Straight OG gangsterish+ new toys!!
UPDATE!! Got some real parts today. My very own 4 link that I put together myself and was 150 dollars cheaper then anyone else. Still need to get some jam nuts and misalignment spacers but I'm pretty happy. Then you can't have a rwd car without it having a LSD. Since my GTS came without one I found a Kouki(86-87) LSD and matching axles on another site for a steal since he just upgraded to a Tomei LSD and let me have this for cheap for just 175
shipped. Hell people are selling just the stock LSD for over 200 and I got both diff and axles for under that shipped. I took off this friday and monday to install everything along with some other stuff. New 6 puck..rotors..axxis pads all around.. This thing should feel like a whole different car when I'm done. The stock clutch is pretty much gone so any new clutch would be an improvement. :P Oh not to mention I also I got Le Mans dvd also. This movie kicks ***.
I was tired of my stock steering wheel cause it's sooo massive. Feels like I'm driving a damn school bus. So my stepdad has been cleaning out his garage for the last couple of weeks and is a fellow car man. Except he's a classic bowtie man since he rolls in a 57 Belair. So anyways, he said if there's anything that I happen to see just ask and I can mostlikely have it for free. So looking around he had two older 3 spoke steering wheels. I wanted something smaller so I opted for the OG wood rimed wheel that was the smaller of the two. Suprisingly for how old it is the wood is in perfect shape and the chrome came back with some Mother's polish. I really wanted a Nardi wood steering wheel but I ain't gonna whip out 2-300 bones cause it's mad Fazolli style. I had to drill out the center to work with my HKB hub cause I roll hard like that. $15 Ebay special FTW!! I went back to some 3 grade ---- and made a template with a crayon and some paper and laid it over and scribble over the top to make a outline of holes. Worked like magic. Made me want to go outside and find some leaves afterwards but now I'm veering from the subject. I had to drill the 6 holes(momo pattern) onto the center of the wheel since it's only had 3 holes. Since I don't have any hole saws I have to cut it out at work for the horn button tomorrow but damn all I need is some Daytons, a virgin mary sticker and my last name in old english lettering in the back window and my car will be set latino style.
ARIBA!! 
mad bling blang
I'm retarded...it's the injen in me. :P
Though I actually have installed some useful stuff and not just "looks" ----. I have all new steel braided brake lines, calipers, rotors, pads, steel braided clutch line and new slave cylinder, new 6 puck clutch to go in, LSD and new axles. It's been so flipping hot this past week I haven't wanted to even look at my cars or go outside. Thank god the corolla has ice cold A/C but this week isn't looking any better so I'll wait. ---- if I'm gonna go install a clutch or a diff when it's suppose to be a 100 out this week. Oh I welded up a rear strutbar too but I posted that up already in the ****/fab section.

Re: Straight OG gangsterish
Fine Buk.. ask and you will receive. 
Damn it was so hot when I first bought. I should of just left it how it was
This was when I was first gonna do my own paint job...latino gold. I wanted a goldish bronze color that it showed on the cap but this ---- came out.
Thank god for Burt Reynolds and $250 Maaco paint jobs.
I don't have any new pics since I'm not really into doing photoshoots and laying on the ground or climbing trees that get that mad hot jdm style angle for a picture.
The Z had been outta comission for awhile since it left me on the highway one day to work. It still starts but then slowly dies out. I replace the fuel filter but pretty sure it's the fuel pump so it's just been chilling like a villain for a couple of weeks since it happened.

I can get you one WAY cheaper than $200 I think...
I also found a few TRD wheels also...

Re: Straight OG gangsterish
woah slow your roll bro. It's the mona lisa. Looks good from a distance but upclose it's not that great. Thanks for the compliment though. I want to get another set of 15's so I can switch wheels with the Z and be able to put the rewinds on the corolla too cause 14's on the Z would look goofy.
