Default CyR's XA build

Figured i would post this here instead of the intro forum. For all interested...
So far, on the way home from buying it, i stopped by Raceland and grabbed a set of coilovers (they're based out of Utah). After getting those installed, i was pleased to find out my water pump was dying and replaced that right away.


Next came the wheel search. First was a set of Miro' STP 1's in 16x9 +15...yes...they poked quite a bit, and seemed a bit too small. So i sold them and ordered new STR 510 wheels in green 17x7 +35. Seeing as how i had 17's on my Lexus and still have the wheels, i swapped those tires over to save money. Well, they were 225/45/17...too wide and they rubbed the coilovers, put in 3mm spacers to compensate, and realized the tires literally wouldn't allow me to turn lock to lock lol. Now i have the large tires on the rear still and bought proper 205/40/17's for the front, still running spacers to push them out a little. So far i'm happy with it, but surely will be swapping the rear tires to smaller ones soon too, strictly for looks.






Inside, i just got a handmade wooden shift **** put in and finally found a decent cell phone holder lol.

Will be updating with current and cleaner pics soon, thanks for watching!
