Mine is intended to be a sporty a daily driver. It's a beautiful car but it also needed to be able to handle being driven very aggressively.

I required a car with two back seats and a trunk but I also specifically wanted a rear wheel drive two-door with a manual transmission and a bulletproof engine. It also had to look good in an OEM sort of way.

It was hard to find such a car used. I passed up a couple of faster cars I could have afforded and then I found this totally stock SC 5-speed. I knew what it was and what it was capable of and I loved how it drove. The price was right and I needed a car anyway (last one was destroyed by being rear-ended).

I've modified it quite a bit but I don't plan to touch the engine. I spend far more of my income on camera equipment than on my car.

I have only got a few things left to do other than a few remaining cosmetic fixes and I'll be happy:

-- Acura TSX HID conversion (mostly for safety)
-- 97 Foglights and wiring them up
-- TT Torsen LSD into an SC 4.272 pumpkin
-- TT rear brake conversion
-- OEM looking custom exhaust
