Looks good very clean. All it needs is a drop. Keep up the good work.

Looks good so far.

But just so you know, your car has "one header".

Dont say headers, it makes you sound silly.

Tricky tricky...

Convertible rims, GT motor...noice! Not a big fan of the seperated exhaust tips, but regardless, I bet she's one hell of a sleeper. Shave those badges, son.

My dream J was always a Sedan with something more than the 2200! He is lucky to have one!

I agree with the dual tips not looking good and shaving the badges (and side moldings). I also think you should paint the drums black. Drum brakes shouldn't be any color besides black, it looks tacky.

You're off to a great start. Keep it up!

I didn't do the back window cause it's prohibited where I live

Yeah.. it was not easy to decide whether to paint the drums black or red but I ended trying red.. Maybe I'll try black

Yeah! I've been thinking about going for a turbo or an EATON supercharger some time ago and I've been told that you can put a turbo up to 8 lbs of boost without needing to change pistons, rings, crankshaft, etc... It's that true?

Nice! Wish my black paint on my sedan looked that good. I always wanted a fire sedan. Might have to go though with the front end swap. Again nice clean sedan

Very nice. With a drop and rims, I'm sure it will look tits. I probably say this too much around here, but it's tough to beat a tastfully done black car.

Not sure man, rumor mil for sure. Ive heard anywhere from 6-8lbs on a stock motor. I really dont know honestly, my advise would be to save up some money and build the motor

The paint looks incredible for it's age.

well, if u wanna keep that kinda stock look/sleeper look.

only lower it on KYB AGX's and Eibach Pro-Kit, then maybe either just paint yur stock rims black, or pick up a nice set of 17's
and it would be good!

also like people have said...a turbo 4 door sunfire with an LD9 would be tits!
but, as u said, yur like me...not made of money! hahahaaa

looks good tho man! keep up the good work, and keep us updated!

Thanks! Does anybody have a picture of a 4 door fire or cavy lowered? I'm not sure if it would look nice.. About the rims I think I'll go for the 17's

Not even a little.. And we have some other dumb laws as well.. For example you cannot have a high flow muffler cause they sound "too loud" haha
