Well, I got the car in 2003 as a graduation gift. After saving my money from birthday's, Christmas' and a part-time job... all during going to school full-time-- this is what I've accomplished.

First thing I did was lower it on Maxspeed Coilovers, slapped on some amber sprayed corners, Wings west RS front lip and waxed it:




Summer of 2003, I took an ROP class with a buddy to paint my car (Thanks Joe).

In the process:





End of July, It looked like this.

Slapped on my first set of rims, Rota Group N's with Falken Azenis, put on some vision amber corners, SiR rear spoiler and OEM mud guards:




Her first show ever @ JDMTheory (I honestly didn't know there was going to be judging )

Put on my JDM head lights & tail lights, Vision style side mirrors, Ventshade Visors, Koni Yellow shocks (Thanks Aaron), front, rear and rear-lower DC bars, CP(?) CAI and a no name short shift kit:





Sold my Group N's and picked up a set of Mugen RG's with Nitto's(Thanks Fred), lowered it more, put on an ES oval exhaust and got a major tune-up done (Thanks again Fred):





Took me awhile to sell the RGs, in the mean while I mobbed on some stealies (Thanks Vince):




Sold the RGs and here she is as of May 15, 2005 with Buddy club P1's with Yokohama ES100's (Thanks Ferdi) and more of a drop :








Here's the weedo baby engine powering this sucker , after I graduate (about a year and a half) I'll be getting a swap...K20?! muahaha:



The interior was still nice when I bought it so I left it all stock except some audio stuff, DC sports shift ****, OEM floor mats and a DX gauge cluster w/ a RPM gauge (Thanks Alex):



Thanks for looking and I'll appreciate any comments good or bad!

I just know that they are 16's, sorry don't know the tire size.

It actually didn't! I had 2.25 piping and no resonator. After I gutted my cat, that's when it got raspy.
