The next set of things I decided to do was pick up a Turbo II hood. I removed the stock wing and I painted my stock wheels black.
I filled the holes from the stock wing with bondo and spray painted it to match the car. At this point I wasn't too concerned with the paint. I actually miss the way my car looks here, it was clean and simple. I believe at this point I had gone through three different strut tower bars: RE-Amemiya, FEED, and an Ebay one a friend gave me.
My driveshaft U-joint went out on me so I had to find a used one. I ended up replacing the transmission and drive shaft. My short throw shifter would sometimes come loose and actually pop out of place because one of the bolt holes was stripped.
My stock radiator had cracked along the top so I had to replace that. I also had a small oil leak, so I replaced my oil cooler hoses with steal braided ones from Corksport. I was running a Bonez straight pipe with my Apex'i N1, but I swapped it out for a set of Pacesetter that I got for really cheap.
I took off the GTU sticker and eventually put on an RE-Amemiya sticker. I also slapped on a Drift Alliance sticker. Sometimes I get bored and throw on a bunch of stickers, just to see how it looks.
The Turbo II hood was decent, but it had a dent on the scoop. The previous owner also tried to make some kind of intake scoop, so the hood was bent up near the passenger side headlight. I think the previous owner was planning on installing hood pins because he also cut up the underside pretty badly.
