Gina - My OB 6MT Coupe From Day 1 - a story in pictures

A progression thread for my ride:

- Page 6 - updated MG2 trunk
- Page 7 - updated Chargespeed rear, DD and other stuff
- Page 9 - Sparco Seats - Engine bay shots
- Page 10 - Dyno run
- Page 11 - New wheels - Work Gnosis GS4's
- Page 15 - Interior picture - seats/shiftboot/armrest

I purchased my car on January 2nd, 2008 - a 2006 6MT with 12,000 miles.

Here she sits at the dealer:

The first thing i did was remove the badges and install LED's and clear corners and Bat's eyelids:

Then it was time to install my Tein CS coilovers and EDFC and SPC rear arms:

Finally after a long wait my wheels arrived - 19" Volk GTS:

Next up was Klumzee's CF Gialla grill:

This is how she sat for awhile besides a few minor things here and there until i purchased my HKS exhaust:

Then I decided to paint my headlights black:

Grew tired of the Gialla and went to a black painted grill and a CF rear diffuser:

The car was starting to get a little too dark and needed some color so a set of Carbon Fiber center caps with red logos, candy apply Akebono's and red lugs should help that problem!

Next - my Arch Industries Poly K2 Remix showed up after a LONG 6 month wait - totally worth it though! And my Hideaway plate:

Then the my Polyurethane Impul sides showed up from Arch as well - again - well worth the wait

Your car is ugly and I hate it.

And your football team is terrible too. Go Wisconsin!

LOL - not quite that much but i try not to think about it b/c I would vomit... probably the worst financial investment ever - but definitely the most fun!!

I agree and prefer the OEM hood - but this is for function - engine bay gets extremely hot and the heat soak is bad - this helps alleviate some of the problems associated with that
