I use this for autocross and the occasional spirited drive, it used to be my daily until February, but since I got back into a semi and bought A pickup to tow this around she just relaxes
Don't car so much about looks but the driveability and engine I very much care about

I bought it for $1000 with the JDM B20 and not much on the car was done correctly, lcas had no bushings, Sturt bushings bad, 3 different sized tires, P2e obd2B, hardly anything worked, clutch leaked, holes in the trunk, clusterf*** of an exhaust

It's a 97 but a 00 front end, interior, dash, and harness

So I fixed it all, got 16x7s, nice tires, a p06, and went to the autocross, where I broke motor mounts and blew the seals on my master cylinder

Fixed all that and she's doing good

Then I put the JG303s in and my subframe is shot so that's where we are now

The 6th of may we get the new subframe installed and it get tuned

Oh also the car is totally gutted. Still have to install a passenger seat cuz mom wants to go for a lap on mothers day

00 front end
50/50 tail lights
Black housing headlights
Si wing cuz it had holes in the trunk

Battery in trunk, which I'm sure is too small

Also the cams and lack of tune give it a unique idle

That's what is is now, except the front bumper cuz I took it off for my friend to fix my headlights

I also want to do this because I like it

My friend is driving the car to work on and get it tuned

Pray for him cuz there's a lot of stuff I didn't finish lol... For example he's bolting the drivers seatbelt back on as I type

Well the tire wall came AFTER the UCA broke

Between all of there we decided a new shell might be a good option... The rear quarter panels are a lot of bondo

I also broke my header, all the motor mounts and the new(used) subframe broke too

So I'm gonna find an ugly duckling 2.0

The fenders are thin as hell and all the stuff wasn't broke because of a lil rubber lovin

This body was abused before me, slammed on offset 15s and cambered to hell, swap wasn't don't right, s**t breaks constantly... I just accelerate the breaking process when I race

It's more money hungry than a boat
