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.

June 29, 2012 - My first Mod, thanks Beatsonic!

July 2, 2012 - Front and rear Toyota emblems. The front was a biatch

. Thanks Carson Toyota!

July 10, 2012 - Got my side markers from Nigel@jdmparts.com!

I didn't even know the japanese ones bulged out. Reminded me of the jaydum 180sx side markers. VERY NICE touch!

Also UPS dropped off the Perrin plate relocator(I haven't even received my plates yet!). Thank you! You guys are sick wit it!

Both goodies installed

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

July 15, 2012

Here we goooooooo!

Out with the quickness

All in, just needs some torquing

sidnacious · 07-17-2012, 03:03 AM

July 15, 2012

After!!!

F - 24 5/8

R - 24 7/8

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

Victory dinner, mines in the one in the back

karma003 · 07-17-2012, 05:07 AM

Damn man. I love the drop. How much were the springs

alex86 · 07-17-2012, 07:27 AM

hows the coils in the street?
