    The appearance of my car is the exact same as it was when I got it, except for the Cobra R wheels and new tires... No hood, no spoiler, no paint job yet heh.

    And, as of last year to current. I stopped racing, stripped the decals for a cleaner look and got a paint job:




    Later, QD.

    My miata isn't much to look at now, so i'll do the car that i did before it.







    here there is a 3 or 4 month spot where the car is black primer, gets gutted, is on the stocks, and has no front bumber... use your imagination, it was ugly

    dropped about 7k at one time. to get this







    then a bus failed to yeild to me in the rain... absolutely nothing i could do



    broke one of the motor mounts... ripped it from the block

    I appreciate the kind words...I just got the car back from the paint/body shop last Tuesday...I thought the new 05 bumper and headlights were awesome compared to say a body kit...I wanted something that looked like it should have been there to begin with and not radical like some of the body kits you see out there...the car is an 03 and yet I feel like I am driving a new car now...

    I started out with my 1993 240SX Fastback SE, bought it all stock...



    3 months later the KA in it blew...so i changed it out for a 90k mile KA and cleaned the engine bay



    then i slapped on a big megan 3'' exhaust and put on a spoilerless hatch and primered it



    changed the rims a couple times



    and lowered it



    i then sold that car and bought a 1990 pignose hatch with a SR



    spun the rod bearing due to a bad oil pump, rebuilt the motor



    and changed the motor



    and then sold the car on a tow truck



    then i bought a 1999 Integra GS-R, 70k original miles and i was the 2nd owner , ALL STOCK and full leather interior , beautiful car. (cant find pictures of it stock , but i slammed it, took off the spoiler and painted the blades gunmetal and was left with this





    i traded that for a 2001 integra type-r (current)



    it is lowered on JDM Suspension technique springs and the engine is now built.
