Hi I'm Tyler and i've just flown into SoCal From Texas. Plans are too Buy a car soon and try to Have a decent build all while pursuing a nice Southern Cali Lifestyle. As of right now all i have is the garage i've moved into here:



I'll be looking around for any kind of late 80s, or 90s japanese car. Main car i want at the moment is a s13 hatch, but an s14, miata, ae86, or anything of the like would be cool too if i can find one decently priced and in good condition.

OK, so here is the car at hand





its very eh right now and i pulled out the sr20. It had a blown head gasket and while the fix is simple i would rather have another engine. ill be looking for an f20c. I'll also be looking into getting springs and proper ssr mesh wheels at some point as well.
