I'm coming up on 11 years of ownership with this car and it has had many different faces over the years. Its fun to see how much the car has changed over the years, and i'm hoping it just keeps getting better. It may not look better to most, but the driving experience with each passing year gets better and better. Which look is your favorite?

Pic #2 does it for me. Very clean, and the FSVT wheels look amazing. Although I really do love the wheels in pic #4, which I think I've told you a few times in the past. If you were to ever want to sell those wheels....

those wheels unfortunately took way too much abuse and got ruined by excessive brake dust, and tried using an acid wash to remove it, which caused some pitting on a couple of the wheels. I now only really run them as a wheel for my rain tire setup and for street use.
 
Your car is amazing and has undergone so much in the time you have owned it. Ive been watching. Awesome photos! i have owned mine since 2006 and im fighting just to keep it on the road with basic maintenance! Seems like everyday something goes wrong with it and i put about 100 miles on it each year!

A quick repaint and they'd be good as new!

Thanks. It seems like i constantly have something to do with mine as well, although mine is typically only upgrades. If something breaks, it just means it wasnt good enough and i need to move on to something better. Its been fun, and finally getting to a point where i can see the light at the end of the tunnel is exciting for me. It'll still be a long journey though, as once the turbo is on, i'll want to change/upgrade things there, and i want to add proper aero, then rework the whole suspension to work with the added weight of the turbo kit and the downforce of the aero bits. Maybe in 5 years i'll be done with it. :ROFLMAO:

maybe. The whole car needs a repaint too lol.
 
Wow, im so glad we are keeping these cars alive! I want to full 3l mine as well and install a quaife, but its a huge long shot. Something just wont let me get rid of this car. At least you can upgrade yours so we have something to watch😃
