Just got it back out on the road from a Auto to Manual swap. Totally worth all the head aches. Not much else done yet but simple intake and exhaust. A/C deleted and partial wire tuck.

Near Future Plans:
-Deep clean engine bay
-Tint 5% rear 3 and 20 or 30% front
-Drop between 1.5" to 2"
-Rear lip
-In dash tach (looking for help finding a slim tach. needs to be 3 1/8" wide and bout 1 1/8" deep)
-Wideband fuel O2 sensor

Farther Future Plans
-Have most of a mini-me swap assembled just finishing research and afew missing pieces.
-Def getting boosted once I get the funds (year or 2)
-Wheels (looking at Drags and Enkeis now but open to suggestions. Thinking black or gunmetal)
-Sway bars (not cheap)

Alway open to suggestions and will get some pics up after the tint and drop.

for the tach just get any manual ex gauge cluster, they have the tach built in. or spend a few extra bucks and get the 2000 si gauge cluster, they look awesome!

as far as lowering it either get full coilovers or the koni/gc setup. dont cheap out on suspension stuff=)

Yeah after lookin at some prices it is the same price or cheaper just to get an EX cluster but $300+ for the Si cluster is a little out my range

And Ive just got ebay lowering springs and some new monroe struts for now not planing to slam it so i think the ebay springs will be fine for now

They are balck housed with halos (i'll get some better pics up next week) but the drivers side head light is cursed. Sister destroyed the original with a deer before i got the car. Then not even 2 weeks after i got the new halo ones clipped a deer and cracked em. But if i can find a new front plastic cover i wanna open em and change the halos to blue anyhow but thats a big if and want.

yeah, i know what you mean bro, i actually had halo's when i first bought mine, i liked them for a while and mainly because they were black housed, but then i thought it was a little too ricey for me.... i actually still have them, but i can't get rid of them cuz no one wants them...
Before...

Black housings I bought for it...
