Finally took off the 20" wheels. It was a fun look, but weight, occasional fender rub, and increased wear on suspension made me do it.
20"


I painted (Plasti-dip matte black) some 18" Victor Equipment LeMans. The chrome lip just didn't look right with that car.

I replaced the water pump, thermostat and housing, sparkplugs, coolant and transmission oil. The belt was already replaced in the last 5k. The plugs and water pump and coolant were original. my 2003 has 49k on the odometer. It runs like new.

At 117,000 miles long overdue to replace the original fuel filter.



A lot of dirt came out of the fuel tank side of the old filter



Only had to jack up one side of the car and it took only a screw driver and a 10mm deep socket.

Yes I have a lift, but I like to do fuel filters outside the shop.

Looks good in white with matching wheels and hoops. Would look even better if you went with some wheel spacers. 20mm with extended bolts. Car will handle better too because track is then wider. Great looking car!
