First off, this is what the car looked like BRAND NEW- September 18, 2001. This picture was taken when we took the car home from the dealer!
It all started here, at Borgman Mazda, Grandville, MI:
Updates from 2003:
Took ownership from my dad in January on my 20th Birthday. (I still had to pay for it, lol, but at least I got to buy a RARE car! I love it!)
Pretty much at this point the car is still 100% stock with about 18,000 miles on the clock)
The early days before any serious modding and before my addiction to modding it:
Funny- with the STOCK car audio system I got pulled over in Grand Rapids... got a ticket! Music ticket, what bullshit. In the city of Grand Rapids, if they "hear" your sound system over 25 feet after 7pm, its a ticket. Stupid.
Bought the Injen CAI from CarDomain.com back in May, 2003! No car experience at ALL at this point, but I tried my luck with basically my first mod! Pics:
All done! Need to get the engine cover back on ASAP! Looks like crap.
I bought a Sony DVD/TV Monitor and Rosen DVD a while ago, finally got around to installing it.
Kind of ugly/ricer look, but it took me time to realize this. I had installed a Ractive muffler. Muffler man did the welding, which looked like absolute ass. Pics:
Installing NO2, August 13,2003- decided to try my hand at a wet 50 shot installed by Eckberg Motor. They've since gone out of business which is absolutely fine with me. They sucked.
Hall Street, August 22, 2003. This abandon factory was knocked over about 6 months after I took this pic. It was a cool place!
