This has always been something I've wanted to do ever since I've stumbled upon S-Tuner. However, at the time, I didn't have the experience I have today.
Also, I'd like to give a huge thank you to our parts supplier,
@KazaMR2 for the Forza parts. Without them, this would never happen.
Now, without further ado...
My real car!
A little bit of background information. My dad bought this car second-hand, around 2007. At the time, it has already been fitted with a crapload of OEM parts, such as the cupholders, the parking pole in the front bumper, the sunroof, automatic window controls, etc. Well, basically everything you see on the exterior and interior is OEM, and has been done by the previous owner.
Eventually, 2 years ago, the car stopped running and was left in our garage. This is where I decide to take over, and start it up as a project car. Unfortunately, a year ago the windshield was shattered, thanks to 2 kids (probably around 8 years old) who thought it would be fun to throw stones at each other.
Right now, the car is undergoing mechanical repairs, while it sits at home. Followed by exterior repairs, and then interior detailing. Eventually, she'll be back on the road in a few weeks time.
The engine. Some of you may be unfamiliar with this, but this engine is a 1.2L single cam, non-VTEC, carburetor engine, called a PH12. It came stock with the local units sold in the Philippines. Boasting around 70-80 horsepower, and 60 foot-pounds of torque, this engine doesn't pack a punch, as it was meant for city driving. Many choose to swap in a D or B-series engine, but I absolutely love the sound a carburetor makes.
