Little Timeline of my Rex
I built this rex up from the ground up with help of my friends. Thought I'd show what kind of work I put into it.
Here is a pic of my old rex which I liked alot. Died due to an aftermarket crossmember, 15mph, and a huge metal plate in the road in the middle of the night downtown.
Now onto my new "new" rex.
Bought it for $600 from an ht member . .
THen got @$$ Raped from Password for a jdm front end . .
Found a Driver door and a rear bumper. I needed a car asap so I sent it to get painted by some ghetto 2 time convict I knew at the time. .
THe car at his house gettin' some good ghetto backdoor paint . .
Took it home cause he was taking too long to do a half *** job and I needed a car to get to work . .
That weekend put the motor in . .
Had some problems with the wiring, decided to use the whole wire harness from my old rex and got the car running . . .
gave it a backyard bath . . .
After some time I cleaned it up a little, got some rims and had it running pretty good for what it was. Valvetrain was extremely noisy due to the lmas dying.
One day my friend Peter came back from hiding from a year ago and told me he would trade his rhd front clip for my highend header. Which of course I did. .
Then I stripped my firewall down to do the firewall conversion
I then sent it to somebody to cut and swap the firewall. I also had them paint the engine bay as well since my last ghetto painter did a crappy job.
Swapped the old tired b16 back in with the loud a$$ lmas just to get it running. And drove it home without a windshield.
Cleaned it up again and got it running good . .
Since it was rhd I felt it needed a bit more power, so I dropped in a jdm gsr . .
I'm waiting for my Cold Air to come in and my crossmember so I can put this on . .
So far right now the car sits like this . .
As far as mods go this is what I got so far:
ENGINE:
JDM GSR
SPoon T-Body
Skunk2 Intake Manifold
ITR Cams
Spoon Cam Gears
Hytech 'replica' header "waiting on my Avid Crossmember to come in"
Stock exhaust till I get the header put on
Converted obd-1
SUSPENSION:
Tein Basic Coilovers
Spoon Front Bar
Spoon Rear Bar
Vision Camber Kit
Rolling on some GT3s with Azenis. Gots lot more planned but just need time.
THanks for checking this out.
Mad Shutout to all my homies who help make this happen, you guys know who you are, without you guys this car would not exist. Thanks.

I agree, unless the picture made it better then it really is.
