i wanted a DA since i was 14 and i finally saved up enough money to buy the one i wanted in 2007. one day some girl in a BMW pulled out in front of me and totaled her. this is the timeline.

the day i bought her:






totaled :'[ (frame damage)



after frame repair, new body panels, paint, SRI, shocks, springs, steering wheel, nrg quick release, and amber bumper lights





new wheels and tires





new seat and clear turn signals + my bike (bought it in november 2008 as transportation before i got my car registered and insured. took forever because Cash for Clunkers was going on and they didnt want any old cars back on the road.)








it took a lot of time and determination to keep her and make her better than ever, but i am happy with the outcome. coming soon: sidemarkers and coilovers; maybe one piece headlights.

 

I like simplicity....

 

RS is best.

 

that **** was mint when you first got it. looks pretty good

 

it had less than 100k on the clock and the only thing that was wrong was the infamous driver side seat tear lol i thought about just keeping it stock and use it for my daily because it was so minty.

 

Im loving the F3, I ride one as well. NICE car also its simple the way I like it

 

Fellow rs owner...nice and simple......any future plans?

 

congrats on the DA i remember when i wanted one when i was 15 had a daughter and never got one til i was 21 and even then it was a shell lol but a rust free dent free shell now its going to be boosted this summer can't wait.

 

im thinking about getting some 1 pieces, but they are so ridiculously expensive. im definantly going to get some new suspension work, im on skunk2 shocks and springs and i dont really like them. they handle pretty well though. a new lip is also in the works. im in college so i dont have much money lol im going to install some sidemarkers soon. and when i get out of my military college in november, im going to start doing some engine work. i dont have time to do much extensive work when i am at school, but when i get to my next school and have my house, ill have plenty more time.

 

anyone got any ideas for me on what to do next? i was thinking lip. i cant think of much else. engine needs to stay stock for a while because its my daily and i dont have much time for tuning and what not.

 

Looks pretty clean before and after the accident
