I'm aiming for a more blog style thread this time round, hopefully capturing everything i've done and am yet to do, plus I have the help of a shiny new camera I bought earlier this year.
The story so far, at 17 believe it or not I couldnt insure a Subaru and it was the car I wanted to own, so at 19 with a respectable insurance quote after a few years of driving nothing special I purchased my first performance car, the Civic, which I actually grew very attached too. The problem was i always wanted more and after a few attempts and making the switch to an STI I all but gave up.
Then in February 2010 I was made an offer I couldnt refuse (Corleone undertones) and in three days from viewing, the Civic was sold, and I was the proud owner of the car I wanted.
First things first it needed a detail, being the oldest car I had owned the paint looked less than its best.
^Joe to the rescue....
After this started the need for better handling, it felt barge like in comparison to the Civic, which was my main focus since the previous owner had already bumped up the power to a respectable 320/322. With the new stance this was the look at JAE last year.
