    I scrapped the idea of getting new wheels for my marquis, and instead bought some beauty rings and centercaps for it. I'm thinking about painting the steelies a goldish color to match my car. Kinda like this. Any suggestions?

    Yes. Give it to me.

    Or put nitrous and open headers on it. And cut off the roof. And put a spoiler on the back that's a foot wider than the car.

    Did some wheel work on my 98 MR2 MK2, on a typically sunny and wet British day. Installed some new pads, as well as taking away a tiny bit of rust that formed under the passenger door. Anti-rusted, primed and resprayed.

    Installed wheel spacers yesterday too, but I am not sure whether to keep them.

    Finally ordered a new suspension system for my Prelude :) Ground Control adjustable coilover kits and Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks. Getting them installed some time next week, most likely. Trying to keep the car as close to OEM stiffness as possible, but lower it about an inch.

    Maxima is my boring safe modern car with a CVT for long boring drives/carrying people/things. Prelude is my red funmobile with a manual that I'm modding to my liking and paid for myself.

    Ooh, you have a 90? NA or turbo? I love every gen of MK2's, so I would love to see a pic, if you got some.

    Found a swimming pool in my A/C evap chamber which leaked onto my carpet as you can see here. Didn't smell like coolant so it doesn't look like the heater core crapped itself. Will have to get the car on a lift or on axle stands and take a look at the drainage pipe.
    Stupid Audi.
