first off disregard the user name. cant seem to change is so it will stay. but i made this long ago when i was a kid.

so a little background.

about 9 years ago i picked up a 2000 canadian GSR for around 9 grand of my hard earned advance auto parts job money :-p. it was the first car i had ever modified and is what got me into autoX/road racing. around 6 years ago i sold this car because i had joined the airforce and thought i would not have time to race or play/modify anymore. here are some shots of it before i sold it. it went threw a few different looks.


















after i sold the car for way too cheap. i picked up a 04 jaguar S type to just cruise. well after about a year i realised the bug i had started wasnt going away. so i sold the jag and bought this with a little airman money.



well zoom to today. alot has changed and i have made rank fairly well. being 26 married with no kids in the military isnt bad. the Z is now a dedicated track car that sees very little street time.all the work has been done by myself and a friend in my garage and tuned by z1motorsports the car makes mid 600 RWHP. i also bought a miata to play with and to build so my wife could join in the fun of road racing/autox. here are some pics of those.

well just recently i wanted to buy a DD since i had been driving my truck that i use for towing the trailer as a daily and fell upon a poorly treated 95 LS that needed some attention but it was dirt cheap so i said **** it. i have owned it for about a month and its already progressed alot. after changing a few sensors thermostat hoses and a radiator i finally got the car to stop overheating. got the idle issues fixed and now its running great.AC just needed a full fill and is now spot on and ice cold..car seems like it was driven as a dirt rally car. had tons of sand and dirt in evert crevice, carpet was unsavable so i ripped it out pulled all paneling and pressure washed the inside of the car then painted the floor black.. took the tan panels out and painted them all black, also was able to trade the filthy tan seats for a set of GSR leathers front n rears. plans are to keep it modest and simple as a DD.installed a itr style lip, spoonish mirrors, side markers, some HIDs, replaced the busted door handles and buffed the lights out. heres some pics along the way and the finished product. overall took about a month and a half to get here. and tons of hours cleaning.

some panels out

Wheels look sweet on the teg. What are u plans?

 

After I read the title I felt like I was trying to be sold something Anyway, looks super awesome! Can't wait to see what's next.

 

thanks! i just got the windows tinted and will likely be ordering some of the Amber fogs and then just DD the car for a while. maybe down the road boost it. but trying to stray clear from that since i already have 2 project cars lol.

 

Still in the AF?

 

Sure am coming up on 7 years.

 

Awesome collection of cars, can't wait to see what you do with this one.
