*disclaimer*No high dollar super baller daily jdm updates, this car is being built on an E-3 salary and on my freetime(weekends). I am in no way, shape, or form a NOOb, i have been a round cars since grade school with my pops, I have dealership experience and im an Air Force Mechanic, I have attention to detail...enjoy

First, a little history on this car. I bought this car on october 2008, i think. I bought it before i left for Air Force basic. The car was in pretty bad shape when i got it, it even had house paint on the roof applied with a roller. During BMT and Tech School i saved up some money to get the project rolling.

Mods so far:
DA rear disc convo
ES trailing arm bushing
Goodridge lines
Buddy club seat
NRG wheel
99 SI rims
gutted interior painted battle ship grey
tokico blues on HR springs

right now im in the process of finishing painting it
all feedback positive and negative will appreciated
updates should be up weekly at least
