i think i might be missing a few things so ill list em as they come to me, im dedicating my entire summer to finishing this project so wish me luck. I've also decided that with the lack of places i have to do all the work, ill need to do it in my own so first things first, i have to clean the **** out of the garage(so much **** in it i can barely fit the s2k) and then start from there. here are a few pics for the sake of the new thread

More to come, when it comes :beerchug:

Hell yeah man. Good to see you got some nice plans for the car.
At least someone is actually working on their ish (SLAP for me)

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang thats so sexy! And i like your tools! I need to get me some of them, all my tools got stolen...How much was that set?

nice job, keep it up.

i noticed all the cars you had, apparently you have money. what's funny is that you chose an S12. not what i would've thought of, but brownie points for being special, right? haha. good luck. i have so many plans too, but no money sucks donkey dick

sooo sexy damn you heartbreakers and your sweet ass cars lol

great look and ideas lol

thanks guys! this should be really dope when its done :smilie_thumbsup: I waited for a big sale at sears, and got an extra discount from a friend who works there so the set came up to $190 :naughty: i think the set was almost 300 retail so just keep a lookout for sales and bargains



I only own the s2k and the s12, the pics with the mr2, 240, etc etc etc are taken at either rons or yutas place when we all get together and pretend to work on our cars ;) I wouldnt exactly say that im rich, in fact im a starving college student. The reason why i chose the s12 was because i've had my eye on this car for about 4 years(a friend dd'd it to school) and the summer before college, he sold it to me for 800 bucks and it was obviously taken cared of. it wasnt so much being "special" with this car but rather because it was cheap, rwd, and slow. not to mention it has no fanbase or aftermarket that forces me to DIY a lot of **** :beerchug: How i obtained the s2k is a loooooooong story, and the small budget i have for this project is about a years worth of saving up. I wont lie though, theres a small part in that looong s2k story that involves rich relatives, guilt, and me getting spoiled.

haha. good times.

yarou ia a ****ing G. keep up the good work, how are you lowered right now? cut springs? haha

Dude +1 for craftsman tools. Are you goin KA-T with that ish?

haha hell yeah cut saggy springs on blown shocks, rubs HARD like it should

Yeah, i think ill eventually run a small t25 setup in the future. those plans are way way in the future though, the stock ka will be more than enough for now

Henry = pimp.
S12 as clean as that should be in a muesuem. Slow n sexxi Fa Sho!!!
More S2 shots, its so nice. And Yuta looks tough as hell in those pix.

yea, why are there pictures of me on henry's thread?

haha.
