got some leds for rear license plates positioning lights and cluster

thats pretty much where i am at now. i been working on my s14. but i plan on finally installing my t28 turbo with apexi afc-2 and adjust the suspension setting
currently -3.0 camber in the front and -2.8 in the rear im thinking of going -3.5 front and -2.5 rear. im happy with how the car sits. i am working on projector retrofit to have hi/low beam hid functions. i am very happy with how the shine auto kit fits well worth the $$ and siebon hood fit great too. gotta give props to buddy's body shop for the paint and my close friends for helping out. hope this year to instal a hydro e-brake

If that purple s13.5 was your first s chassis thats crazy. I think my friend talked to you a few years ago when you were selling it. Had a seized turbo he didn't want to drive it that far back to Austin like that..haha really clean hatch man.
