NFR wide body
Hello fellow s2kers ,
I always wanted to start a build thread but never did. So, I would like to document my evolution of my car from the day I got her until where she is now.
I first bought the car back in 2001, I drove it stock for any years, but one day I bought a cold air intake and the mod bug hit me hard. I first made a lot of small changes like most of us do, because I was on a tight budget, I bought a cold air, and a 5zigen exhaust and I was happy for a while but wanted more. I ended up buying some rims(not my style anymore) and lowered it 1 inch (see pic 1 and 2 below) not much after that I ended up also getting a lip and eye lids CF hood and CF mirrors(see pic 3 abd 4 below) Later I update my engine bay with a new Valve cover(see pic 5 below) time went on and I started not liking those chrome wheels, so I went with a different set of wheels and some coil overs(see pic 6 and 7 below) so I was happy with that look during that time , which was back in 08. So, one day I was driving home from work and the check engine light started to flash and my engine gave out. Come to find out I had a bad oil squirter and it lock up my block. So, I choose to redo the engine and throw a turbo on it(see pic 8 below). At this point I went to a shop that stole my money and never did a thing, after 2 years of fighting with the shop I ended up picking up my car and driving it home to another shop I trusted this time. They opened up my block and found this.(see pic 9 and 10 below) so the new shop had to start all over again...finally after about 6 months the turbo was on and I went with a mixed body kit, (see pic 11, 12, and 13 below)
At this point I was just happy to have a car that could drive around, made good power and was fun. But I was never happy with the way it looked. So about a few months ago I started a new build to redo the whole exterior. Stated with getting a new APR wide body along with two sets of rims and I also had to redo the interior. so, this is where I am now, waiting to do the body and all the add on I have bought. Will keep everyone posted as I go but will be a few months before I am done.
