hey guys, new member here. Been lurking on here for a while and I finally bought one 2 weeks ago and joined. The car is a 97 6-speed, 79k miles, black/black. It was an original owner car, completely stock, and came with both tops.

Nice car dude! WELCOME!

There's just something about the wagon wheels that will always do it for me...

Now, get to lowering already!

so far ive changed the shift **** to a delrin round with flat top with 6-speed pattern, and today i did the exhaust. Its pretty much straight pipes from the axle back to magnaflow double wall rolled square tips. Sounds pretty sweet to me, very aggressive accelerating , and cruising in 6th gear at 60mph you can hardly hear it, which is also a plus.

I'm waiting for the mail to bring my new nose emblem, and the door panel insert things that go behind the armrests.

The only things i really have planned is depo headlights (black, with top painted black as ive seen on here) and some rims. Im thinking some deep dish c6 z06 with black centers.

I do also need to put new brake pads all around in the next 6 months or so, so I'll probably paint the calipers red while im at it.
