Signed Up A While Back, First Post

**wetamup2k3g** · 02-18-2011, 11:06 PM

What's up, fam, introducing myself and my G, it's a grey 2003 ES I bought used in 2004, it's got 163,000 on the clock and gets driven about 50 miles daily Monday thru Friday.

It's boney stock, but I think that's why it has been so reliable, all these miles and the only times it left me stranded was when the #3 spark plug tried to shoot out the hood (my fault, rushing when I was changing the plugs) and when the LR damper-to-knuckle bolt broke.

Other than that, original motor, trans, axles, ball joints, motor mounts, AC compressor, shocks, struts, calipers, a whole host of things that other folks have had fail on them.

Excuse these old pics, my car is dirty right now and an 11-month old and a pregnant-on-bedrest wife (I know, I didn't even let the thing heal) keep me very busy.

All three of my girls together

When the wife gets back to working (probably not until after the summer), my plans are to get some 17"s, put a double-din radio with navigation in, retrofit the heads with some FX-R projectors (can't do them eBay's, sorry), eventually JDM the front, attempt to retro the tails with LED's (far from that right now) and some other minor tweaks.

Why mod the G now? 'Cause I'm a little older now and am starting to get the ends to do what I been wanting to do before but couldn't afford it.

Anyway, thanx for reading my post, fam!

Thanks. I used to drive to Dover everyday back in '03 for this courier job I had. I bought everything I needed out there 'cause it's tax free.

Thanks for the replies, fam. I love that car like a child, so I try to keep it clean. It was the first car I ever bought with my own ends and so I appreciate the difference it made and continues to make in my life, as far as personal transportation goes. I like that G owners have a place like this and I feel welcome here. Thanks again!!
