Update ! New shoes and all window detinted. Next steps: 2 new control arms and CABs, fix a rear fender who suffered from fender rolling and shaving the booth spoiler. I'm planning some coilovers next year.

For those wondering the wheels are BBS RS001 8.5x15 et06 and 9x15 et00. Tires are 195/50/15 all round.

Thanks a lot guys for the great comments.

I took the pictures with my Nikon D50 equipped with a polarizing filter and I tweeked them a bit in Photoshop. By the way I'm not a pro.

The interior is the OEM Sport with Uberkaro cloth.

More pics to come this summer. This time I'll shoot the interior and the engine bay.

Thanks again guys. Yesterday I dismantled my suspension and I need to change my upper spring perches, front strut inserts, rear shocks, CABs, etc. I'll take more pics of it and this time it will be lower. 8)

No sorry. My car is on jacks for about a month now. I ordered new Bilstein Sport from Bilstein Canada and they took 3 weeks to ship them (what a poor service). When I saw this I decided to refresh a lots of stuff.

Here's a list of parts I ordered:

-2 new control arms
-4 new Bilstein shocks
-2 IE Rear Shock Mounts
-2 IE offset Delrin CABs
-2 new upper spring perches

After I painted with black POR-15:

-strut housings
-all the front brakes stuff
-lollipops (CABs holder)
-upper spring perch
-control arms
-strut mounts
-a bunch of bolts an nuts

My car must be on the ground next weekend if all goes well. I'll take pics of it soon after that. Be patient.
