ENT-Z Build Thread

[ENT-Z]

It's long overdue, but I figured I would join the rank and file and put up my own build thread.

I purchased the car new in May of 2009 and have been reading the forum regularly even before that. I've used the knowledge I've gained on this site to guide my build choices. The car didn't see very many modifications for the first year or so but recently I have been making a lot of changes. It's still not complete but I figured it's far enough along now to start this journal.
