I've decided to recompile my various threads into one big giant everlasting thread of heartache, friendship, and awesome car stories. I'm allowed to do this because I re-sponsored and I have OCD - suck it.

Part 1: Bringing her home
Part 2: Whoring her out first time around
Part 3: Disaster strikes
Part 4: Whoring her out the second time around
Part 5: Disaster strikes again
Part 6: Disaster strikes one more time
Part X: Hanging out with friends

Part 1: Bringing her home

Brought her home in July of 2012 - Bone stock 99' automatic base model. $2700
It was filthy, but I cleaned her up nicely the following week.

Part 2: Whoring her out first time around

I bought a few items after catching the cosmetic mod bug - JDM lights make you twerk sumthin'!

Tinted the windows, everyone tints their windows. Tinted with Lumar - the business I must say.

I bought a bra and rain guards…. wasn't sure where I was going with that. But, hey I bought em'.

Caught the black wheel fetish fad - sorry not sorry - black wheels still scream "I wanna race you in my slow family sedan."

Stubby antenna - for the ladies

Someone decided to smash up my perfectly good hood - so I did what any sane person would do…

Well… we were going Nissan weren't we?

Part 3: Disaster strikes

It was a very sad morning July 4th 2013 - Yvette burst her bubble and bent all her valves at one in the morning after a failed S3 cam installation.
So after a few days I went out and bought a VE. That was cool…. except for the step-down was utter failure. Learned a lot about my car and how it works so there's a plus side to blowing up your own engine.

Part 4: Whoring her out the second time around

So after the VVL swap…. you gotta slam it of course - hooked up some B&G coils (old school from what I hear) but still handle like a dream, fantastic for daily driving. Of course firs thing I did was slam this ho! - because I'm a newb and Javi and MJ made fun of me…

Then I painted my sport wheels white, following the footsteps of Lou & Paul's white wheel gang.

The B&G coils are identical to the old Intrax coil overs in design, the spring is the same design, for comfort, but the spring rates are bumped up quite a bit 10/8
the only thing these coils used stock were the bumpstops - which I replaced with energy ones.
