It looks like a clean car, just one question though; why did you get the haviest brakes possible, as it looks like you are trying to get the car as light as you can by stripping it out e.t.c...?

do it, so it, do it


Dont forget, no point in stripping it out unless your gonna put smaller wheels on it, and with the kit u've got, u need at least 17"s.

Keep it, slap some ice in, then tune the engine to get the pace back
