CAR HISTORY:
The car was originally purchased in California and was babied and taken to the dealer for everything and kept completely immaculate. My mother purchased the car from the original owner in 2001. I saw the car and had no idea as to what it was and the capabilities of the car but I fell in love with the body style immediately. Eventually I talked my mother into selling the car to me.

In August of 2005 I drove to California and purchased the car. By that time I had done a lot of research into the car and what was available in the aftermarket industry thanks to the help of Blair Sato and Intense Motorsports. Soon after bringing the car home I started the build up. First came Nismo LMGT4 18×8.5+25 and 18×9.5+30, then the coilovers, and the origin-lab body kit. Piece by piece the car started coming together. After a while the Nismos didn’t seem sufficient and I needed some bling wheels. I saw the AME’s and fell in love, I talked to Josh at AutoRnD and he hooked me up with them. Behind the AME’s I needed some bling brakes to match so I purchased a set of Z32 front and rears with Hawk pads for that added bling and better braking ability. I decided to hand paint the calipers black and white because it matches the theme…whatever that may be, and I installed them myself with a little help.

Right now I am kind of at a stand still on the car, I have so many future plans and have many decisions to make about which way I am going motor wise. My goal for this car in the end is to be completely different and insane. I want people to look at it and think…”Hey that car is badass, and it’s owned and driven by a chick!” When I say driven I don’t mean on and off of the trailer, or to go to the mall. Built cars are meant to be driven…drift, grip, and autocross…balls out.
