thought it would be a nice idea to start a thread for stuff like this

ill start

i got my car june 03

going on my third summer w00t.

i lost all the pics of my car when it was stock

ok lets start

oldest pic i have to date gona guess its july 03 here  
i meet these hooligans who have the same car as me, we hang out and wash cars and do doughnuts in parking lots and call it drifting. then we start a drift club called stage one drift crew.  
now we are all really close friends.

Ok, here she is.

This is the guy I bought her from in TO, on the day I looked at her and put down the deposit. Finally the year of searching was over, only to open a new chapter…

This is the car I had for 8 years (amongst a slew of others)  
 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/Theo23/86fiero.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/Theo23/86fiero.jpg)

This past winter, I installed a new CenterForce clutch (thanks Chris), Bing’s RUCA’s, and changed all the fluids.  
 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/Theo23/My240Construction.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/Theo23/My240Construction.jpg)

And now I can do this!!!

My parents are building a new house. I thought it would be a good Photo-op on her first night out after the long winter.
