January 2012
I always wanted a white dc2 with the jdm front and was in the market at that time. My budget was 7-8K I then started noticing Type Rs for 10-13k. I was like why not for a few more Gz. That's when I decided to get an R.
Saw one 2 hours away and went to check it out on February 2012. It was love at first sight.
So I made a deposit and came back on March 6 2012. She was ready to come home.
I kept heR in storage temporary since I didn't have a garage at the time.

Next ordered a set of CCW
Bought some status seats but later sold it.

Few months later I found my K20A Type R motor and DC5 R Trans
Started to do a mild shave on the bay.
Finally painted fresh NHO!
