Thanks everyone!

Yes I did prep the block before I painted it; same as my pipes and exhaust.

I was going to take out the sound deadening, but i still have interior so i didn't care much at the time. The only place you see that stuff is in the empty trunk.

The welds are not the best of course (i know). This was my first exhaust and intercooler job that I did...of course I practiced before hand prior to doing my final products.

EM2 seats were only $100 for both. I had to cut and weld the brackets' mounts on the bottom to fit my car. It was pretty simple once I figured you just had to turn them around to fit perfectly. Also had to change out my old belt buckles for the new EM2 belt buckles. Had to have an interior shop do those cause I didn't have the right sewing machine.

The wheel offsets are +38 fronts and +28 rears. They would be flushed, but I had to use 15mm spacers due to the 4x114.3 pattern.

I think your car looks great, and youve got some awesome mods.
Only thing Im not fond of, I just never liked silver cars with white wheels.

Yea building a car like that is easy lol. Way to minimize all the hard work and money that went into that, if it was easy more cars would be this well built.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. Yes it did take me a long time and money, but in the end it came out to what "I" wanted it to be. I didn't want to miss any steps and have to redo any half-assed jobs; I wanted to do it right the first time. Lots of planning and research to have everything match up and work out in the end. This summer will have new changes of course. =)

And yes, I know this isn't a "baller" build or the "fastest" build. It was built for fun street usage and occasionl track events. The T25 at 9psi is very fun and strong already.

Thanks again for the comments people.
