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

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

SpideyFan6010

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?

SpideyFan6010

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!!

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.

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!



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!

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.
