Wow Tomas, that's a very pretty car.  I would highly recommend the Samberg parts.


unless you own a turbo ls9 rx7 you do not know what the fuck you are talking about.

Never been to Iceland .... but the most beautiful women I ever saw was the wife of a distributor from Iceland at a conference here a few years ago. The product display was outside and it was 102*. She thought she was going to melt....I thought I was going to burst.

Welcome aboard! Very nice looking FD. I've been to Iceland a few times on my way over the Europe (back in the day when trans-Atlantic flights required a stop over for fuel).

+1 for Samberg mounting kit and hardware for quality construction and ease of installation. Rad kit is the best on the market, if you need a bolt in unit. Lemme know if I can help with any wiring/electrical components.
FC/FD plug and play wiring harnesses, LSx swap AC systems, LSx swap power steering lines.

Got new wheels 19" are over kill on that car . So i gave it 18 8,5 and 9,5 .
Then i painted them

That is a great color and I'm liking the wheels.  I'm a big fan of 18" rims as the tires aren't as ridiculously priced as 19" ones.

You are going to have a fun car.  Is there emissions testing in Iceland?
