Ive finally decided to post up my car and its change since ive owned it. Lots of blood sweat and tears have been put into this project of mine. Im nowhere near done complete.





Basically This car has no imediate future with the direction its going. Basically im trying to replace much of the oem stuff, and make it a complete head turner. Yes its been autocrossed, yes its been drifted but id like to step it up before i do so.



I bought the car on december 18th 2010. Looked like this..
3666

then i got bored and decided to be funny

Time went by, and decided a clean paintjob, wheels and a good slam would be nice..

Well once i decided i wanted to make it something completely unique and one to remember, i got to work. Tested my limits of mechanics and my credit lol. Lots of parts rolled in, got reealllly good deals on some, Like my racing beat type 2 bumper i got free, straight trade for stock bumper, my cage was only $250. Car got sent to a friends for its paint make over..
