I'm think about do the same thing. You can get a Y33 with ~80kmi around here for $6K.

welcome to the club, and it is an FGY33 to be exact which is slightly different then the Y33 Cedric/Gloria. I may be selling my modded Y32 coils on mine as I will be doing a combo Schassis and air swap hopefully soon. What color wood trim do you have?


I have all four motors for the active stock suspension you still have.
I also have a spare headliner if you are interested in doing some custom interior work.

I hope you are going to lower that. Poke on stock height is really not acceptable. You are gonna want to cut off that big huge truck muffler in the rear as well and just weld on straight pipes to tips. Of course you could do a full exhasut but that will be enough short term

Um, not sure if you are joking or you are mad??? look under the car and you will notice that there are 2 mufflers up front after the second set of cats and then the huge 2 1/2 to 3 foot muffler in the rear. You can cut that last one off and just weld some pipes to tips. I did it on mine for about $30 bucks and it sounds so much better.

Mine

you can see just the tips in this old pic

and before I had the hood resprayed and the USDM grill painted black.



I may be picking up a Parts car soon if you need something. LMK

Oh just messing around. But I didn't know that. Your car looks very good. I was wondering how the tails looked tinted. Not bad. How does your car perform after removing the muffler?

been had a q bro... a real q45, not a q41.

take your time to pick out wheels. theres a lot more out there than the (mostly) typical choices you posted. a lot of people go with them anyway, but just as many end up selling very quick because they get deeper into the style. suspension should be first on your list anyway, so you can pick the proper fitment at whatever ride height you chose.
