White with the lip polished would look hot.

It's sitting on kyb gr2's and B&G springs w/ 1/2 coil cut from them at all four corners.

I've decided to get the wheels coated white, they will be at the coaters friday. I think Im gonna do a red pin stripe on the lip and fill the diamonds on the center cap red too. Should turn out ok and it will be totally reversible if i dont like it.

A little bump in the road with a cracked head on the 4g15. I decided to just go ahead and swap it instead of sinking money into a pos 4g15. Also decided to change over to 5 speed, I feel like an old man driving an auto. I could give two shits about consistency either because this is not a drag car and wheres the fun in driving a car in a straight line?. :-?

Yes it did, unfortunately the po had replaced the drivers mirror with some universal crap that I replaced with a manual black mirror. The passenger side mirrors plastic cover is broken off the frame so it hangs down a bit. I have been desperately trying to find another set to put back on it. :( I am also missing the black finish piece that goes behind the drivers mirror. I think they are different between the hatches and sedans, or folding and non folding mirrors?

I assumed all the folding mirrors were the same.

I think they are, just the plastic garnish might be different?

I just took a second look at the mirrors, it seems that the non folding mirror is quite a bit larger than the folding mirror. Another thing is that the piece behind the mirrors are hatchback and sedan specific it seems.

Wow I just looked at like 5 different sedans on the board and everyone of them has folding mirrors? Maybe these non folding mirrors are rare? That would be just my luck.

I was going to ask the same thing.

They may be rare, but boy are they ugly. The black folding mirrors look much better.

My Mirage GS that I sold to a buddy had non-folding mirrors.

Well I found out my watery floor board problem area, I kinda figured it was this because 90% of the time this is the cause of it. I ran my wideband through the hole with the chassis harness so it wouldn't maze through the engine bay. I still need a fwd flywheel so I get this car running, I've been scouring locally for one and waited last minute for it and now can't seem to locate one!

Should hold great
