Let's see if I can dig up some old pics.
1st- crappy pic.
'97 Civic EX Coupe 5MT
Kind of riced out but at the time it wasn't considered rice yet
2nd
01 Sentra Se 5MT
Was turbo at one point and ran a 12.74.
3rd
03.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 5MT
Rear ended 3 times, had over 100k miles with higher boost and other mods but the engine never blew like many of them did.
It was wingless b.c of the 2nd accident.
But ended up looking like this after a while.
3.5
My husband also had an 03.5 MSP. It was stock lol
Then we sold both MSP's.
4th and 4.5
06 Legacy Se 5MT (mine) and 06 Xb 5MT (his)
The Xb had wheels, springs and audio. The Leggy had custom headers, exhaust, wheels, grill, headlights, front lip, emblems and a few other things.
5th
05 Legacy GT Wagon 5MT. <- I miss this car
No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't deal with a slow car anymore so I traded my Se for the LGT. It was basic stage 2 plus a little bit more. I think it put down like 260hp and 315tq with a protune. Not bad for a grocery getter I guess lol
6th
99 RSTi Coupe 5MT
JDM v5 STI, V7 STI interior stuff, WRX 5MT, and much more.
6.5
04 Forester XT 5eat <-- Still have.
This is my husbands car . It is mostly stock except for exterior stuff.
7th
08 WRX 5MT <- Biggest mistake ever, sold it after 3 months with 6000 miles.
In those three months it was stage 2 protuned, lowered and had 4 different sets of wheels on it. In this order.
8th
05 G35x 5eat <-- Still have
It is pretty stock for the most part. Even going on 3 years of owning it I still love it.

You can thank my husband for that one lol. We bought it like 3 weeks before the news of the 09's came out. 
I wanted to get my G35x at that point but he said he "had to have a 5mt or he would go crazy" since he car was an auto. Then he didn't even drive the damn thing. I ended up not driving it either b.c that is when my back was acting up pretty bad as a result of my MSP accidents. Didn't know it at the time but my spinal cord was pinched so much I was very close to being paralyzed. 
I took about a $5k hit on a 3 month old car, bought the G35x and have never looked back.
