Hey guys, since its sort have reached a level of completion (if we could ever call it that), I thought I'd put together a journal for my RS. Here is a short history of the cars I've owned.
My first car in one of its many stages. i had this car for 5 years (the longest stretch I've had a car). This car eventually got a Greddy 18G turbo, shown here.
taken a month before I sold it
My 2nd car, I bought from my sister who was going to donate it. It needed some love, and I enjoyed having my first daily driver. I got used to having two cars because of this car. Since then, I haven't had one car by itself.
taken 2 months before I sold it.
The teg and 240sx together - see the black FMIC on the integra?
It was always a dream of mine to own an Evo. Luckily my friend was selling his, and after I quick test drive, I immediately started making for sale threads for my silver integra. Eventually the teg was sold and the evo was in my possession. I modded it, tracked it, and then got sick of it. Awesome godly performance, but I was never able to fully take advantage of it, except on the track. Going to the track gets expensive, and I just wasnt will to drop the cash on it anymore. With no intentions of street racing, I sold it.
Taken 2 months before sale.
Driving only the 240sx for a couple of months, I sorely wanted to have 2 cars again. A close family friend to my GF was selling his 97 teg. I spent a little over a year and half restoring it. No big plans like the first integra, just an OEM restore, and a car to drive around in to get good mileage. driving an integra feels uber natural to me.
2nd teg and 240sx together
Having two 12-14 year old theft magnets/boy racer/compacts was kind of difficult. I tend to do a lot of driving, and more often than not, I have passengers. One at a time was fine, but two or one by themselves I couldnt do anymore. So I went looking for a more practical car. The requirements were OEM HID's, RWD, and sedan. I was looking at IS350's and BMWs. I overlooked the G35 thinking it would be too expensive. I eventually stumbled upon this car. I got exactly all the options/packages I wanted, plus a killer deal.
Here's all three together.
The 240sx was up for sale before I got the G35, but I wasnt able to sell it until after.
I had the maroon teg and the g35 for a little over a year when I found out the previous owner of the 99 RS was replacing his car for a more practical one due to the start of a new family (wife was pregnant at the time). So the Teg was up for sale.
Here they are together.
I bought this RS from my girlfriend's brother in January 2010, and here is a picture of it during the wiring harness install and the thread I made documenting it. Spec R's wiring harness and build thread
