Thanks for all the encouragement guys! And thank you Felix, for vouching my femininity
As far as keeping it stock... not gonna happen. Because of the fact that we now have THREE Evo's (which is cool, but really quite unnecessary), I may be selling my black VIII to speed the progress of this and the 1G DSM. Maybe. So if my black devil is gone, the white one better rip all 4 loose on the street!
This project is going to be a very well-rounded car. We will definitely use it to develop new parts for the community and see where it goes from there. But no worries, it will not become an abomination of road-racing heritage and become a drag car like Ricer.

I dunno why people think salt is bad for the car, IT IS OK to have salt residue. The most important thing is to clean it, wash the car. I drive my car in every winter since 05 and I have no corossion.
And please keep the car stock, it's a nice civilized ride, don't take stuff aparts and make it sounds like race car.

A close friend of mine works for my town and has shown me some of the plow trucks. They literally rot through the engine block within a few years

I don't think those seats are coming out! ^^ And tell your girl I'll teach her how to drive 5 speed once she gets it! I sold a 99 gsx YEARS ago and a 17 year old girl came up from Jersey with her dad and friend. She didn't know how to drive it yet... but that's what she wanted, black/black 99 GSX, and she'd learn!
Might have a little treat later in the day...

The black VIII? I think I'll start at $25k and go from there. I'm definitely not going to "off" it. We still have a few things to button up and get it tuned, then I'll get a better idea on pricing and a full mod list and as-is pictures. I'll link the for sale thread in my sig when the time comes.

There's a video link to STM Tuned Facebook. I tried to get a good angle of the wheels spinning, and I definitely like them more and more. I don't have a problem with the tire size at all. I like slammed cars and I think this will settle nicely on those wheels once we get some suspension ordered.
