Well i do have a GTO set up sitting in the corner, still have no idea on what to do with it.
Picked that up for a steal.

Boy i wish i had the money for a LS9.

But yea, the motor that is going into my hatch is a J32a3 with a 6 speed + LSD.

Motor came with everything but the OEM key and ignition, and because these newer motors dont have the immobilzer's in the ECU anymore, now it built into the wiring.

Just picked up a nice set on 2002 S2k rims.

Bought 2 sets of the front because the rear's off set wont work.

In the pic there are only 2, they are the worst of the set, got them all for $250.00

When the other 2 come in, i plan on sending them all out and have them polished to a mirror finish.

But i would like some feed back on this.

Should i paint the inside of the rim black....purple ( to match my car ).....gold...or keep it all a mirror finish.

Ive heard its hard to find 2 front sets like that. As for color, I think black obviously would look good. But purple could look sick too.

Yea, when i was told that these were $50.00 each, i jumped on them.

New ones from Honda are $400.00 each.

And like you said, trying to find 2 sets of fronts are a pain, but my brother pulled it off.

Damn thats a really good find! I could never find anything that cheap around here...i was lucky to get my hx's off of a guy who had no idea what he had Only paid 100 bucks

As far as the paint goes, id say black just to keep it clean and simple. But purple would be prety b.a.

LOL, i will never part with this car.....ever.

Well i picked up something else today.......not quite sure on what to do with it yet, picked it up for $200.00.
BRAND NEW baer big brake kit (2piston came with lines,pads,brackets,hardware)..did not have the rotors that came with the kit though.

Have to see if it would work with my ITR rotors, but this kit runs for $1,200
Think i got a nice find.

Damn thats cheap. Just saw one go for $600 here recently and everyone thought that was a ridiculously low price. Not sure if they were right or not, but they said it won't work with ITR rotors. Could just be incorrect info though.

Splat, what the hell do you do for a living? I'm obviously in the wrong field.
