The BA that could be
So it all started when I picked up my 1996 2.0 V6 323 Astina Hardtop, came stock as a rock, 94 000 kms and one previous owner being an old lady.
 The first thing any p plater will do is buy new rims and unfortunately I must of recently watched a fast and furious movie and decided on the brilliant idea of purchasing these...  Along the way got the usual window tint and made another regrettable decision, nothing like a cannon to tell everyone you're a p plater.  My face every time I started the dam car.  Back then sticker bombing stuff was cool and got you those infamous internet points [    I actually kind of liked it but after a few months it turned to ****. Then this happened.    Picked up some Momo pedals for a steal  Some random photos of the car    Got some new steel wheel nuts  Clear side indicators   Finally got a new muffler, HKS Hipower.

The car stayed like this for awhile, then I decided something had to change about the 4wd height of the car. Picked up some brand new Yellowspeed Racing coilovers, car is so much more planted now.

Im loving this build thread, purely for all the memes! The first face made me laugh for a good solid 5 minutes.
Looks nice and clean. I actually like the wheels

Car looks very clean, but I'm not feeling those aftermarket wheels, stock ones look a lot better to me .

Interesting. The rear coilovers dont have pillow ball tops.

I'm not feeling the rims but a lip and side skirts could change my mind.

Also think about series one JDM front bumper to delete the indicators or Eunos 30 clear indicators.

Finally an update, please hold you applause
 All I have managed to do is lower the front by 15mm and the rears by 10mm, on my first attempt I snapped my spline drive rendering me unable to take my wheels of for two weeks...  Few photos from today, still needs a lot more low in the back and a little bit more in the front.

Decided to take some proper photos of the car for once, typical Mount Panorama photos...
