Hey err'body, I had a few people pm'ing me wondering what ive been up to with my newest purchase, so here is the deal. I sold my prior Garnet SC to Dave from Headgames, and picked up Workaholics SC. He was selling his 93SC with the CCW's, FLEX, and all STOCK other than that. I saw this car for sale, went and looked at it, fell in love, and snatched it off of Greg for a very fair price. It was in near flawless condition, but was waaay to low for what I was going to be doing. So I made a few changes here and there, but kept the cars overall aesthetic.
The mods are simple, and I have been working on the car every morning and evening, even in this nasty heat we are having in the NE
My main goal with the car is for it to be a serious street car; all options, drag radials, 700+ whp, and mid 10sec passes. Heres the basics of what the car has, and some pics:
Body/Exterior
OEM Alpine Silver Paint

Shaved Antenna and Emblems
Interior(kept it real simple)
Pristine Black Leather

Nah, I just raised it up, lol. Greg was all about having it rocked to the ground and some stretch on the tires. Im on the opposite kick, having that kind of power is worthless with a cambered out car and stretched tires. Dangerous is what it is.
I would however, trade my FLEX for SUPER STREETS. I like em better, car feels more like a lexus
