Default Pics are up!

Sorry I haven't had time to clean her before posting pics. BTW the rims fit with no problems








Suggestions on easy mods? I want to get her tinted but will probably wait till after the new year. Also the interior lights don't turn on when I open the doors, the switch is set to turn on when doors are open, the two other modes on the same switch works. Any ideas?

Not sure how to check the switch for the lights. I think it's in the latch.

Thanks for the nod to the canucks. You can check your ECU's count of the kms/milage by following some commonly posted steps. I found some on Matthew's site, (there are probably some here as well) after I noticed when mine stopped once. It stopped for about 100km then started again for no reason. I became paranoid and checked this function on OBD 1 to discover that it was only out by a marginal amount. As far as I know there is no sane way to tamper with the ECU's mileage, however I imagine swapping ECU with another vehicle (an early wreck) could be deceptive. Condition trumps mileage anyways, so if you are happy with your car's condition then don't worry - it will cost you money anyways.
Good luck

Easy mods: MBC and boost gauge, after that, easiest and cheapest mod.

You can check your mileage from the OBDI port only if its a 94/95.
