I bought a red B13 SE-R from Kinematics a few weeks ago, with the intention of owning a nice daily driver with a little pep. However, I very quickly grew in love with it, and in the first week, made my first upgrade.

After a good wax job (a few days in)

It has a JDM motor with 30k miles on it, five speed, with a fairly clean interior (black). There's a bit of a hole in the leather on the steering wheel, and the dash is a bit cracked, along with some moderately faded exterior paint.

My first upgrade: KYB AGX adjustable rear dampers

I'll post a few more replies, to show my other upgrades.

Next up was my brake pads. I went with full ceramic all around. Then I added a shift knob, and my cd deck (I'll get good pictures of the interior soon). 20 days later (yesterday) I purchased my first set of rims/tires: MB Drifters, black gloss with silver lip, 16 inch, and Falken Azenis 205/40/R16's ->

I also purchased stainless steel brake lines, which are currently on their way here. I will use DOT 4 Valvoline brake fluid.

About two weeks from now, I'll be ordering AGX for the front.

My wish list:
Alpine speakers front/rear, with 4 channel Xplod amp
Hyperco springs
Solid shock bushings
Short shifter
Rear sway bar
Strut bars
Cams (s3, I think..I'll decide later)
Lighter flywheel
custom 2.5" cat-back
Q45 MAF
4-Bar inj
MSD ignition
Black paint with gray fleck, and yellow pinstripe (thin)
Sparco Fighter black and yellow racing seats w/4pt harness
T25 turbo
NX2000/11" conversion front, maxima rear

Yeah it is a nice color, though the previous owner to Kine got a ghetto repaint job on it. Black would match my rims nicely :)

She will be lowered as soon as the GC's hit the front door. I'll also two tone the paint red/black with the addition of a 94' SE-R bumper.

nice ride. i suggest getting rid of the pinstripe though, with a hairdryer.

The pinstripe, and red paint, will be gone by next year and replaced with gunmetal black paint/silver fleck, and yellow pinstripe :)

Nice car dude :) I thought about painting my 14's black, but wanted something with a better offset, so that I can eventually do a caliper conversion without rubbing.

That they are! I got my SS lines in a week ago. They're still "breaking in"... at least, that's what it feels like. The more I drive the car, the less pedal play there is. Next up is front AGX. After that, Fastbrakes conversion :) Then, paint job.
