At the age 16 I was given my fathers car a 1993 Mercury Tracer LTS (Ford Escort GT) that we brought to Texas from Germany. I ended up locking the engine on that car and replaced it with a 2005 Toyota Corolla S (Name: Tarah) which I ended up modding before I was rear ended First Semester Freshman Year in College (the car considered "totaled"). I was car-less for a good few months before I found my third car a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS (Name: Sasha) that I ended up getting used for a steal (23,000 miles on the odometer).

The Eclipse had Black Projector HALO Headlights, D2 RS Coilovers, and an MTX Sub/Amp installed until I returned Sasha back to stock before selling her after a month after purchasing my current vehicle.

I decided to purchased my very first brand new vehicle (fourth vehicle). At first I wanted a GTI, Si, BRZ, STi, EVO X, or a MazdaSpeed3 but after hard thinking and test driving I decided on the 2013 Taffeta White Honda Civic Si Sedan (FB6). I ended up locating and purchasing the Honda Civic Si on July 27, 2013 with 6 miles on the odometer.

A month into owning my FB6 I had accumulated quiet a few mods, the main ones to mention where my Enkei RPF1's and the the chassis mods.

Come December I had purchased my Downpipe, Exhaust, Flashpro, Vit Tuning, Rear Camber Kit, and Coilovers. The coilovers weren't installed until January of 2014.

Do you post the meet times here for other locals?
 
Sometimes, seeing 17x8 +35 specs make me regret buying a 17x9 +22 spec rpf1. Both were good options. Yet rolling fenders is something I don't really wanna do and I really wanna opt for the 17x8 +35. Oh the choices :(

I do not, just recently joined the site. I usually post on Facebook or Instagram. If I do post "Meet Info" it will be in the Austin Chat Thread.

Yeah I love my RPF1's but I realized too many people have them even in Austin. So I will be getting a different set sometime this year. I might want something more fancy and VIP...

Sometimes I miss my OEM trunk, other times I'm glad I went wingless. I miss that little chrome strip connecting the tail-lights.

I see everyone with rpf1's but I have a set of 17x9 +22 in white just waiting to be put on after I get my camber arms in but sadly, buddyclub are still on backorder :(
But in the meantime, I'm getting all my other exterior mods and chassis mods in order :)

So you live close to Downtown (11th)? I live off Parmer Ln. (North) These pictures were actually taken down the road from the Apartments. We need to chill sometime!
 
Yup. I'm pretty much downtown. We'll be moving a couple miles north on 35 in two weeks, though. We should definitely get a beer some time.
 
@NoMoreNissans Thanks, some days I like that roof spoiler other days I wish I would take it off...

@JAYBLS That would be cool. You go to any meets around town? I go to about half of them.
