Go to ebay motors and type in 'cefiro'. They have a couple styles. The full on "VIP" and the one that I have which is the "VIP sport".

Agreed. Until I replace the SSR's I may just use some spacers...10mm for the front, 20mm for the rear. All depends on how soon I get the wheels.

**** this car. Screwed the engine up good in it two days ago and had to have it towed home. **Click the pic for vid**

So tonight I picked this up. 99 i30t, auto, excellent black perforated leather.

An hour or so later...threw on the ASA JH8's and VIP sport grille.

Should be a good replacement while my 97 gets some goodies.

Oh, and sorry about the ****ty cell pics. My girl took the camera to AZ with her.

Planning to rebuild it from the bottom up. That way I'll have a fresh, 0-mileage motor ready to swap back in.
