This is where I will be documenting things that happen to the car, and maybe other things, idk

Here she is in all her stock glory, picked up this beauty back in Nov. 2011. It's a 96 with 120,000 on the odo, and came with thoses fiiiiine Enkei Whatevers.



I got a dog as well



In typical clubroadster fashion I picked up a set of racelands, xxr's, cheapo falkens, and isc top hats for the rear.





Tires 195/50/15



Some goodies


Test fit 15x8 et 0 (I stuck to the clubrodster manual with this setup, standard issue)



Massaging (I had algea issues, you wanna fight about it?)


Next was a r-speed front lip, stupid hat included. (Dragula, and redfred18t cameos)


Did that for a while

Next up was H2oi 2013.

Bright and early.


The real JDM, rest stop photoshoot.


Made it



On the drive back I lost clutch pedal pressure, had to pump the clutch for 9hrs. Replaced the the master, slave, and put a braided steel line in when I got back.

My replacement Meister came in not long after I got back from H2o

Shortly after getting the clutch sorted, it was time for another Lock City event at Limerock Park (Driftober). Dragula lent me his foxy body wheels with some adapters so I could burn some 15" tires I had.


This was a really fun event for me
