Dont worry man.. If you do it all so quick when your done youll be bored with nothing to tinker with.. this was supposed a slow build up process remember.. LOL Rome wasnt built in a day.. I have a guy waiting 7 weeks on a turbo right now to complete a 20k build..

Very true. Problem is the car is apart. If it was just little things here and there it wouldn't be a big deal if it was drivable. But I got the wife riding my *** saying here we go again Oh well, nothing I can do about it...

slowwevo-Looks good. Glad I could help you out with some mods...

Ah, at least someone is feeling my pain I guess the economy has really put a hurtin on businesses and how they stock... Looks like we will both be up and running around the same time. Sounds like a race to me

Ears itching. Oh Most-Wanted...if I only had your timeframe problems. I've been living vicariously through you for years now (ouch). Now I get to do it all over again. Joy and pain. Keep it up~the women will never understand.

Thanks... But I hope your not expecting too much this time though Gonna be more of a laid back and a casual build No lexan or custom front ends. Just A/C and bolt ons for now.... Got a little mouth to feed and need to make sure he's comfortable in the evo too Cant go over the top and dont want too anyways. I really want to find the perfect street set up with as little invesment as possible. I will continually make subtle changes until I find the sweet spot... Still gonna be fun and somewhat unique, just at a different pace then usual. Thanks for the

Thanks. We are getting there... I've tried detailing every bolt. The car was definitely played with in the dirt...

Thanks, I love music. I had 1200's too back in the day but was never really good with them Its an old art now. All the clubs use the electronic stuff, at least around here. I love this NS7. I store everything on one 1.5 terabyte external and have a few back ups. Easy to use and manage. I am running the matrix B52's for the house I can annoy the neighbors at will LOL... I just dont get to play with it enough. Thats why today I was like I have nothing to do with the car so I'll go dust it off and play some music....

Here are the Matrix.

Love the LED rear lights. Have the same setup here: TB IX JDM rear with LED lights. Soo clean. Any plans for JDM Evo MR headlights?


I'm with Mike, I don't run center caps either. Just paint the bolt / cotter pin black and call it a day.


Lookin good!

True it's an old art but there's nothing like mixin vinyl.. I'm a old school music guy so i love my old records and never got into the new mixers and such.

But hay looks like fun and want to see some more vids of your music!! Wish i had some vids of me back in da day... Maybe soon..

No high expectation needed. Just read your own threads to see how meticulous you are...me too. My car has been down so long that I contemplated buying a stock 8 or 9 for the meantime (I should have). Heck, you've probably seen it at AWD more than I have . I actually built a hooptie
94 civic hatch as my daily punishment (can't beat the 40mpg though). So keep
up the good work brother .
