Not bad, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side. :(

I like it but I'd definitely change the wheels, lower it and ditch the nasty chrome around the fog lights and grill. Yep! I said it. Ditch the chrome!

Not all chrome is good. Yes, I said that too! Certain things are good accentuated by chrome but others look tacked on.

My Japanese twin?

Actually the only thing I like is the TSIs

Any more pics of this bling-overloaded Roadster?

Everyone lowers the NC, I am the only one around here with their NC at stock ride height.

THANK YOU for posting that! I've had that pic saved for weeks now and have been waiting to post it up.

Nicely timed! :clap:

Not exactly. This is JDM to the MAXX, YO!

Alot of the mods on the car are sweet.
If the car didn't have the chrome "elephant tusks", mirrors, gay whorse hood emblem, cheesy license plate frame and the ugly mirrors, it would look alright. And better wheels.
There are tasteful mods on the car, but the viewer is blinded and distracted by the heavy and distasteful chrome.

Not true, mine's stock and I like it! The '97 seemed to bottom out on street reflectors. However, once I've had enough of the off-roading, that too will be my first large mod.

It's not a large mod! $125 for springs and a spring compressor rented from Autozone. :D

Cool, I live in Mansfield.:D Is there anywhere else to live?;) The labor is what I'm refering to as "large", as it's not like replacing a horn or doing a fog light mod. Of course it's not like replacing a clutch either.

Thomas, $125 is cheep, are those the TEIN springs that you put on? How do they handle compared to stock? We should meet up for wings at Buffalo Wild Wings one day, even though I'm not currently in the market, I'd like a ride with the new springs.

Yep, they're the TEIN S-techs I got off of Ebay. Not really a change in the ride quality. It's just a tiny bit stiffer, but hard to tell. The RX-8 front bar was definitely a bigger factor in limiting body roll than the springs.

Just let me know when you want to go for a drive.

BTW, the install isn't that bad.
