My 97 ES build thread. (Update 5/20/2008)

I say cheapo stuff that catches a buyer's eye.. header, intake, catback, springs n struts, tune. That way A) you're still modding on stuff that is cake for you to do, and you more than likely won't run into any problems, and B) You can feel like you're getting more out of the car instead of wasting its potential..keep it N/A with bolt-ons so it sounds mean and performs a bit better.. minimal cosmetic mods, maybe paint, tails, cheap HIDs and light rims.. do some work on the brakes and rotors.. maybe an aftermarket pulley.. SAFC for a tune and for potential buyers to think it's faster than it is :P And then just keep it CLEAN 24/7!

Figured I would keep this thread going. Threw on my old AGX and Eibachs in the front, new O'reilly special rotors/pads, and my front 17s. Going to put the rears on tonight, started to rain as I was getting the last caliper back on haha. Its amazing, now I can stop! lol

I have to fix my tbar alignment, that is killing me.

She sits nice and low in the front. Going to re-touchup my wheels as they are chipping, still needs a warsh.

I know I am slacking, OZE parts wants $130 shipped for a set, I dont want to pay that lol. I will come across a deal soner or later, I have the driverside corner somewhere in my trunk, I need a passenger corner.

Des Moines is about a 3 or 4hr drive from me, I am in the lowest southeastern corner of Iowa.
