Hey guys! I'm still relatively new to the forums and so have been quite hesitant about posting up a thread for my car. But I guess I thought why not since I just wanted a place to document/showcase what I've done with my car and to get overall feedback from everyone here. I won't really say it's a 'build' but rather just a diary of my journey with the car. Just a place where I can log what I do with it 
Some of you may have seen my DC2R down at the 14' EOYM. I came pretty late to the party and was pretty shy lol. Still won the Local Authority prize pack tho! But for those who haven't here's how it looks (Prior to picking up the window visors)
First impressions of the car though are great! It's still quite recent from when I picked it up a couple months back sitting on 156, xxx km's (as of this write-up, 159, xxx km's). Picked up a new set of NGK spark plugs + Eagle ignition leads, as well as a new battery for precautions sake as soon as I brought her home. Engine feels as good as ever and responds very nicely. The handling also lives up to its reputation and the feeling is amazing. Henceforth at first I was deciding whether or not I did want to modify anything as I would've been more than satisfied with it as is. That didn't last for long but for now I just seem to be hoarding parts for the time being.
For the most part my car is also my daily ride to and from work and for whatever else I get up to on the weekends. I'm still a student though so my goals for the car will hopefully be completed in due time. There wasn't really a set goal or vision for my build but first and foremost I wanted something that I can be proud of building over the next couple of years. Something that I can enjoy to drive up to wherever I go. Something that I can look back on with fond memories and such.
Anyway here's what has currently been done to it thus far:
Somewhere down the track this is what I'd like to do with the funds available:
So yeah that's pretty much it. Hopefully I can tend to this thread more often then not to update you guys or when I take photos of it walking away from the car i'll post them here lol
