      thanks for all the compliments guys.its great for people to actually appreciate the car. i would get different tires for it but those tires came with the rims and only have about 5K miles on them so they are like new and will get used before i buy some new ones.

      worfdog - the boot is from a 323, not sure which year, but it looks pretty good and works fine. also the paint is actually engine paint so its good up to 500 degrees lol. it was the only paint i found at the time that was the color i wanted so i went with it.

            If someone told me they were going to paint their car that shade of green, I'd have thought that they were crazy. But after seeing your car I now think different.

            That color is awesome.

                    Where exactly does the rub come from, the body-roll? What offset are those wheels, and what car did they come from? I've been kicking myself for not putting Azenis on my Festiva (smallest size is 195/60/14) and seeing your car with that size really kills me! lol. I didn't think they'd fit!

                      i get rub from the strut spring seat in the rear...when im driving normal its fine and when i take turns hard it would rub there around the tread of the tire not the sidewall. i dont know the offest of the wheels...how do i measure that? they came off a mid 90's mitsubishi mirage.
