idk how committed im going to be to this, but i really like how people share their journey and as a way to get help/advice

use to be cool and my car looked like this



got bored so changed a few things and ended up like this



any who, i was going to part the car last year due to being really over spending all my money on this pos and driving around in a $1000 car with no a/c, no power steering, no stereo and driving to the sunny coast every second weekend it made me crave some mod cons

also after attending the JDM Garage training day with Naoki Nakamura and Miki Yabuuchi it made me realise that less is more and driving skill is number one (style and making it your own was important too) i hate to sound like a fan boy but seeing them drive and see them just jump into anyones car and just nail it was a really life changing experience







so the initial plan was to sell the car, use that money to buy a nice daily and have a very basic car later on when i had the money

i got a new job that pays alot better then the job i had so im in a position where i can keep the car, plus i only sold aero, radiatior and coilovers so my car was for the most part still complete

anyway i was going to go for a super basic looking boring street car but i just though "fuck it, if im going to have a drift car i should style it how i want"


anyways long story short, got a few bargins and mainly JDM Garage hooking me up


in short ive always liked D-Max was lucky enough to source a type 3 kit locally, i wanna end up eventually with type 2 but this works for now

managed to get some zeal function x but fronts were fucked, got some g-masters but the fronts were fucked too

so ezza hooked me up with some silk roads which were brand new

so here is where i am as you have prob seen on my grams and fb etc



next on the list ;

- cradle (mine is damaged from im guessing a gutter slap not long after i got the car)

- mono block wheels (either T7R or 57 Extreme)

- steer tyres

- alignment

- run up on the dyno and general check @ 101 motorsports

- body work and paint

- half or full cage (person at matsuri who rolled kinda scared me)

- no doubt other crap ive forgotten

Car was great and looking forward to the new style. Glad you were able to get a new gig and not sell it haha, keep up the good work !

[Smitty64life]

Ya just start driving it and enjoy what you have

[OBEEWON]

Totally agree on simple cars. OEM+

[StatticMyke]

Looks great. Cant wait to see it progress

[chumdab]

yeah i think ill have oem + aero for the street and kit there when i want to run it

aussie car laws suck here so see what happens

[chumdab]

SOOOOO

i have the internet again

in regards to car, because im poor and just want it back on the road im just gonna go with the super simple dubbed the 'downshift p plater' look (thanks joel haha)

mainly because i have everything already minus wheels and a rear bar ill do this for the time being



looks hella plain but it will do for the time being

pretty keen on staggered 57c6's in pink but with subtle street car ill prob bitch out for the grey ones or chrome kiwamis is something im interested in

also sorry team but i dont think yellow is going to happen either, prob just keep green for now but on the hunt for a nice solid colour

this grey i painted the interior and bay of one of my old civics is something ive been thinking about a fair bit



the goal will be to get it back to this but a different colour
