Default my (kinda) new 2000 GS300

hey guys, i've been kinda lurking around here for a while, but i finally decided to post some pics of my car. just just give you guys a little back ground. i started out as a honda loyalist. Past cars include:

1991 CRX si
1992 civic dx coupe
1994 integra GSR

the integra was my pride and joy. i converted it to right hand drive and had a fully built lsvtec on boost.





then one day, the unthinkable happened.



a steel braided fuel line was leaking gas onto the downpipe

so after my tragic loss, i decided that i would not buy another honda until i could afford a NSX..

so i decided to get a 2001 IS300. didnt do much to it. just lowered/wheels/tint/music



then some genius drunk driver decided he wanted to build me a garage... he plowed into the back of my IS and forced it through my bedroom wall



I ended up getting this GS to replace it. only 56000 miles, which is unheard of for a 2000.



mods so far...

varrstoen 2.2.2 19x9.5 front 19x10 full polish
BC racing extreme drop coil overs
tints
pioneer avic f-700bt




more pics coming soon. im also building a 1:10 scale replica



thanks for looking

welcome board, as far os not lurking anymore goes. Sorry to hear of the Integra, but this is a night/day upgrade as far as looks goes. Your GS is off to a great start. Your IS was nice as well.

Why do I have a feeling that something is going to happen to the GS too?

Welcome.

Sorry to hear that you've had bad luck with those cars. With your luck, you're going to want to replace them lower ball joints SOON if you haven't already.
