Clam's "What the hell am I doing?" Journal

Picked up my car in May 2015. 2012 Sport 6-speed. 15,000 on the odometer. $22,000 OTD

Didn't take long for me to start modding it. Few weeks in, I installed Stillen G3 intakes, Kinetix HFCs, and an AAM 3" cat-back system.

The stock exhaust system needed some gentle persuasion to come off.

Next came the radio (I love my music)

Then, during some boredom at work, I fitted a tablet into the driver sun visor which gives me data while driving.

Then I went on a Fast and Furious kick for a few months. Tore them off after not too long.

Next was tinting the tail lights red and getting new headlights

That winter, I did some modifications. Plasti dipped wheels, Swift springs, toe bolts, camber arms, fujimora diffuser, side blades, brakes and rear spats

Then I went a grabbed a 2015 Nismo bumper, painted and modified it. Had it on for a few months then got hit in a parking lot

It has been christened "Little Bastard" Just like James Dean's Porsche

Finally started working on the nismo bumper I miss it.

Getting some work done on the trim while it's being blasted. And shaving the nissan logo and replacing it with this emblem

Also working on venting my hood. Have these on the way then going to try to make an Evo 9 style vent in the middle.

You still are keeping it looking good. Looking forward to seeing the hood with the vents. Keep it clean and looking good.

Some tips on your thread layout. When posting full size pictures. Only about 5 or 6 per post. Keep them on the same subject. Like tires and rims in one. Engine in another, etc. Makes for better reading, and for someone to make comments on. Start a list of mods you have done. And a wist list of mods. Otherwise a great start.

Thanks man! Did they try to **** you over too?

More nitrous stuff happening:





Also removed the spare tire, carpeted the spare well, and made a polycarbonate floor so people can see the bottle.
