Hello fellow MR folks.

I got in a small accident the other day. Lady "didn't see me" and smacked me right in the drivers side fender. Wasn't the biggest wreck ever, but it sure screwed up my day, big time. Just some fender damage, slight hood damage, and thats pretty much it. BARELY missed my wheels, and seeing that my only prized possession on my car right now ARE my wheels, I immediately looked at the wheel before anything. She wasn't touched, thanks the lord...

The very same day I got in the accident, I was getting ready to PayPal a dude some cash for my coilover setup. Shit happened, so I had to flake on him. Therefore, im left with a raggedy ass fender/bumper. Great.

Anywho...
I thought this would be a wonderful time AND a great bonding experience (with me and my gay lover), the NA.

But lets back this up a little bit.

July of 2010, I got my Integra stolen (straight out the honda scene, whoop whoop), and was carless for about 2 months. Seeing that being carless, i'd have to ride my bike everywhere, I figured you couldn't get no pussy on a sweet fixie with pink-ass wheels. Now I have a long time friend of mine, his mom, had a 1991 Miata sitting in her garage for about 3 years, so every time I came over i'd beg her to sell it to me. She wouldn't give. It was her garage queen. So I stopped begging her.

In september of 2010, I got a call from my buddy saying that he told his mom about my situation, and that she'd sell it to me for an EXTREMELY fair price. Very straight body, 115,xxx miles, CLEAN as dick. "FuckYeahWin!" #tigerblood. So I saved up my whopping $200 unemployment checks for a few weeks, and picked up this beaut. Got her smogged, blah blah blah, the usual...

This is what she started out as.

Didn't mod it really, but thought i'd be a bad fucker, and get a sweet shift knob, so I bought a RAZO 340r (hella japan-man). What can I say, im a ballah. (yeah I know, cool story bro)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k202/AerosolSkam916/0c35e498.jpg

So I didnt think that a damn shift knob was enough, so I started looking for some wheels. Searched for weeks on CL, and finally came across something you dont see to much on there. "Great condition SSR LongChamps FS". Fuck yeah *Email Seller*. Hit him up, got that shit for a stupid-steal. Now to get 4x114 adapters. So i saw some on CL, and hit the guy up. Met up with him, and small world, it was RUS in his slammed black NA on 15x9 Shakotans.

Through the wheels on, got some Project Kics Leggdura Lug nuts, and called it a day.

Yes, I take pictures of everything and its mom.
I know "TL;DR bro!". But just bear with me, I have some things up my sleeve for the next 2 months or so. I wont let this emotional rant of a thread go to waste.

Few things added to the list that were purchased recently.


-Greddy Cat back exhaust.
-Momo Champion wheel.
-NRG Q/R and hub.
-HKS Filter
-RacingBeat intake
-Jackson Racing header

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k202/AerosolSkam916/Photo129.jpg



Intake in. Fuck-a-filter. Was shortly removed after I installed. Coilovers I installed got in the way of the intake, so it was a no go.

Went today to Evil Genius Racing to pick up a roll bar. Friend did most of the work putting it on yesterday, and I am very satisfied with it.
VERY nice bar, certified, powder coated, and comes with a harness bar already, all for $425. Can NOT beat that price.

Didn't get an alignment, this is what happens in a span of a month. Toe is no joke!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k202/AerosolSkam916/2a166148.jpg

So I went off and ordered T1R's for the fronts, then got lifetime alignment at Firestone.

Woke up the other day to this on my hood. Then the NEXT night, woke up to 3 of my tires being deflated completely, and de-valved.

Went out to warm my car up in the morning, it died. Long story short. Someone has been messing with my car over a span of 2-3 days.
Found this in my tank.

You chop a bow off of a soft top, along with latches. Then Project-G custom makes it to your sizing, then BAM!

So I haven't had ass for updates. Tax-return is coming, so I figured i'd spend it productively and make my car a racecar.

Plans:
-Oversized valves
-Valve springs
-Port & polish of the head
Low comp pistons
-Resurface

And maybe right when spring comes, turbo.

And here we begin.
