lol dang guys!
i got one on my cell phone...you can barely tell what it is..you just see a black blob with red recaro logo at the top lol i need a better camera.

sucks the seat is just sitting in my room. but its super comfy.
looking into some f1spec brackets and sliders, waiting back on a pm from them.

so i have a dilemma.
buy the other recaro which is $400 shipped and be broke for another week
or don't buy the other recaro, wait till next week and hope they still have it so i can buy my brake and fuel lines tomorrow and start on those...

hmm....

horrrrible pic of the seat when i first opened it last week.

still waiting for a message back from the guy with the other one.
i think if he doesn't have it, i might buy one of the 2 exhausts ive been looking at.
buddy club pro spec or apexi ws2
both are about the same price $470.
hmm....

not much for an update but...
got the rear brake lines ran back, along with the feed and return fuel lines. f**kin shitty job.
doesn't look like ill have this on the road this year.. its been getting really cold, and even snowed this past week. sucks but it will give me months to get the brakes done, and save some money for stuff. the last thing i want to do is rush to get it on the road when snow is on its way. plus i'd still have to get it registered and get some insurance on it.
in better news....
Recaro speed #2 will be here tomorrow!!!

still want some opinions on the exhausts..... buddy club pro spec or apexi ws2??? or something else?

Yeah man, you dont want to rush.. it might be a good thing that you are gunna wait to put it on the road because like you said you can save and do things right..

Itll be more worth it to you in the end if things are done right instead of rushing ya know..

In for updates !

thanks man. yea ive been on youtube countless times. i dont really like to rely on youtube for exhaust sounds...some videos sound great, others sound horrid. so idk...

i agree man.
as for updates got the car running again with the new fuel lines and finally got the water drained and coolant added. (i first put just water in the system when i got it running and started getting nervous since its been getting cold out at night, even snowed last week)
ordered my front and rear rotors and pads all around. also my right rear caliper and left rear wheel bearing. should be here this week. just went with cheaper stuff since i plan on upgrading the fronts for sure, possibly the rears.
oh and have these sitting in my room now. i know, super high quality pic here :???:

^^^Thats prob why. I'm not arguing that they are fake, it just looks like it from the picture is all.

So with that being said.......get some better pics and a nice DSLR! =)
