snapped a stock end link some how just street driving. Maybe I installed the bar wrong? Or the hotchkis bar is too much for them, hmm now I need new ones

Removed my Espelir JGT500 Exhaust and installed a Fujitsubo RM01A exhaust. I can finally hear my son in the back and myself for once..

damn it.

so i spent the last two days wedging my POS 6spd out of the car. again. fixed the bolts. ten minutes later it was ready to put back in. again. i can't wait. taking a break until tomorrow. LOL.

damn it.
Haha! Man I did the exact same thing when I did my clutch job 2 years ago. luckily I didn't get it bolted all the way up before I remembered

Kreeker, was it worth the price of the Beatrush undertray?

Haha as you could probably tell from talking with me, I had never even used a rivet gun... I wanted to get it installed first with the original hardware and then I'll try to get the fasteners installed.

I'm going to try using the clip-on fasteners for the tow hook cover. I just have to drill a slightly larger diameter hole.

I think so. The craftsmanship is top-notch on this thing. I've only had it on for a few days so I can't say I've noticed that the car is more stable, but it makes me feel better

I ripped the stock undertray off years ago because it was too much of a hassle to remove.

Yeah the stock thing sucks. I had thought about making my own like that one guy did (can't think of his screen name at the moment) but I kind of want to just buy that and be done with it..

Got my car inspected by my insurance adjuster after I put in a claim for the damage done to my car when I took it to a shop.

Right now the damage is estimated at about $1300, but I'm trying to get them to also cover the damage done to my front lip when it was being towed to the shop... My deductible is $500 and the claim won't raise my insurance, so I'll probably take it either way.

Took out the hood vent because it was all dirty, and tried to clean it. Decided to scuff it up and paint it. I love the way it turned out.

Just picked my IX up about a month ago. Finally got the new clutch and flywheel in. Here she is from the other morning.

It is indeed orange. And it's painted. Has a nice metallic flake to it as well.

Not something that I did to the Evo this time but still wanted to share. I was able to buy back the Mustang that my dad and I had started building. We only got the motor finished before he passed and I decided to celebrate the only way appropriate.
