thats right! this day last year was when i got my RPS13. It cam all crapy, like any other s13. heres the list of mishaps on this car:
My car is Blue and had messed up blue interior.
-It had water in the hatch
-bubbled up tint
-cracked dash
-wet socks
-stereo wire running everywhere with no deck
-Spoiler that sagging to one side
-a few chinese menus inside the car
-smelled like the guy smoked alot in the car
ripped and worn seat
-cluster wasn't working right
-couldn't pass smog
-hatch interior, everything was out of order
-rust in few places but no biggie
-had tear drop rims with 3 center caps
-Had the super cool factory 240sx visor on the window
-some candy in the car, but looked like he put it in the mouth and put it back in the wrapper
-some pens
--non functional alarm
-a few dents on the outside
-a U Hual tow hook on the rear
-some of the black tape was gone on the car
-no name blue floor mats
-some choptsticks
-and some palces were sticky
o yea and the car is a auto!!!
thats all i can think of now.
now for the improvements!
-changed the whole interior to Black!:cool: along with new balck dash
-plus got some s14 seats
-Removed all the tint
-got a digital cluster
-Got some new front fenders
-my stereo is almost going to be in
-Got tein S techs and grex strut bar(didn't really feel anything but o well)
-Car started over heating in the summer, so i changed:
-Thermostat
-theermostat housing
-Radiator
-radiator cap(Trust one:cool: )
-coolant
and flushed the system
Then 3 weeks ago my car started to not run. so i got a new fuel pump,which is on the way
a walbro that is:)
I also took the flimsy spoiler off on the first week i got the car.
-Painted the tear drops to gunmetal, hey..had to make them look better
So now my next plan on the car is going 5spd baby!!!even though its not much to you guys but its alot to me.I have put alot of time and money on this car to make it the way i like it. hopefully the swap will be done in 2 weeks. anyoen care to help if they aer in the neighborhood?:)
My next plans are:
-get a alarm, so no one steal my car now since you know i have no alarm
-get new tires
-new shocks
-new spoilerless hatch
-and get lsd
After this i gotta save up for my Okinawa, japan trip:)
heres a pic of it the beginning of summer

havent had a real chance to take recent pics, cause i got no digital camera.
but anyways i think i did a ok job for a year. just showing my "accomplishments" so far. any thoughts and opiniions welcome, even though its not really poll or anythnig.
