Guess who's back! I finally got a job ( only seasonal, working my ass off to become part time). Ended up getting a few things that were a steal. And also, i ended up getting a DSLR for better picture quality and just because i want to try something for the upcoming year.
Updates on the car:
-Cousin's Friend's car ended up crashing his integra so i got his rear disc conversions for $30. But one of the trailing arms was bent so had to get another one from the junk yard. basically $90 as to $150-200.
-Saw someone selling a God Speed X-bar for like $180 on craigslist so i was like why not! We actually talked for a couple of minutes and he wanted to sell it just cause his civic wasn't really a family car and he was parting out his car in order to get a more suited car.
-And i finally painted my valve cover, it isn't as legit as i thought it would be just because i didn't have the right materials. And the place i live in, it's really windy and i unfortunately have to fix my car on rubble ground as opposed to cement. Also, i don't have a garage so i'm struggling even more. Wanted to go a little "Galaxy" type of theme but i have a different color way i want to try so it'll look nice when i paint my car.
Recently did a headgasket change due to loss of coolant, whole new timing belt, water pump and tensioner. Problems kept on coming up which was annoying. I still haven't found out why my idle bogs/hesitates when i accelerate at low rpm. I checked my mechanical timing everything lined up correctly, did a tune up, changed distributors with my cousin to see if i have to change any part of my distributor, checked the resistance of my injectors after warming it up, and i still haven't found out the culprit. But so far thanks to TrailerTrash and teal_dx for the help!
I know my pictures aren't as great as other users on here but i'll get better eventually! Trying to get better just so i can be able do justice to a little 365 day project that i am trying to achieve. Unfortunately, the car doesn't run as of right now. Stay tuned!

Took my car to a shop after months of paying bills and saving up. They found out that my car was hesitating due electrical issues. The engine harness that i have bought from the previous owner was the cause of it. Supposedly, he tried extending it and failed miserably... So just an update: Got me some enkei 92's!! Specs are 15 x 8 +25 offset on 195/45/15 Toyo T1Rs. So no more GSR blades, it was fun while it lasted. Moving on to the build since it's been really overdue. Raised my car a little since i didn't want to mess up the fenders and quarter panel while driving around. I will most definitely lower it though, when the time is right. And my next plan is to get the engine State Reffed since California is "oh so fun" being in, especially with these laws... 
And after that, i won't be too specific about it since it should be a surprise 
. I'll try and most definitely get this build going since it's been way too long. Enjoy!
So here's a side view of my car so people don't forget i'm still here 
Lots of plans so i won't disappoint you guys!
