Holy s***, go outside, go get laid, do SOMETHING to make yourself not seem so pathetic. It's just a build thread. We all know what the car looks like now, so it's no shocker.

Well the car definitely looked like a proper tuner car. It had paint kool rimzz, not to mention it was a Silvia. I started driving it around more often around town, to school, to work.

Oh yeah. Work.

I worked in Downtown Long Beach city at the time. Long Beach is very notorious for its zero-tolerance on "tuner cars". The police here doesn't mess around when it comes to modified vehicles and they will suffocate you in your own car with the amount of citations they will rip off and shove into your car.



After this night, I started sucking up to the law enforcement employees by offering discounts on food and drinks at the small Cafe I worked at. I'd always make sure to wave "hello" to them.

Oh and those pesky Parking Enforcement A-holes. God I hate those pricks. If you are even 1 second late on throwing in a god-damned quarter into your meter, BAM! There goes your pay for the day. $46.00 gone away to the stupid city of Long Beach.

So I always made sure to wave to them too and offer them free cokes.

Smart man right hurr <--

Yep. I was pretty satisfied with it....



Even if a pile of hot garbage had a more aesthetic appeal than the misaligned front end of my car.





I remember when I posted the above picture on the internet, so many people were like, "ZOMG your car is so low bro how do you do it?"

Well that bumper was CLEARLY not mounted, it was just resting on the ground. Morons. It's called a Myspace angle, remember? Chyeah.

I drove it to D1GP Anaheim like this. It was still open downpipe, and sounded rad. Since I work with FD and D1, I get to drive the car into the pit area to park, so I parked it here in the morning and drove it in afterwards. It turned many, many heads.





After driving this car to the meets a few times, one of my friend's, "Crazy Rob" told me my car looked like a piece of junk from the front. He told me he could have everything aligned perfectly. I told him I really didn't care, that I would drift the crap out of it and crash it again anyways.

Next day, he pulls up to my house with a car full of tools, a welder, some ratchet strap, and a bucket of Elbow Grease.

And so we fixed my front end that day.





I honestly didn't think it was possible for the front to ever be properly aligned again without chopping off the core support and welding in a new one. But I was quite obviously wrong.

I was so happy, it was inexplainable. To express my happiness, I drove it to the grocery store to buy a pack of cookies to celebrate.



Then this infamous picture was taken by Drew Fishbein of our Mulsanne cars at Willow Springs International Raceway.



I broke the car at that event. Big surprise.



Check out that caster! Yeah!

After a month, I hadn't driven the car very much. I finally pulled it back out of the garage to drive it again.





And it was at this point that I decided to depart from the gutted interior craze and head back into the "caged and full interior" club. What a great move on my part.

Got kick panels, carpet, A pillar plastics, remounted my turbo timer to inside my din pocket, put in a headunit, all I was waiting on was a gauge pod for the center console so that I could finally mount my APEX'i gauges.



All Star Bash was now almost here. Originally, I hadn't planned to go because of a lack of funds. I was saving up money for new coilovers because I absolutely hated my Megans.

Then one day, I said F*ck it, I'm going to ASB. So I called John at CityTire Online and ordered 10 tires and got my car ready.







I took these pics during my final test drive before All Star Bash. It drove/felt great. I was ready for the most epic drift event this side of the Pacific.

[Kalypso]

Crazy rob is the man.

[Didderson]

Nice lengthy update for the peoples... You added a cliffhanger to the last pic though! haha... always keeps people wanting more. You're good at covering your a** with the cops now I guess, that's a skill I could work on..

I like this quote . Just pointing it out for everyone lol.

[Demonspeed]

Dude you don't get pulled over for all those damn stickers on your windsheild??? O_O WTF, I got pulled over all the time in my old GS-T for having an apex'i sticker on the corner of the glass

[P.Web]

[Speedy7_7]

I just got the internet again. Great build teddy!! The last time I saw anything about your car it was all boso. I really like your style, keep up the great work. the bumper stiches look incredible.

[BrianHarte]

I am glad you went to ASB.

[NismoZRS]

i really like this thread, not to mention the car. I have no intentions to thread jack (as if anyone could ever steal the spotlight from the awesome car that resulted in this thread) but i picked up an 03 rsx-s and just waiting to get it running and enjoy it for a couple of months before getting another kouki.congrats on style.
