Default Timeline of my 1997 Silver Rollerskate (1997 VSM EK/EJ/Whatever) 56k pwnd!

I bought this 1997 back in august of 03 for 4200 here in dfw texas, here is how it looked like in august



obviously my first mod was to ditch the stripes



ahhhhh much better
engine lay dormant for a while and then finally in november went from dx to minime

from this



to this



pretty shitty eh?

then I threw on some azenis and rota c8's (recently sold here on ht), and a cf duckbill



then threw some fakass spoon mirrors and a wakaba decal to cover a dent a kind gentlesir decided to leave me at the local wal mart



as of yesterday i sold the rotas and got ls mesh



check out that mad tyte license blocking abilities y0 and the jdm college parking sticker



new rear lip



took me 9 months to find that damn jdm sir lip



the rollerskate looks so happy



there is always a rememberance of the past, anyone in dfw wanna help me paint the roof of this bitch?



All in all i named it project rollerskate cause a good friend of mine said she thought my car looked like a rollerskate from far away.

SOHC powered

Newest mods in the next two weeks: koni full threaded coilovers, gsr front strut bar, rear strut bar, front tie bar, lower rear tie bar, etc. etc. whatever blah

why so long? you know you can get one at your local honda dealer for about $60!

i see youre going to get some suspension finally, thats good but i would have done that before the mirrors, db, and wheels.

thanks guys, hehe i have had the suspension for a little over 6 months but no time to put it on when you are a full time student and working as well, i have the full threaded koni coilovers, front and rear struts, front and rear ties, and am looking for any kind of ek sway bar, does anyone have any?

as for the lip it took me so long because everyone was sold out!

the fade is still there but only can be seen in direct light at night
