Well i only bought it for the build D16 inside.


Then i got into engines and realized that the setup the previous owner made whas kinda lame.

What to do then... Well start to make the car look horrible.


Throw the handless back on

Get a lot of molind going on to get the oem bumbers to fit the stretched fenders:

Buy some lips

Buy new catback

Make a 3" downpipe instead of the virgin hole sized 2" before


Get a new trunk instead of old shaved one.

Realize that the old taillights are ugly as f.... and order new ones.

Order new wheels instead of 17 inch bling

Waking up remembering your car is like 7 different colors - find a painter

Check and see if that made any changes:

Well not good enough, get a new paycheck and buy some useless things for your engine.



End of story... o wait - there are no end to building your car.
