- Tue Jan 01, 2008 4:11 pm #35944 hey all,

my name is Josh and I live in Michigan. I have a black 1995 EX Coupe that I picked up for $1100. When i got it the odometer read about 212,000. I know its alot of miles but it still runs like a champ. Now it reads about 215,000. I have lots of plans in store for it but I just don't have alot of money so I am doing what I can to it. So far I have done GSR Leathers, JDM ITR Shift Boot, Painted Valve Cover and Intake Tube (temporary just to dress the motor up a bit), JVC CD Player, a Power Rev Racing Fuel Pressure Gauge, and on the way I have a Ceramic Coated Header, Front and Rear Lower Tie Bars and a Type R Style Brushed Aluminum Shift Knob. Here are some pictures of the car.

I'll start off with the bad...

Thanks guys and I will accept all kinds of criticism... and don't worry, the rust will be fixed. Thanks. Josh

- Tue Jan 01, 2008 10:52 pm #35992 im planning on putting a custom 2.5" catback on it soon and a nice sound system. and then after that just rebuilding the z6 thats in it or swapping just the motor for a d15b. I am going to build this into an all around show car. I'm going with 15" Chrome Rota J-Mag's, a Mugen front lip and a Type R rear lip a flush mount rear spoiler and maybe JDM fenders. But my favorite part that I'm going to get soon is the Mugen Style Valve Cover lol. I dont know why i just like it alot. Also I am going to fix the rust and get it painted back to the black that it is. I love it, its all full of red metal flakes/glitters :). And maybe in the future a full N/A build up. Boost for where I live really is not practical at all. Also, have any of you heard anything at all about Vogtland springs? I want to lower my car about 1.8-2.0" and still keep the best ride quality that I can.
