    Oil change at 86,529 miles. Mobil 1 filter, drives a bit smoother now. I went way too long without changing it, I felt bad for the car.

    Changed my spark plugs at 87,524 miles. Got NGK Iridium plugs in there now. Didn't realize until I started the car with the new ones just how rough my car was running. Practically sounded like it was on 3 cylinders lol. Here's the new one next to the old one:

    These old plugs were original to the car:

    That's just a test fit, gonna sand them down again and repaint them. They were blue with a bit of red in there underneath the blue.

    Those are Blox Racing neo-chrome open ended extended lugs... They looked better when I had the rims, but those are gone.

    There's a shop I go to in LA, I got them for 75 bucks. In person they are way too long, I have some shorter ones that are on there now, plus these are spoken for.

    Thanks, once I get some rims and put those sideskirts on, it'll look pretty good I think. Plus when I'm done with a little something that a few of you know about. hahah. But yeah the front is pretty low, I can stick only about three fingers in the gap between the valence and the ground. But I have big hands lol.

    Yes it is lol. but you gotta remember I went from 16s to 14s at the same time. I dropped about 1/2 inch just with the rims alone. The lip gave me another 1 1/2 inches or so.

    Oh and the "THEN WHAT" is that my car will look even better lol

    Well the ones in your sig look like steelies cause they are all black. But if they have a nice polished lip, then they sound great.

    well at least on white rims, you can see the details/lines and they don't look like steelies..... but I suppose any rims can look dirty if they actually are haha.

    My rims never looked dirty when they were black. The white was easy to keep clean, but strangely the red looked dirty the quickest. Look at the shoubox gold94 and you'll see my opinion on black rims with apolished lip lol.
