    Damn that's a good looking car. Looks lower than before, did you change stuff up since your last pictures? I want the rear of my car to be that low, still looks too high for me, it's at an angle.

    No I didn't change anything, i changed to some heavier duty bushings on my front suspension that are shorter than the ones I had on before which is probably what lowered the front. But I like it, everything is tucked and rides decent.

    I should do that, but in Cali that wouldn't work... Have to do a 2ZZ. Can't have a motor in your car that's older than the car itself.

    I didn't change it I was wondering why it went away but I guess I'll re write it lol

    Yo hummer you got to change the sexy Rolla to stick and throw a 20v in it it's a lot easier than what people say it is all you got to change is one mount which you can get off a 7th gen, radiator with from a 7th gen then to convert to stick you can find that stuff at your local junk yard from any 6th or 7th gen then youll love the Rolla hitting 8k rpm with the itbs screaming !!!

    Ok I texted my boy and he said this ... axels are the same. you just have to use a 1997 timing cover mount.(passenger mount) you cannot use the same radiator cause the fans r gonna touch the headers and burn it. have to get a honda radiator double core(which is the half sized one) ... And he also said yea u have to rebuild your power steering lines and air condition lines. and i think thats it.

    Yeah because he changed his to a 7th gen one but If your going to change radiators you might as well get a new one and better one on and go with the half sized one my boy with the red 20v with 6 speed has one and when he changed to it he said the car just felt better

    Ok so the 8th gen rad doesn't fit, so either it's 7th gen or a 1/2?
