GREAT job turning it around! Exceptional work!! Not feelin the purple wheels, but other than that, looks nice.

[fcuktion]

Thanks thanks.



The purple wheels were done when we had totally no more ideas for colors.



Green`s totally played out, red on red dont really go for him, blue looks like spider man.



So purple, its all rattle can job.



Cheers!

Beautiful paint finish and great photography. I love the look on #915 on red.

[Tru_Shine]

I love it! RHD Sickness! I am looking forward to more write-ups from you! awsome job! What motor is in that bad boy!

[fcuktion]

Used to be a B16 head/B20 block hybrid.

Currently running a stock D15 JDM speced motor.



Cheers!

[Tru_Shine]

Awsome! Does the owner track the car? B16/b20 setup is a bossy combo, I had a 91 Crx with the b16 head and b18c block. I loved that car, until it got crushed by a tree :( I`ll post pics later, I`m on my iPhone right now.

[fcuktion]

The car has seen a couple of track days. :)
