Bought a Whiteout down in Ithaca NY last Sept. Been in the garage since about Dec. My previous ride was this MR2 Spyder:

I Imported a factory hadtop, pulled out the soft top, dropped in a 6 speed, PPE header and Borla exhaust, Recaro SRD's, BC Coilovers, Whiteline SB's, lot's of stiffeners. The springrates were too much for the street. But it was a sweet ride. Zero storage space.

Before that:


The body is a like a bank vault, and the sound from a flat air cooled six is pure pu$$y. HVAC sucked. The market for that car has gone way up.

Current ride:


I picked up a set of Volk CE28n's, which are 6 lbs lighter per wheel and just ordered a set Michelin Pilot SS. No plans to lower for now, just added the Whiteline 16/20 Swaybars with links. Lowering a car adds a few of things to deal with. Am in the process of redoing my susp alignment tooling and just built a manual tire changer. Will post in the DIY section.
