Default Not a Honda, but my new car

well my del sol has been sitting in my garage for almost a year now waiting to be sold. some of you from the FI forums may remember me and my blue turbo del sol. but the sohc turbo power had to come to an end eventually, so i bought my new car around november and let the sol hibernate in my garage. traded the fun of the topless turbo two-seater for a more practical, boostless, winter beast. here's the timeline since i bought it. enjoy:

from the last owner:


then i put stock grille and fogs back in and de-stickered:


wrx rims went on for the winter:


so i could have some fun:


and then golds and bumper conversion finished last week:

yup correct. there's also a fellow subaru owner who goes by the name of moss around your area. he has a really nice red RS and i met him recently and he said he knows the kid who owned the car as well.

thanks for all the compliments. i was thinking of building up another honda but i think i wanna go for a high-HP RWD first before i go back to FWD. but i have to admit i'm already starting to take FWD for granted already. i'm sure i'll return someday.
