Also, Alex is another guy who had a set of these on his black S13 hatch and he was selling them as well. I got those brand new in like spring of 2005. They were awesome. But they were 4 lug and I had to sell them since I did the whole Z brake conversion with 5 lug later on. ---

I don’t take it as hate at all. To each their own, like many people you don’t know the story behind this car and what it’s taken to get it to this point. I love my car, does other peoples opinions matter to me? Fuck no. You’re happy what you’re driving I’m happy what I’m driving, end of story. Personally I don’t care how my car looks I just care about performance and that’s what I’m getting torwards slowly, cosmetics aren’t my focus, end of story, if my car is fast as fuck, handles on rails and looks shitty I’m even more happy then if it looks “baller” (slammed to shit, rimmed up, 80 mil widebody, etc) but can’t back up the image as they’re riding a stock KA with a fart cannon and a crappy tire intake that wants to stall going up a hill. Thanks for the constructive criticism though, and an image change will come with time. Edit: Just to clear things up, Im still in High School, no credit cards/no debt and have social life outside cars and finally Im building this car out of my own pocket, no help from mommy and daddy like most kids my age.
