Not sure where to start, but I feel like a story is in order.
A little over a year ago I owned a 1991 Tracer, it had gotten to such a state of disrepair and rust that I couldnt continue to keep up with it between traveling for work and not having the facilities to fix it myself. I decided the best thing to do was sell it, and get into a new Escort car so I could use all my parts I had hoarded. Well, I sold the car and began the hunt for an White Sedan, but nothing showed itself for miles around. I eventually settled on a 89 Honda CRX HF, on which the transmission imploded less than 3 weeks later. I left it ditched on the side of the road and hitchhiked home (150 miles) the next morning I logged onto CL immediately and found what I had been looking for. 120k Mile Sedan, One/Adult Owner, and straight as hell! Only thing missing was the BP, but I had one or two of those sitting around.
Pics of Tracer that made me love these cars. Simple KYB/Sprint suspension setup, Rota Grids with Nitto Neogens, intake and Exhaust, custom upholstered headliner, MX3 lower center console, MX-3 shift knob/boot and MX-3 Steering wheel.
Finding this Escort sitting on CL got me all excited, called the guy and he only lived 3 blocks away from me. Took it for a test drive (bone stock) and knew I had to have it, It was mine within the hour!
Not long into it, I got the itch quick. Purchased new wheels within the first couple of months. Enkei RPF1s Mint and with brand new tires, couldnt pass up the deal I got.
These had the car screaming at me to lower it, so I began the search for something to handle the task, and to be able to slam it into the weeds.
Ksport had just released their V2 coilover bodies, with revised design to withstand maximum low. See Here
Oooh, piece of candy!
And some Money shots!
I gathered up all my hoarded parts and and put a little something together that might go in later on down the road. But it wont be any regular BP if I do swap it.
I like to take pics of my car(s) lol.
And then came parts from the land of the Rising Sun. Purchased some Volk TE37s recently, 15x6.5 +38 * lbs a wheel :D , wrapped in Yokohama AD08s. Still havent seen it in person, (been on the road for work) but I got a pic or two to share!
And to catch you guys up to where I am at now. Just made a purchase over at Pierce Motorsports. Bought Jims 4 point tie brace (gussetted) for the front end, and the 2 point Tie-bar for the rear. Looking forward to having them sitting at home waiting for me to install when I get home from work. Looking forward to becoming a regular over here, sharing what I know, and learning what I can, Ive got a lot to learn for what level I want to take this car to. :D
Thanks fir the space and hope you guys enjoyed the read!
