Bought this car...

http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=161103

Plans:
Rebuilding the wilwoods and putting new drilled 11" rotors
Crystal Clear headlights
Almera bumper n14 (I believe) I have a friend in the uk
Bodywork to line up hood and paint mathing on driver's side..
new ac condensor
painting the cai flat black
grounding kit
wrap the fuji (its gotten a little surface rust)
repaint valve cover at some point
magnacore spark plug wires and full tune up

Otherwise car doesn't need much:

As far as I know it comes with the sr16ve cams, jw ecu, fuji, 2.5 in cat back

You got an awesome car. Daniel is a great guy. I talk with him on a regular basis. You couldnt be getting a better car.

Congrats bro.

EDIT** BTW, that car scared the heck out of me when Daniel drove it around a corner once. I thought for sure we were going to spin. It just kept on going and going. You might want to check the passenger side seat for some brown skid marks ;)

I did, sold it for almost the price I got this one. I'd post pics but my mainframe is down. It was black with a full xenon bodykit molded and blended with the bumpers. d2 coilovers, ssac header, cai, greddy mss, calum ecu. Sold it to a guy in nc

Only thing I think is better on my old car is the calum ecu-- car felt just as fast as this one with that ecu. Oh, and I liked the greddy mss.

This car has the fuji header, jw ecu, and sr16 cams quiafe, more streetable suspension (less stiff), and will have the wilwoods once I get the parts for rebuilding the calipers. The b13 did feel faster around the corners with the d2 7/5 setup, but to stiff for city driving.

Overall I liking the green machine better (its more civil), but I haven't had a chance to drive it much because I need to get it through Inspection (witch is a beatch in MD). Any one know of any mod friendly inspeciton shops let me know-- mostly its the suspension that is at issue.

I've heard mixed things about it. Don't plan on running cai as this will be more of a daily driver. Since they are stainless steel, I figure they should hold up if I do it correctly. I plan to get all the rust off the primaries first and then coat them with something, then maybe wrap them...

Anyone else have an opinion on this.

wrapping them will only make them rust faster, as the wrap will hold/lock in the moisture.

i suggest removing them, getting them sand blasted and get them ceramic coated.
