wow dude I'm seriously impressed with your work on these cars, definitely jealous of your skills and knowledge. I just found this site and have been reading your entire thread. Great work. Hopefully i can produce a car as great as yours.


Thanks alot man. Just do one thing in your build - Make it YOUR own, and I'm sure it'll be better then mine.

Just put another set of Red Recaros in =)

clocked someones kitty the other night on my way home from portland at rt 27 at like 2 in the morning. needless to say, it took 1/2 my lip with it as I dragged it 200 feet down the road, and cracked my bumper in 3 different places. Going to take the bumper off and do what I can to prevent the cracks from spreading until I can find a new EBP bumper to put on it. (this will be the 3rd crack in the bumper) As for now, I'm carting around my Seibon CF spoon lip and putting it on while parked at shows. I will not drive with this lip on. $50 dollar ebay lip I can bust up and not give a s**t, but a $400 dollar cf lip I'm not going to take a chance.

Here's how she looks with the spoon lip on. And like I said, it gets put on when the car stops, and taken off before it moves. This lip is BNIB condition and is put on with 3M double adhesive tape.

Pot hole cracked the bumper and lip but didnt break it off. The cat did. lol - Lifting the car no, you just learn how to park to take pics. It's all about the angle of the car that makes it look lower. Not to mention I bottom out like f**kkkk.



for realzies?
Ya dude. Got it + cash when selling a set of Recaros. It's a Seibon Spoon Style Lip. I do not drive with it on the car, its actually attached with 3M double adhesive tape. Its for sale =)

I got a cheapo laptop from my brother that I'm going to tuck in the glove box and only install AEMPro V1.0 on so I can tune when necessary.

Only problem now is that this program is so intense that I'm going to wait until I get it dyno tuned before I start f**king around with any of the settings. AEM Pro is extremely intense to the point where I can turn my rad fans on and select the speed I want them to spin at, vtec engagement points, 2step, rev limiter, idle speed, timing retard/adv, adj fuel parameters..all by my laptop...


As for the car, A little update for everyone, I had a CEL Code from my o2 sensor shorting out. So, to fix it I put on my JDM ITR 4-1 OEM header that I picked up in Canada, and am currently in the process of welding up a 1 piece exhaust for the car (I'm anal when it comes to exhaust leaks and how it sounds). CEL has been fixed and I'm just waiting on welding the last piece. I'm sure everyone saw the lip I was rolling with at the APD Show last week which is flat black Mugen style instead of the stickered Si Lip. I'm going to start stickering the Mugen out at some point in the next few weeks I hope. I've also been looking into a different set of wheels, possible white 16" racing hart's or white te37's with red Volk/Rays decals. It'd be nice to get some Regamasters.......
