Leonthefaded's Project "Snowflake" 1998 Auto GST

[Leonthefaded]

I'm starting this journal very late because I started this build a long time ago as you can tell by my profile mod list. I keep my mod list very up to date. So this journal will contain mostly pictures, and a little bit of story.

I am as far as I know the third owner of this car. There car is well maintained and all of the maintenance has been kept up since it has been in my hands. My goals for this car are unknown and keep changing, but I suppose you could say I plan on having this as a very powerful daily driver that could easily find itself under a "Drag Race" category.

I suffer from high anxiety, PTSD and depression. I have a lot of anger issues and I have been using this car as an outlet for positive energy to be manifested into art; yes I said art. Artists come in many shapes and forms; from painters to photographers to mechanics. I hope you all enjoy what you see here in this very different build journal. And I hope my journey with this machine never ends, because I have become more than fond of this car. If anything I value this GST over my GSX which I find more than odd. You have all taught me everything I need to know to wrench and tune this machine to where it is now. Thanks.

Felt like doing some inspecting of the water system before installation of the new rad and fan combination found a lot of disgusting build up and took my dremel carbon brush to it all. Did some nice work taking my time too it.

Working on a car like this has giving me an outlet of progression. A constant movement forward. Now I'm not saying I haven't had stops or setbacks. Everyone has those. But with illnesses you have doctors and with cars you have mechanics. This gives way to progression.

Here is the finished product of today's labors.

I'm still waiting for extreme psi to send me the blue mishimoto silicone radiator hoses.
