NEW CAR

Hey Everyone

First off, I hope everyone had good holidays and a happy new year!

Second off, I KNOW THE PICS ARE 'MEH'. COULDN'T FIND A PICTURE OF THE FRONT ON MY COMPUTER...ITS 2:31am CUT ME SLACK
[For all of those who don't know, last time I uploaded pics of my Honda Fit, they were horrible haha.]

So if you haven't figured it out by now, yes, I'm the guy who had that 2008 Nighthawk Black Pearl Honda Fit with white Konig Candys.

In regards to the turbo build....WELL, I got some news hahaha.
So you know I bought a kit for a '99 civic ex for about $400? I was going to sell some useless parts I had from it for $100 to a guy. We tried to meet up about an hour drive for each of us, but he realized he forgot his wallet when I got there and it was a long way. On the way home he offered to buy the whole kit for $600. At the same time, I found a member on FitFreak who was selling an HKS kit I was going to buy for $1800. I figured, hey, might as well just go that way to start. So I sold the kit, got a job, and started saving for the HKS kit. P.S. I'm only 17

By the time I had come close to getting the kit, I started aimlessly looking at other cars. I stumbled across a white zenki s14 for $9800 I do believe may actually have been posted on here. Loved it to death, asked my dad ( yes I'm a yougin' ) if I could get it. To my surprise, he said if I got rid of the Fit to get another car, and payed for it myself, I could. So, giddy with excitement, I eventually sold my fit for $7500 bucks. Payed off what we owed (used car lot) and with a (meager) wad of cash, I went out and bought a grey '91 S13.

I know, I know, boo for leaving the Fit and the turbo build world. I wish I could still have one, honestly! They are fun little cars, and they're sexy. I was just looking for something that was more ready for me to get some tools out with. I figure if I'm going into Mechanical Engineering, heading in the automotive direction, why not? A project car essentially. Also, RWD was calling my name, so I figured an s13 would show me the ways of RWD ;D

So far with the s13 I've done the following mods/replacements:

>Installed Carpet ( oh yeah, it was rhino lined...yikes )
>Took off some stupid Dildo knob that was on there yikes....(not even the fancy dildos just a damn copper open ended pipe about 12 inches long no joke..)
>Re-wired the Radio to function
>Installed like-new condition rear seats
>Installed new driver seat
>Sleepy-eye mod
>New front rims. (There's a story here haha. Spacers + wide rims + 3 lugs causes me to lose two studs, have a tow truck bring it home, and replace the right front wheel knuckle/hub. I said forget all that, reduce the width by 1.5 inches, so yeah haha. At least now I have drift spares )
>New power-steering pressure hose
>Adjusted front coilovers. The car was so low to the ground when I bought it (talk about slammed) the fenders were sitting on front tires and I was scraping frame on my driveway. Had to build ramps to get it in....wooo hahaha.

In the future i'm looking for a good deal on a paint job...trying to pick a theme here. Royal Blue with gold rims....Candy red with gold or black rims, or Nighthawk black (oh the days) with polished rims. I don't know yet haha but I have some saving to do before that even happens haha, just a premature thought.

Honestly, the reason why I got rid of the fit was because...
1. Heavy monthly payment since it was financed through a used car lot
2. Too new to actually "work" on if you know what I mean haha. I was honestly afraid to mess something up every time I worked on it. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the fact that it was new and very very clean. But, I figured, I'm a teenager, might as well have a older sporty car I can fix up now instead of later when I'll need a nice car to actually go to work in.
3. I really want to go through a mix of cars before I settle down after college. I think it'd be a really cool experience.

I actually wrote a book I think.....like a sir?

Anyways, if you even manage to get through my book of nonsense, I hope to see some of you all at C&O meet this Sunday. I'll be bringing my s13.

Thanks for looking, please don't slander, i'm totally open to reasonable criticism although I haven't actually had the chance to personalize the car yet haha. I hope you all are just as supportive as you were with my Fit build.

Happy Holidays!
