I got it from

he sells on ebay, but only does auctions and no buy-it-now's, and the bids go up to about 130 + shipping. I emailed him and he called me back telling me i could pick up since I'm local and i got it for way less.

I was having a bit of trouble too entering from the first floor. I'll scrape the frame going in even with a slight angle and scrape the resonators or something going out.
oh wow, hm maybe i will start to drive it then. I still need to strip my last wheel of its bronze-ness, so after that, i may start to drive it around. and yeah, the first floor would be doable if there was actually room TO angle in.. it's even harder in a long-butt car like the sc. we should do a photoshoot one day on the roof. i can bring my d90.

Lol, I haven't done any shots of the tC lately, but I will try. i haven't washed either cars since september either, but the rain's doing part of that job for me. I'll try to get more pics up soon too.

Thanks a lot! i really appreciate it. Yeah, i agree, the interior, is nice but not 100% to my taste either, but w/e i'm not a hardcore interior person anyway. I'm just glad it's in good condition.

The basics are actually not bad at all. I had tein ss-p coils on my tC and now function and form, but the ride quality on the basics surpass both, which makes me wonder why i daily the tC instead of the sc.. It's def not stock-standards but it also doesn't have the spine-breaking feel that I'm used to.

Nope, I was going to but it wasn't worth it to pick up. I got it BIN. They used to sell for $200-300 and I was going to buy it then for that price.. luckily it went down. They must be making a bunch because they're letting it go cheap now and I see a lot of people starting to pick it up

oh wow, they went for that much? I could see myself dishing out 200$ for this though.. looks good and is a lot more available than the origin one. I'm happy I got this instead.

I love your interior. Especially what you've done w/ the a-piller and door. BEautiful color combo!!!!!

Also, the RPF1's look really killer!

What are do you plan for the car when it's finished?

Would you mind posting some more pictures of the visor? I'm considering it but there aren't pics on that website.

Thanks! and I'm not 100% sure about where I'm going with this car.. There's a huge chance I'll get into drifting, because I was introduced to the import through drifting. I'm just not sure if I if I will, and if I do, if this car will be what i take to the track.

TBH, I cheated. I parked it on an incline and have 140 lbs worth of weights in the trunk just to make the rears as low as the fronts. Without the weights, I'd get a pretty raked stance.

That's without weights, but it's kiiinda hard to see.. sry about that

I'm not too sure, but looking through pics of Lips, it looks like a vega cf lip. It used to be CF, but because it hangs so low, the previous owner ended up cracking it and primering it i think, or just sanded it down.
