Post Pictures of Your Previous Car(s)!

[GOT8SPD]

I saw something like this over at StanceWorks, thought it would be fun to bring it to the forum that I seem to spend the most time on now a days...

So I've been in love with cars pretty much all my live...and I'm quite happy with my evolution as an automotive enthusiast. Share with everyone your previous projects and previous loves....

1st car when I was 16...it was a hand-me-down, 1994 Honda Accord (Auto:(), Neusspeed Sport Springs, MATRIX Intake, 17" RH Evolution CH5000 (i think?)


2nd Car, when I was 19 when I had money to buy a car for myself. 2003 Honda Civic Si 5-Speed Manual, 17" RH CR, K-Sport Coilovers, AEM CAI, CF Hood, OEM Honda Factory Performance Body Kit, Civic Type-R Rear Hatch Spoiler.


3rd car, purchased Feb 17th, 2006 when I was 21, 2005 Acura TL 6-Speed Manual, Tein SS Coilovers, 19" Volk Racing GT-S, OEM Acura Lip Kit, APEX-i GT-Spec Exhaust (taken from a S2000)


4th car, purchased September 17th, 2008, a late 24th birthday present to myself, 2008 Lexus IS F 8-Speed Auto, no "mods" unless you consider the removal of the factory mufflers and resonator a mod...


5th car, purchased Feb 6th, 2010, 1990 BMW 325i 5-Speed, AKG RTAB & Front LCA, PowerFlex Subframe Bushings. That's it for now....haven't really done too many mods because I've been battling tires wearing out every 5000 miles...but HOPEFULLY I have this sorted out now...


I still have both the Lexus and BMW...trying to find me an E28 at the moment!

Share your rides! I think it would be cool to see what you've been working on previous to your e30...I know some of you have had e30 after e30 after e30...but every one of those cars I'm sure are different!

Beautiful thing about living in America is we can finance everything right? LOL! Well...we used to be able to finance everything. I know I wouldn't be able to buy the IS F if I were to buy it today. I got a killer rate and didn't put any money down when I got the IS F...but that was a month BEFORE the mortgage melt down in 2008 happened in October.

I haven't been without a car payment since i got the Honda Civic...which is like what...9 years now that I've had continuous car payments? Not only that but they keep getting bigger.... But oh well...you only live once and I definitely love my cars. I have regrets selling the Honda Civic and the Acura...I was so close to paying them off...should have just kept them and built a collection of cars...

First 02 S2000 Ap1 with BBS LMs NSX Spec 17/18" setup, mugen hardtop, Mugen intake, Apexi WS exhaust and Koni GC setup.

Moved onto an 05 Acura TSX with Function & Form coilovers and Work Equips 18x8.5/9.5.

First vehicle, 1989 Toyota Pickup 4x4. Bought it when I was 15. Only mods were interior, Corbeau Baja SS seats, custom fiberglass center console that held a 10" sub between the seats. Sold it when I turned 18.

Second: 1971 Datsun 240z rolling shell. Bought it for my 18th as a present to myself. It's caged and setup for a SBC (No picture).
Third: 1998 Audi A4 Quattro, got it when I turned 18. Lowered on neuspeed springs, on 18" ASA wheels of some sort. Custom pioneer D3 install (had to cut the dash, relocate climate control, fiberglass in) Never took any good pictures of it

Fourth: 2000 GSXR 750, got it when I was 19. Yoshi System, DIY TRE, K&N, Velocity Stacks, R6 throttle, PCB, woodcraft clip-ons

Fifth: 1987 VW Gti 8v. I bought it in primer, and then painted it white (shitty shitty paintjob) A/C compressor delete, ABD short shift. What a blast to drive!

You're right...something is wrong...LOL....

Turned 22 on July 6th, 2006, (born in 84), car was purchased when I was 21...it was a 2005 model that I got a good deal for in 06.

IS F was purchased on September 17th, 2008...I was 24 at the time...sorry...typo...trying to trace back my years...lol. IS F will be the longest car I've owned come this September....there we go...Holy cow, did not realize I was that young when I got the IS F.

1st: 1999 Subaru Liberty (Legacy in the states). Automatic, 18" mags, full exhaust, lowered, tinted, JDM body kit. First car. Owned when I was 16, sold when I was 18.




2nd: 1985 323i. 5speed, 2.3 top with 2.7 bottom end, 16" racing dynamics, straight through exhaust, louder then a mother fucker. Ended up getting defected like a bastard for lots of silly things (australian highway patrol are waffleswaffleswaffleswaffless), cars now sitting unregistered, with cob webs all over it, doing nothing. Bought when 18, still own.



3rd: 1989 325iS. Automatic (got all the manual gear sitting here!), 17" BBS RS, fairly factory as extremely rare and valuable over here :) Bought when 18. Still own.

i bleieve there 800 billion other threads like this but,

Oh yes. So much sex here. Freeride wins.


My first...AND ONLY...other car. 1997 Subaru Outback. owned at 26, sold at 27. I loved and miss this car. Before I went back to California, I tried to buy it back from the lady I sold it to, but she grew too attached to it. (understandable). I would have another one of these any day.

[GOT8SPD]

For those that sold their cars...any regrets?

Those S2000s are beautiful! I love hard topped S2000s...VP Special K...yours are done up very well! Great taste!
