Carving out this space on the web for me to document the changes I'll be making to this car. I am going to preface that by saying that my intent is to make this a streetable daily driver but tuned for road courses. Similar to my 370z build but with compromises like retaining interior, AC and OEM cooling options.
Why is it called HAVEBLUE? Well, I bought the car in July 2023 from a Honda Dealer in Fontana, CA. I bought it for $61k and 500 miles on the odometer and I knew there was no way I would ever get any Californian Nissan dealer to negotiate down to those numbers at that time. Sadly, markup was still high so this was my best shot at getting the color and trim options I wanted. I didn't tell anybody I bought the car and no one really knew until ZCON rolled around in August. I kept things very covert, much like the project to build the worlds first stealth fighter which happened to be code named HAVEBLUE. There you have it.
Alright, enough about that....on to the build.
