    Hi everyone, My name is Cameron from La Crosse,WI. I heard about this forum through 02_rexxy. Im the guy you reserved the shelter for you guys. Ill have a subaru eventually. I Drive a 90 240sx hatch. I bought this car back in march. I was told it had an issue with the engine when i bought it. This car ended up eating a valve spring ont he way home. Surprisinlgy it made ut the 45 miles more it had to go. So i pulled out the KA in favor of the sr.
    Heres some pics of when i first got it.

    I bought this car with only the coils and rims. The rest has been done in the last year.

    Things done so far:

    New RUCA, replaced the ****ty broken godspeeds with some ISIS ones. Some may not like ISIS stuff but i have been very happy with it.
    Now that its winter i have started a few other things:
    Gutted interior and took out sound deadning
    Installed a Corbeau reclinable seat
    painting the bare metal in my interior to match the exterior
    doing some small bodywork before i lay down my Midnight purple vinyl wrap
    New rear diff hardware
    Cleaning up the underhod wiring
    Ordered 2 more 9.75 rims of the same for the front and some wider front fenders from origin
