So I decided to finally post on the site after reading for about a year now lol.

I used to own a 98 nissan 200sx in high school.


Then a few days before graduation I was rear ended...


The car was totaled, so I decided to buy the hatch before I went to college. It looked ridiculous when I bought it from the girl (cheesey decal and sub-par rims) but I knew it had potential and would be an easy fix.

Just after a wash and wax...




A few months ago I was coming around a corner and a big ford was driving down the middle of the road. I swerved to miss him and over corrected which sent me into a 180. I hit the curb on the passenger side. I took a huge chunk out of the lip on my front rim and scraped up the back wheel and bent the control arm. Ill get pics of the damaged rim later...Soooo I was forced to stick on the ugly wheels until i can get some new ones towards the end of the summer.(lowering it and new tails are a must as well )

Here it is today just after a little wax and elbow grease









Comments and suggestions are welcome!

i like the tailights. do your rear blinkers shine through that black paint?

Yeah the amber shines through just fine, even the reverse is decent...I'm not really sure why i never posted before, just mainly used it as a resource. A very good resource at that!

Dammit....black looks SO damn nice on 6th gen hatches....

lookin real good man....any engine mods?

 

[crizy23]

it looks real good..... nice and clean

For rims I think I want to go with something similar to what I used to have, only I want 16s instead of 17s and black instead of gunmetal...I really liked the machined lip...speaking of which I took a couple pics of the damaged lip from when I slammed into the curb.



All I have right now for engine mods is an intake. I'm looking into catback exhaust...something thats deep when i want it to be, maybe a Greddy. I want a B18 eventually so I dont see a point in doing too much with it as of right now.

Heres another pic for fun...the quality is pretty terrible but its a camera phone...Sony ericsson s710a 1.3 megapixel, also does video sweet phone for $360!
