Well, After owning this car for 4ish years, And many different "builds" on it, I think I finally have enough to be worthwhile to make a thread, as things are coming to an end.
Bought the car when I was 18, I am not 22.. Alot of things change, and this thread should doccument this fairly well.
I will seperate the thread by Versions.
We will call this
Version: 1.0
So, The car started its life as a BEAUTIFUL 90 Hatch, Stock suspension when I bought it, It had some soundsystem, a Custom made exhaust, along with headers, and "gladman" tail lights.. The car didnt say this way for long..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/DSC_0061.jpg
Version 1.1 Than came..
The car than got some blown K-sport coils, cause all I wanted to be was LOW! Bought some 17x7's and thought I was HARD AS FUCK!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Imgp1054.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/P7160256.jpg
Car stayed like that for a bit, minor editions of body kit peices, Untill the day It got Vi'd...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/VI.jpg
At that point I stopped caring.. With that came-
Version 2.0
Version 2.0 was probably my Favorite..
Car was clean and simple with such mods as:
xxr 002's 16x8 -0
Gp sports kit,
Megan Drift spec Exhaust
Cusco 6pt bolt in cage.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/IMG_0344.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/DSC_0109-1.jpg
Version 2.50
Although version 2.0 was great, I needed more oomph.
So to add to the growing mod list,
DSM 14b turbo
Log mani
Sr-smic
Aem Fic Ect..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/DSC_9970.jpg
Drove the car like that for ages, It was super fun untill the timing chain started to rattle like crazy, couldnt keep up with the oil leaks, than the Turbo ate it self..
So I sold that setup off, and started a new chapter in the book.
Version 3.0
This is really where everything with the car went to hell in a hand basket..
I pulled the car off the road In hopes of tossing my build together..
This is what I started out with..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/IMG00252-20100721-1753.jpg
Anyone that has built a motor knows, It never stops at what you think it will.. Soon the AN lines started coming.. One piece stainless that.. one piece stainless that.. and Dolla bills start throwing down..

That gave us a rough idea of where everything would sit, and what we thought would clear, Soon didnt even come close..
We quickly went back to the drawing board, and choped the mani appart, clocked the turbo on it, and built from there..

Finished the product looked like this..
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1219.snc4/155160_10150350916680228_506100227_16206671_122017 2_n.jpg

Leaving me with an engine spec that looked like this:
Ka24e 10xxx of stock rebuild.
Aem F/IC
All emissions removed, Egr welded/butterflys removed.
O&J racing Stage 2 Hydrolic cam
Turbonetics T3 super60 Hi-fi
-4 Earls SS feed line
-12 Stainless return
Custom Stainless 3" down pipe
3" Megan test pipe
3" Megna drift spec cat back
Emusa 38mm wastegate 9psi
Gladman Topmount manifold
Stainless 2" atmospheric wg dump
Stainless 2.5" 1 piece hot pipe
Stainless 2.5" 1 piece cold pipe
Ebay Fmic core
Oem Fuel rail modified for -8 ss lines
Aeromotive Regulator -6 return
Md Auto Catch Can
-10 feed/return
Md Auto Coolent overflow tank
300zx fuel filter
Various T-bolt clamps and couplers
At this point, I spent 3 months figuring out issues, burning through over 12 pairs of plug wires on cylanders 2/3..
Finally purchased a DEI turbo blanked and solved that issue, Than bringing me to the issue of the AEM FIC..
It seemed everytime I turned the Key and started the car, the tune would change, The car was hella fast, sometimes it would run amazing, sometimes, It wouldnt run worth shit.. After spending the sums of money I did on this setup.. I realized it was go Standalone or bust..
After dealing with problem after problem, I lost sight on this engine..
I figured the 1500 + for standalone than my time to wire, and yada yada yada, not knowing what was going to go wrong next, I would be better off to go back to simplicity.. Atleast that would get me to the track, Where I really at heart wanted to be!
The last time the car was driven was to Driven To Perform to represent my buddys shop..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Driven%20to%20perform/DSC_6751-01.jpg
Version 3.5
The car sat for a long time, while I tried to figure out if I was going to go Standalone/Different setup..
Needless to say, I started a new project, What better way to teach your self to weld than to stitch weld the chassis Firewall back...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/281239_10150776982455228_506100227_20000646_450600 2_n2.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/DSC_6915-01.jpg
This was one hell of a project, I never knew how much really went into this before starting it..
Version 4.0 - The RedHead Stepchild
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/IMG_1583.jpg
Out came the SOHC.. When the engine left, I felt a huge weight off my chest..
At this point I didnt know what direction I was going engine wise Sr/Rb20/25.. I was just looking for a good deal.
I picked up a Rb20 off my boy Pete from Neptune Drift, for a hell of a deal..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Richmond-20111129-00040.jpg
Sat on it for a while, saving money to collect parts..
Meanwhile installed my angle mod's.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Richmond-20111108-00025.jpg
The car sat for a while.. Than one night, I was cruizing Facebook, when my buddy posted up that he still had his SR from an abandonded build.. It was within my price range, and in theback of my head I knew the Liniar power of the RB wouldnt compliment my driving style.. So I quikcly flogg'd the Rb at a slight proffit, and Jumped on the SR.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/DSC_7591.jpg
It Came with all the nessicary supplies:
Tranny
Os giken Ts2b
Apexi Downpipe
Rad.
And a shit ton of other goodies..
Only downside a blown t28.
All for the low low price of 1800 CDN.
At that point I started stripping the bay, for paint.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Richmond-20120218-00128.jpg
With a little bit of cursing and fighting she went into the gape beautifuly..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Richmond-20120218-00129.jpg
I than started modding the Ic piping from the Ka- to fit.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Richmond-20120219-00134.jpg
That than left me with this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Maccie/Richmond-20120226-00143.jpg
At some point I aquired some Kouki Tails to put the finishing touches down on the exterior (minus needing paint)
