NW Bananarama!
Alright I've just decided to make a thread(little late) just to show you the little progress I've mad since getting into the scene. I'm a young guy ha 17 but I'm tryna get out out there and show a little bit of my ride off. Not puttin it out there for cockiness just lookin for some love and there's plenty more to come!
Sorry as most are cell phone pics. Just got a real camera so some better pics will be coming soon.
Alright so here's what I started out with little 16th birthday gift from pops.

Was pretty clean when I got it but we all know how careless we can be with our first cars that are gifted...As was I

So after stabbing my 1st car in the back(Literally
) I went out and bought another one with my own cash.

New one sat for awhile until it got painted and got through emissions. Obd-0 B16s are hard to get through Washington state emissions. Had to convert it back to Obd-1 and then unplug an injector and blah blahh just money to get it through emissions just to drive it. So anyway after we go it through and got some real license plates, it was time for paint.



After a couple coats.

Finished product before adding moldings and exterior pieces back on.(Got fat fingers I guess haha

Got the car driving but I rarely drove it as yellow sticks out a lot and didn't want anyone messing with it. So I drove the beat up white one.
It was winter so I didn't feel bad gave me time to build on it. Over winter I picked up my pride and joy

When prepping the car we forgot to sand the bumper down
(It was brand new wasn't thinkin lol) So had to drive around with it crying(When I drove it)
Spring time came and HT was announced, I had to do something to try and get noticed so I put the white one up for sale to dump some money into the yellow one.
Picked up some suspension, Wheels, Jdm Headlights and clear corners.
Came to Ht like this.


After Ht I was a little disappointed in some things on the car so I went lookin for better suspension and some seats. Picked up an amazing deal on some Recaros and some Tein Flex's.

Been like that till I found the time to throw on my n1 and my unique spoon lip.

The lip fell off tho. Poor mounting by me...Fail but it was only $15 so I just through my Ex one back on.
After gettin the N1 picked up my other prize. You already know when you get an eg what duckbill you get! Backyard Special.


Had to throw in a little NW art.

So after a lonngggggg summer. The b16 sadly ended and had to be pulled out. and thats where I am now. Although I've picked up a couple things in the last couple weeks. Cars in about complete tear down right now.



Thanks for readin..For those couple people. Have more updates within the next couple days.

Well the engine bay is a different color then the car. and the inside is black but I was debating on sprayin it yellow. Some say its to much but you can never have to much sunshine in your life.
Side skirts are off and being replaced with Oem ones
