Made an introduction a while back, but wanted to make a general log of some general updates, goodies and dreams and wishes for the car in the future!!
October 2013: Purchased the car from a gentleman who previously owned and bought the car in Seattle. (2nd owner) Roughly 147k miles. Had most of the original receipts dating back to the first owner.

Subtle mods include suede shift boot (in the works) and painted, gutted, and meshed earlier legacy grille.

Id say Im pretty bent on keeping the car as CLEAN as possible, inside, under, and out. :D

I'd say I'm a "JDM Purist" if you will, really hope to reflect some of my love of Japanese domestic market goods eventually. The three magic words I strive for with this car are Timeless, Authentic, and Rare. The next few months, hopefully I'll be able to do so!!! Been out of a job for a while, so the progress has been slow. Just recently being hired at a new place is driving me car crazy! Aesthetics I plan to get in the near future would be the usual: JDM headlights, corner tails, turn signal indicators, fogs, and grille.
Really would like to get a nicer clutch setup, Exedy stage 1, possibly a lighter flywheel to go with it. that, and shifter bushings, new short shifter to tidy up the interior and complete the suede shift boot setup I have in mind.
New suspension all around, Not too set on any particular set of coilovers yet, but would love to do ALL of the bushings, links, ball joints etc from whiteline, along with a rear sway bar as well.
New axleback would be nice too, I dont mind the OBX one... but always wanted a Stromung!!
If i can find a decent set of 4 pots and 2s, rather it be from an 06 wrx or an 04 sti setup.... Id love to do that and stainess lines and DBA rotors all the way around.
WHEELS ARE A MUST...
thats all for now!
