Got the car IIRC in February 2004. This was my first car and got it right before my 16th birthday.
I used to have several pics of it but the computer crashed and these 2 are all I can find
Got the car back first of May fixed all back to stock. Mods at this point were the newer 03+ tail lights and Team Moon Aluminized dual exhaust.
With the old Panasonic Flip screen, no longer installed.
Other than wreck it several times, I didn't really do much to the car for the next few years. This was after I put a new radiator and bumper cover on to get it running after one of the wrecks. Rode like this for awhile.
This would of been in the 05-06 timeframe
Snow tires
Putting them to use
Wrecked the second time that put it setting for several years. Think this is Spring 2007
After a few years I finally got it fixed
Here it is at the shop getting work done.
Done and out of the shop July'ish 2008 Added parts was 03+ headlights, TRD style Lip kit and Centerline wheels. Parked next to my RSX.
Got a front badge for it
Baked and painted the headlights
03+ rear grill in black
Got it lowered on the Tein SS-P Coilovers
Dev's Rear spoiler lip added
Swapped to the black 17's
Somewhere after all that another trans decided to go out, so I swapped the engine and trans both as my engine was using a little more oil than I liked. And in the process of unloading it off the trailer, there went my first lip.
Empty bay
Got it back running and drove it through the winter
No front lip and at Toyota getting the trans replaced again due to a crack in the housing
Car went back into the shop to have the new lip put on and painted.
Then got the Heliums
On the way to a Wedding in Knoxville in 2010 IIRC I was cutting across 92 from Monticello to Whitley to take 27 down to the Huntsville exit on 75. Took a turn to fast(on 92) and spun out.
Cant tell a whole lot other than the rear lip missing and the scratches on the driver side. It also tore the mounting tabs off the pass side of the rear bumper. So it has been duct taped since. Keep in mind im a college student so repairs dont come quickly.
Changed the Spyder pretty much back to stock body and put a different front bumper on I had. And rolled like this for a year or 2.
Then this spring the week before the Spring Spyder Dragon run the Spyder got backed into.
Got it back mid April
Been rolling like that since. Hopefully this winter some of that will get fixed though, but the Spyder probably wont be out until atleast I get a new rear bumper. But I would really love to just find a clean shell to swap everything from my car over to. Parts of the subframe/unibody in the engine bay has been crumpled up since we first got it and has alway bothered me. So other than maybe being used for a track car I think im pretty much done with this shell.
Most current update is that I have it put up for the Winter and have the bumpers and lights pulled off. I still have my 2000 bumper with TRD lip so I had planned on putting it back on with my 03+ headlights with the housings painted. Was going to replace the rear bumper but I think ill just wait to see how my hunt for a shell turns out. Also, considering going with a PPE header/downpipe and HKS catback and selling my JNZ pipe. Still undecided on that though.
