Brad: I hear ya on the money aspect on the evolution of our boxes over the past 2 years
You know what though?? I dont regret doing any of it...the turbo, the wheels, the interior...nothing. I miss my xB

Sweet man, glad to see the specs & tire sizes you had on the equips, i'm assuming with 195 series tire it was stretched quite a bit right? How was the ride being that the tires aren't really low profile? (if u remember back then, you've had a lot of different wheels since then lol)

I have been waiting for a good progression thread from you Mark. My first time seeing your box was at Michaels Mufflers late 04/early 05. Some of the other wheels I had not seen in pictures on your box before.

Good stuff man. The MR2 was a fun project. One of the happiest moments of my life though was seeing it go. It got sold to a guy in Florida. I got pretty good coin for it.
I took that money and invested it. SheDrivesA_BSPbB- Yea i know. Im thinking about driving down but we'll see. I might be out of town. Thats a rather long drive too.
Squirrel- Yea, you would remember all the stages. We OLD SCHOOL! haha. Brian is too.
rebelMan- 15" tires dont stretch as much as 17's and 18's. Reason being that the sidewalls are much thicker on 15" tires. I was using a 50 and 55 series tire. The stretch isnt as noticeable like on bigger wheels. As far as the ride, it was awesome. Really soft and plush. Thats the plus with 15's. You can run over any pothole and bump and not have to worry about your wheels getting banged up.
Thanks again guys! I think this car is almost done. Once the audio/video/interior work is complete i think itll be done.
But we'll just have to see. haha.

Wow I had no idea your ride had evolved so much...
I had the same wheels you had in the second pic, ADR Concept Pro, but in 17s. They were really light but look better on Civics
I love the current incarnation but have to say it's rivaled by the Work Equip one...

Those excels in the first pic look like they had a decent lip! Kind of a VOlk replica.
The 17" Eurolines looked awesome. But man, when you go to the 18's and the stance.POW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea the excels had a "cheater lip."
Yea i really liked the way the box looked on some low wide 15's too. It drove great. Very comfortable ride and it looked really different. But its too bad i got bored with it. hahahha.
Thanks again guys!

Damn Mark, bBOXD went though a whole bunch of changes!
She was gorgeous.
I hope you stick around.
I have a question...how big is the exhaust piping on your MR2? It looks HUGE!!!
