Hey fellow members! I decided to have my own build thread so instead of starting new threads on the events I attend to Iââ,¬â,,¢ll just update it on this one

So first Iââ,¬â,,¢ll just let you guys know the history of this car. The car was given to me back in 01 by my uncle (he was the 1st owner) making me the 2nd owner. The car had 89k on the odometer when it was given to me. The original paint was a grayish blue. The condition given to me was pretty bad (exterior and interior wise). The paint was fading and the interior was shot. The dash had an open wound crack and the door panels were falling apart. I got the car because I needed a car to go to work and school. At first I didnââ,¬â,,¢t want the car since I didnââ,¬â,,¢t know what kind of car it was. I was looking for a mkIII supra turbo but couldnââ,¬â,,¢t find one in decent condition so I just settled with the s12.

After driving it for a couple years I wanted to fix it up so I tried finding parts but could not find some at that time. So I literally gave up on the car. I wanted to modify a car so I went to a car that had aftermarket support. I bought a 93 acura integra gs-r

the life of that car lasted for 3 years due to thieves. During those 3 years the s12 just sat in the backyard only been driven on certain days and weekends or if my integ was at the shop I was driving the s12. The integ was recovered but didnââ,¬â,,¢t have the heart to fix it up anymore. I was looking for another Honda so during that time I had the s12 for sale but no one was interested. So I decided y not just fix this up

So I went back to my first love, the s12.  So the s12 needed a make-over so I changed the color to black. From here on out the make-over just kept on progressing thanks to club-s12 and itââ,¬â,,¢s memberââ,¬â,,¢s. One member that particularly made me want to fix up the s12 was Draconis. Once I saw pics of his car I was just amazed. Thanks buddy for the inspiration!

So hereââ,¬â,,¢s the current mods I have done to the car:
City light head lamps
custom 2.5 megan catback exhaust
Caraudiofooleryââ,¬â,,¢s lip kit brace
SSC springs
Tokico illuminas shocks all around
16x7 crown vic rims wrapped with 205/50/16 nitto neo gens
Jdm s13 bumper lense
MkI side markers
Cone filter
S13 momo hub
320mm momo monte carlo wheel
s13 shifter
sun auto shiftknob
Nissan Silvia reflective sticker



Here are a collection of pics that I have from the beginning to itââ,¬â,,¢s current condtion

So far thatââ,¬â,,¢s all the pics that I have. I would like to thank club-s12. If it wasnââ,¬â,,¢t for this sight my car would not look the way it is now. Thanks to Draconis for the inspiration, mod_mastaz for helping with the install on the suspension, caraudio for the mint dash and lip kit brace and hillkill for the suspension components

I have some pics of Chris' car from last year...









I swear man, every time someone asks about lowering options for our cars, I always use these pics to show them. I think your car is one of the top cars in the club.

Dear dude.  I know that your car reminds me a lot of mine several years back but you 'stole' my reflective name decal!  LOL  Dont worry, not too much longer and mine will have small traces that will make it that much more different.  But yet, unless you change your car, I think in some way that your car will always remind me of mine back in the day.  I have the SSC springs with 17s on them.  I assume you are running 15s?  What are your struts?  You seem much lower than me.

lol dont worry the car will get a makeover by the end of this year or next year...im planning on painting it back to the original blue with silver flakes and get some different rims

the struts are tokico illuminas all around and the rims are 16inch

Colin, he said what he had right there

Chris, there should be no excuse for you not submitting a picture for next year's calendar. Another black SE isn't a bad thing, and Colin already got the ball rolling with his.
