it's gonna take some time, but i'm ready to roll!! pay isn't well so it will take a while. i do apologize in advance, but i'm in no rush!!
LETS GO!
This is what i'm working with
The exterior is actually really good! got a few scratches on the trunk, a few [barely visable] paint chips, and of course the missing hubcap
That engine bay tho, is gonna need some work for sure
and of course that interior! i'm gonna possibly need a steering wheel soon. don't want to do that much to the interior though
Bruh I'll let you have my steering wheel lol. I'm about to get an NRG storm trooper soon. I already have a wheel adapter and quick release.
you can get your steering wheel re-upholstered. i think its only like about $100 and it would give you a clean look that nobody else here would have

- blows the dust off of this thread [lol] -
sorry in advance for the stories lol. as said at the beginning, this was gonna be a long process thread! glad that things are finally coming along though! since i started this thread i've simply been gathering parts for the ride [btw, i don't have a name for her as of yet lol]. i'd like to think that i made a LOT of process recently.
my FIRST mods were pretty simple. a spectre short ram intake and tinted tails. no need to get into detail about that
it should have started a lot earlier but as we all know, maintenance comes first over mods. after driving for about three years. i thought to myself, "when was the last time the belts had been replaced?!" the belt broke on us once [when my mom was driving it] and i know i didnt have the money for that repair / engine swap so 500dollars later, i was almost good to go! the next repairs will be a radiator fan replacement [the car starts to go over the halfway temp gauge when sitting for long periods of time w/ no movement] and also the window motor. summer time is coming soon and its not too cool driving around with three windows down.
Random pic with njjfudge. great guy! he's already offered to help w/ whatever i need and he's been a help with whatever questions i've had so far!
first thing i grabbed were my rota torques 17s. i was really liking them, but something told me to keep looking for better. they never even made it to my car. looking back i kinda wish i would've kept them
after a long period of looking for trades i was contacted by a guy that wanted to trade. he was actually the original owner [the owner who sold the wheel to the guy i got them from]! crazy, huh. i traded him for his set of OEM G35 18s.
of course it wasn't just that easy...
he was in the process of refinishing them and just never got to finishing them. i saw this as a way to have something on my ride that i actually "worked" on and restored. awkward i know lol. they still havent been done as of yet due to our crazy weather and my hectic work schedule. plus, my steelies have good tires so i'm in no rush.
my next purchase were my coilovers! got them for the low low. mainly because i have to get a shock and lower mount replaced. for the price i paid, it should be fine financially.
after sitting in the house bored, i thought "imma go outside and do something to the car." grabbed my moms hairdryer and my goo gone and debadged my trunk. nothint too major but dammit i'm proud of it! lol
this weekend, i'm hoping to grab this lip from a guy on facebook. he stated it didnt fit his car so he's selling it!
I grabbed a keyless trunk molding today as well [shouts out to dominicano]. hope to have it installed tomorrow
next things i'm hoping to get done is that window motor replacement and tints. and of course the replacement parts for my coilovers.
sent from dat Note2!!
post a pictrure of the intake and what progress you have now
