Driver side Mirror?
 

Isn't illegal to drive a car with out a Driver side mirror?

^The car wasn't running when it was in that condition.

Haha, you mentioned the mirror, but not the taillights?

I saw it didn't have the taillights but I already know it is illegal to drive with out taillights but i wasn't sure about the driver side mirror. My car has no driverside door and I was told that you can drive with out a door as long as you have a driverside mirror.

You're seriously thinking about driving your FC without a door?

Transportation purposes
 

No I was not considering it but I don't have the money to fix it right now and I need something to drive and it is the only car I own. I didn't do it cause of security reasons and if it rains I am Screwed.

First those pics are when the car was gutted and not being driven.

Second I would not recommend driving without a driver side door or mirror! lol

Anyways no updates here car hasn't change and neither has my financial situation...I'm broke!! But only 1.5 years til I graduate from UCLA!!

New christmas update!!! 12-26-08
 

So, I actually did work on the car, this is crazy lol, and you know what I got more in store hopefully for the next couple months. So, as usual I am back home for christmas break. I have way too much time on my hands, hardly any money, and a walmart a mile away. I walk near the paint section and see some paint...I should paint some of my car!!! I picked a couple fenders from the jyard nothing great but better than what I had. They are S4 fenders so the bumper line up wasn't the best. Check it out and lemme know what you think.

Now ya'll probly think I'm crazy cause I went back to purple lol....you know what I probly am. But I like this one better, it's not as sparkly and not as bright as the last color. I like the two tone look much better too. Once I get more time i'll finish it off and finally strip all the wheels back to chrome.

Things to come, 6 new tires, finally some front springs so I can install the GC set up, and tune up the cooling system with some new coolant and thermostat.

I wanna post up old vids for you guys cause I think some links got lost. To start off:

This vids is about 2.5-3 years old now! This is at altamont when I started and still driving the blk FC. I sucked! lol

This next one is just after I got the red car up and running. I'd say about 2 years ago now.

Here is a recent vid but the car handled very badly. The car would overheat after a run if I pushed it too hard or stayed out too long. Then all my tires were crap. I shouldn't have driven at this event but I just threw stuff together last minute and wanted to go with my friends to have fun. This is from sept 2008

*these are my two good friends Jay Jay (red 240) and Derryl (hachi) driving with me. They're like my drift kids, I saw them from the very beginning and grow to such good drivers now. These guys will be real good in the future with more practice.

nice vids... a guy i know in my platoon is a big hachi fan. he has a purple hachi. i'm the only one that sticks up for him when everyone makes fun of his little POS. i'm not much into drifting, but they were still cool vids. glad to see your having fun in a controled enviroment

More purple drank!

Wooo christmas came late! UPDATE: 1-16-09
 

I got some new tires! And what deal, $50 a piece brand new. Goodyear eagle F1 tires. 205-50-16's, 280 treadwear, and I love the smell of new tires! :D

For now the chill by my bathroom door! It sucks living in an apartment with hardly any room!

Also I finally got front springs! No pics of those cause they were mailed to my nor-cal address, but I should get em at the end of the month. I order them straight from ground control. They are pretty short, 5 inch with approximately 430lb rating. I am just going to run a ground control set up for awhile and see what happens. Eventually I need to buy shocks too, but I will make it work like I always do. I might also be getting a role cage soon (crosses fingers) so we shall see. I'll update as usual. Adios!

Hey in that last vid u posted, does ur friend Jay Jay go by JC and/or zilivia on fourms?

and i still need to get my fc running....

I have that last issue of super street on the right.

Alex P's hot pink widebody time attack fd. Tits.

theres a little knob switch right about the parking light/headlight function knob. it keeps the headlights up without the lights being on.

Nuthing too special just some recent shot of when I went up north to my friend bday drift event...check it out.

I know I know the car is kinda ugly, but I don't have time. I managed to get it running really well tho so I'm happy with that, despite the mismatch look.
