Hey guys. My name is Hernan. I live in Southern California and haven't been active on here in years. It was until a few days ago, that I randomly got on here while enjoying a lunch break, that I realized how much I missed these forums. I mostly post my car/about my car via Instagram (@skam1004_ if you're curious) and realized how this "car scene" has in a sense taken a down fall with the help of ig and local car meets. Believe me I won't sit here and complain about it if that's what you're thinking. But instead I've figured I'll just take it where it all started.

So now that's that out of the way lol. I'll start with a small history of what I've owned.

My very first car, unfortunately I don't have a picture of it was a 1991 BMW 525i.

My second ,1992 Honda Civic also don't have a picture of it. Really guys they were kept stock for the most part you're not missing out.

3rd 1991 Toyota Mr2

4th 1992 BMW 325i

And finally current car.

My 1991 Toyota Mr2 turbo. I had sworn not to get another Mr2 as my previous one had been nothing but issues. However that all changed when I came across one on Craigslist and fell in love with it. Completely stock un tampered with. After a few text exchanges I was on my way to San Diego to purchase my second mr2.
The day I bought it.

The car was kept stock for as long as I could with slight fear of it turning into a mess like my previous one. The car had a slight oil leak that never got taken care of that eventually ended up costing me the stock low mileage engine. Fast forward a few months from that incident and unsure what direction the car was heading I decided to sell my BMW to fund the engine swap. I went with a JDM 3sgte off a 97 spec. Threw on a small turbo kit and began tearing the body harness to prepare it for the new engine. I also went ahead and got the car resprayed shortly after as it came with a single stage paint job that was progressively losing its shine.
A close friend had some Tein Flex coilovers and ended up opting to trade for the 5zigen fn01-rc I had kept after getting rid of the first mr2. The itch to getting the car relative low quickly came in and I was then in search for some wheels. I came across Cosmis Racing XT206-R in respectively aggressive sizes (18x9.5/11 +10/8) and decided to purchase them. They ended up being a huge hassle to fit but after lots of banging, 18k/28k spring rates, and -5.5 camber all around they ended up working just fine.

Unhappy on the color scheme I went ahead and got them powder coated white

Then the car was left untouched for a few months and really just tried to enjoy it.

Some timed passed by and I ended up getting a Nardi deep corn wheel and a Berk technology exhaust.

I now got rid of the Cosmis as I never was a huge fan of how the 18s looked in the front and threw on some Work Vsxx in 17x10/11.5 -1/+6. And this is how it currently sits

Future plans are retrofitting Origin Fc Rx7 sides or something in that style and retro fitting a bigger front lip as well.
Thanks for reading sorry that took so long lol.
