So i went out for some fried rice (New Wheels, Moved, Seat)

Post by kalifornia087 »

And came back with this.

Basically heres what happened.

I got pulled over via october 2006 in my old red GTU rx7 hauling ass to work one day.
I received 6 tickets, including but not limiting too reckless driving, fleeing with intent to elude, speeding 28 mph over, and several others.

I got a lawyer.

FINALLY i went to court October 2007, a year later. A few months before that i had gotten my 88 T2 that i was thoroughly in love with and ready to make badass.

Dropped the big tickets (because i wasn't eluding anything but being late for work), reduced others. I end up with 23 over and too fast for conditions, and lots of monies in fines.

BUUUUUT there was a condition.
If i get a ticket in the next year, and it shows up on my wonderful monthly record check i get now, i lose the deal. Poof, gone. So i had to get rid of the car i loved (t2 of awesomeness), because there was no way i'd make it a year without a ticket daily driving a 320whp rx7.
I don't have that much self control yet. It wouldn't be fair to the car anyway.

Clusterfuck of a trade deal later (worked out in my favor even if i didn't want to), i got this car.

I love it though. Its quiet. It handles awesome. Its good on gas and has A/C. And most importantly, its SLOW.

Mods so far:
Omni Power coilovers
Blox rear control arms

Ditching the red wheels in favor of some 15s. (have GSR blades awaiting tires)

Coming very soon:
Camber plates
A rear sway bar
Badass tires
Alignment...

I have a Corbeau in it right now but is temporary until i get another seat.

I will have another drift machine, but for the next month or two im focusing on having a nice daily that looks decent and is reliable. I guess it was a good time to retire from driving pos cars every day or something that was too fast for my own good as a daily driver.

Updates will come while i make this car what i want it to be.

I love those cars! That's a great li'l ride. I like those wheels on it.
Sort all your legals out... and then BUILD ANOTHER FC!
In the meantime... enjoy your gas mileage!

a Civic is not a K-car, its just a Civic. I think I would consider a Del Slow a K-car before a civic. Plus I have never seen a Civic in K-car magazine. But on the other hand.....where the fuck is there a Sonics??? I want some now.
