Default finally finished my car after a year of hard work. (timeline lots of pics)

may 2005 after i just finished my 5 lug swap thats how she sits



then the sad day of sept 19th 2005 a stupid old lady at school drove in to my car with her tank at school when i was crossing an intersection.
almost all my suspension stuff was destroyed incuding my coil overs







but i fixed it back
looking pretty bad...





i sold my type r wheels in search of something different but
had no wheels to rock haha my uncle was a nice guy and let me borrow his 17s


hot fire

then i found some sweet 15s mesh wheels for cheap
and it went straight to the paint shop after that


and here it is back from the paint shop







bunch of new toys



my defi guages installed




interior shot





lookin fresh!!



















and the money shot

:grabs the lube:

damn that is clean

only thing i dont like is the location of the guages. to me they are simply to much in the open. do you have the jdm center consol, you can customize some sheet metal and move them down a little... just an idea

i wanted to put them down there but i dont have money for the jdm center console right now. i was thinking about having a guy cut me a carbon fiber sheet for me to use in the console also.

i guess i'll do that later. the location of the guages wasnt too bad when i was in canada road racing it was easy for me to take a quick glance at the guages.

thanks for the input tho.

Everything else is nice

ahh sharp eye.
that bracket behind the fender where the corner light is got messed up in the accident. i think i'll order a new one and see if it will fix that problem over there.

its an invida wing and front lip. the wing was a birthday gift from a close friend. i been thinking about a spoon style wing for awhile now but i kinda like this one its different.

The interior is pretty dope. You should polish the lip on those wheels. Nice hatch
