Hey guys, I'm new here and I already posted in the Off Topic section, but i just wanted some more opinions on the rice rocket...Here are a few shots.
A little history....
I purchased the car in early October, used (obviously), with about 185,000 miles. I then bought the usual intake and strut bar just for kicks and a little better sound. I was saving up for a turbo kit to make it a little more fun to drive around, but I learned the hard way that the original engine was burning about 2 quarts every thousand miles and spun a bearing. After having to use all of my money on a new D16Y8 (I know everyone says to do a B-swap but it was completely out of the question, trust me I tried), That puts a pretty big hault on the turbo project. Since I am a poor high school student, I've just decided to leave it pretty much stock for a while until I can get enough to build the engine a little bit and add boost, but with college next year I don't see that happening anytime soon. I just plan on getting a Apexi WS2 catback, some nice tint, a lip kit, and either a set of 16" Bronze Konig Heliums or 16" Bronze Rota C-8's. Anyways, I kind of wrote a novel, and I thank anyone who actually read all of this, but I'm new to the car scene and still learning and just curious what everyone thinks.
