I'm sure you could use a vacation. Road trip to Sasha's place? :bowrofl:

Everything is a pain in the butt. Nobody want my money so I'm doing it all myself. Two things I don't do, 1. paint cars, and 2. weld.

Local body shops don't want my car taking up space because they are making good money doing insurance work. I finally found a place that will spray the kit for me, I just need to do the body work.

This is what I've been up to on the weekend,

I'm also trying to find someone that can/will weld Stainless Steel for me so I can repurpose my Berk exhaust. I really like the the look and sound of the Berk but as you know, it won't bolt up to the turbo piping without modification. The easy way is selling the Berk stuff and buying FI (which bolts right up). I just don't care for the way the canisters are on the FI, look a little Honda Civic'ish to me. Having said that, I will probably go with the FI. :ugh2:

Im sorry to hear of your troubles finding someone to take your money. As crazy as it sounds I cant find a legit place near me to take mine either, just your here today gone tomorrow shops will take it.

Yeah, too many of those guys around. It's probably for the best anyways, I'm a picky mofo. :bowrofl:

Great start. Subd and repped.

Making progress...

Hey! Here's an idea! Send the skirts and rear bumper too!

lol :p :nutswinger:

Oh, I don't know... I'm getting used to the unfinished look. :p

Side skirts are ready to go. The rear bumper needs some carbon fibre repair... Soon! :tup:

Lovin' the build Gale! :tup:

Great choices made and the shaved front emblem looks awesome. :tup:

Kuddos for all the DIY!

Thanks Gurney. :tup:


I just ordered up a few more things for my build,

• Mishimoto Rad hoses
• Whiteline lateral locks for rear sway bar
• HKS EVC-s boost controller
• RJM Performance clutch pedal assembly

I cant wait to get the clutch assembly! It may have been stated already but when is your kit going to be sent to you?

I personally feel that this is the ONLY way to add a lip etc... :tup:
