My 1999 Y33

I really need some better photos of it. But it's basically stock for the time being and it's not actually on the road.

What's been done since the photos:
Front plate removed bracket in the trunk lol
full leds interior, trunk whole dealio
wetsanded and polished my headlights


Future:
Either air or coils and then air
Aggressive 19s most likely a DH or Vienna kries style full faced wheel. Hopefully round 10" up front and 12" in the back with roughly 0 offset.
I'm on the fence whether or not to go with an S13 conversion.
Interior goodies and sprucing up.

About the car, picked it up for a retardedly low price with only 186KMS on it. Interior is absolutely mint and it's a single owner (70+ years old) Lived in Florida all it's life.

beauty and the beast

I'm going to get some better photos of it soon enough.

Oh for sure, it's going to be a slow build but it should be almost where I want it in about a years time.

I've been half considering painting it the same colour as my G lol

watch out for back spacing on those 12's homie, id go 10 - 11 with aggressive offsets, you will never really see the wheel because how low it gets - just my opinion

I'm basically looking at a similar set up as what Charles had with is Stitches. Still won't know for a while, might try my CCWs on (10/11 stagger) just to get an idea for the fitment.

Look for transmission clunk and the blower motor being gone

Other than that, just your usual 10 year old + car stuff.

I have 186KMS on it (so like 110miles) and I paid $3700 certified and E tested.

Cars in similar condition and specs though are worth about $5500-$7000 sometimes. I wouldn't expect one for under a $4500 and if you find one, look it over really well.

Guy is selling me is white 1997 with 227K MILES. Only $1500. Everything is apparently in "good" condition.. We'll see in a few hours when I take a look at it.

You still got a great deal on yours.. There are G's out there with more mileage than that. Nice car man!

I may throw the car back up for sale for 4K ish.. If I can make 1K off this car I'll be happy.. If its really in good condition as stated I'll just keep it.
