This has been a longtime coming and im finally at a point in my life where i can start building her the way I want. I got my car when I was stationed in Japan beginning of 2012.

I worked on her almost every weekend. Fixing up everything from coolant lines to replacing window moldings and every little tuneup i can do. She was whored out from two other service members on base before hand, and it showed.

I did my best learning about every little thing about it, usually through trial and error.

After 2 years i moved to Phoenix and worked on her when i could. I had it re-tunned and worked on the little bits but i had no time or money for that matter.

Looking forward to this. Must have been a big change from Misawa to Phoenix! Good luck with the build always loved red silvias.
