my jdm gsr project. from yuck to wow
well I bought this gsr awhile back ago when I had my suby because I needed a car to drive around whenever I was doing work on the suby and thought it would be useful to have an extra car.
Since this is a suby site here is my old car....
Now here is how my gsr looked when I first got it...
then I installed my jdm front end and slammed my car. I also took off my rear spoiler and took off the antenna and covered up the holes with a rubber plug. which was pretty ghetto but it did the trick.

now the car was multi colored which looked odd. So I dropped it off at my shop and had them repaint the car championship white. I also raised the car a bit because I got irritated not being able to turn without rubbing. I also put on my new wheels and installed a racing seat I had in my garage. While my car was at the shop they shaved my moldings, covered up all the holes and believe me there were a lot of holes haha
I was pretty happy with everything but I really wanted some red recaros so... I bought some haha here r the current pics of what the car looks like now as of today. Pics was taken by my camera phone since my camera is broken
well thats it for now. I still need to install my nardi steering wheel and I think i'm gonna get some white wheels eventually.
(more pics on page 4 with some brushed aluminum jmags)

I sold the suby awhile back ago believe me when I had it I was not willing to spend any money on this car. haha But it's also kinda bad having owned the suby previously because i'm not even willing to add any mods to this motor because to me it's just ehh a slow car. hahah But it does handle really well so i'm gonna be taking it to the track this summer to have some fun with it. I already did a major tune up on the car I changed out, distributor cap and rotor, plugs, wires, timing belt, water pump, all the seals, and fuel filter. So hopefully when I go to the track my car won't blow up....
