    Restoration of my 94 VR4

    So I bought this car back in 2008 I believe. I am the 3rd owner.

    When I got it it had 125,xxx miles and currently has 165,xxx miles. I don't believe that anyone has ever replaced any of the suspension prior to me.

    So begin my quest to get this thing to the track...
    Frist. Buy a honda civic to drive back and fourth to work. Check

    Second, buy stuff to replace all the worn out and neglected pieces of the car.
    OEM ECS struts
    Eibach Lowering springs
    (should have just gone with coilovers same damn price lol )
    3sx Suspension poly bushing kit
    Energy suspension poly sway bar bushings
    AWS delete kit (have to put on yet)
    Front ball joints
    Drivers side axle/CV joint
    Rear wheel hub
    3sx adjustable rear control arms

    I worked on this project over a few weekends with my dad who is an old car nut. He normally just works on boring echo boxes that drive people from point A to point B but he used to have a few E-Type Jag's (xke I think) when he was younger so he has always been into the fast car stuff.

    After countless hours we finally completed all of this stuff without breaking anything on the car. I finally got it aligned the other day and got some new tires put on and HOLY @#%@# does it feel smooth. I dont think this car has been in alignment for a LONG time. Gradually replacing all of the old stuff.

    Just though I would share.
