That is awesome! That's a genuine budget track whore right there. All I can say is.. LS/VTEC and some GSR front brakes. And what is the spring rate on the coilovers? Good to see another member from New England.

ha ha, very true on the mani, i forgot to put ITR "clone/fake" in the title, i was trying to type and think as fast as i could..lol but its deff a cloned itr fake.


thanks for the praise guys, its apprieciated. i bought this car about 4 yrs ago off a lady for 1600.00, it was a disaster. the engine bay was a cyclone. i used alot of cleaner..lol but this car has seen better days, i went threw the whole suspension these last 4 months and replaced every bolt,bushing,control arm,ect because everything was seized,rusted,or cracked....so its gone threw some much needed upgrades as of late, this was my daily for 2 yrs then i sold my coupe,bought a house and bought a truck so this came off the daily driver status,and replaced my coupe as the weeked track car. but thanks alot guys.

I'm from southern NH. You could probably send those 2 sets+some money back to hawk and have them send you some GSR pads.
