think of it as childish, especially my front license plate, but hey, i'm still young! Catch me at meets anywhere from Stockton, Sacramento, San Jose, Fremont, Union city, Riverside, Inland Empire, and Corona! :thumbup:

Last but certainly not least, a rolling shot pic! This was during the first day I installed it, springs not settled yet. Thanks to the Original Fitment Crew! :party0030:

More rolling shots will be uploaded later. :cheers:

Thanks! and can't wait to see your updates as well! 10K sounds really mean, assuming you're going to run an aggressive stance! As will I :D
