Yes it is an NA. I did the climate control led conversion to blue a few weeks after i bought it. Still haven't figured out the new camera but you get the point.

So far I have replaced the clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. The guy i bought it from swapped the auto tranny to a 5 speed and dropped in a motor probably from a junkyard. Also tranny leaks alittle and clutch is going to need to be replaced soon. The spoiler was ripped off the car when i got it so i went ahead and filled the holes with some bondo. At one point someone slid it into something and bent one of the rims, as well as the door, front quarter, bumper, etc.
The only mods I have done to it so far is the shifter mod, climate control leds, and I shaved the rear wiper. Will post more pictures tomorow.

That was a tough deal for you Could have been much worse however.

Where are the numbers on your CC? Keep us updated on the progress.

That's a pretty car. I just got through painting my wife's trim to a gun metal grey. She had the white package but wanted something different.

Took some pics of the custom short shifter I made along with my new titanium shift knob. I also got around to finishing the body work on the hatch. No more rear wiper....

I flamed the tip a little to give it the blue color.
