A bit late on the comment, but the lime green valve cover and calipers looks great with the tarmac black!

 

10 months and walking.. i know lots of people with kids that couldn't start walking until after 1. hes a quick learner.

 

btw whos the scumbag that rated this thread 1 star? lol.

I just voted it 5 now its set to 3 stars.. need a few more 5 star votes to bring it to 5 where it should be since
hes doing something others havent done before and thinking outside the box with color schemes, etc.
not to mention building an evo the way it should be built.

 

Thanks guys. I truly love being a Dad and building a streetable evo is just a fantastic bonus. Austin keeps me motivated for sure. He does seem to pick things up quick so I can only hope he'll like cars and will want to get into racing Thanks for the rating btw. I never knew there was one until that post I am anxious to get the Toxic Fab mani and get some more parts in. But for now at least the car is running and I can enjoy it. The only thing that is irritating me right now are the tires rubbing the fenders under hard cornering I need to get them rolled asap. Just cant find anyone local. I may just buy the tool and do it myself. Anyone know anyone around me or anyone have experience with rolling the fenders that can shed some light?


And thanks tscompusa... I'm sure there are a ton of people that disagree with my build and how I am raising my son for that matter. Doesn't phase me one bit. I have already had a fast evo and have nothing to prove. I just want to do something different and still enjoy the evo. Dont get me wrong, there are a ton of times I wished I had 200-400 more whp, but it just isn't practical. I love pulling into the gas station and filling up with 93 while the tv is on LOL...

As for my son and catching on quick. Thank you but I owe it to my wifes dediciation during pregnancy. She was on a special diet and excercise program. We walked like 6 miles a day right up until 2 days before she gave birth. She was in labor for only 20 minutes and I think the whole process is what has helped him be the person he is today. he has not even been sick one time. He has never had a pacifier, has a full mouth of teeth, and eats regular meals with us. He hasnt had baby food in a long time. And we never ever baby talk him. If he falls I tell him to get up. Is it the right approach, I think so. I spent alot of time reading books to educate myself and just want my son one step ahead of the rest.

The procco event is right around the corner and it feels like that weekend will never come. Cant wait to hang out, talk shop, and grab a slice of Proccolino's Pizza

 

Brain, check out Autoglitz in Hollywood if you have time to go down there as a member on here told me about them. $75 for both rear fenders.

 

excellent, I will check them out. Thanks for the info. I really need to get this done.

 

No problem man, just helping out a fellow

 

Well Austin enjoyed his first Halloween He played with the twizzlers but of course we didnt let him eat them

Dad enjoyed Halloween because Mom was a girlscout LOL...

 

I just actually read this whole thread and wow I love the attention to detail. Your car looks fresh! Where did you get the bung and fitting for your J-pipe?I have the BR LICP too and I like the way you did yours.

 

Thank you. I bought the fitting from Home Depot in the plumbing section. The bung I had to have my cage builder buy and weld it in. I couldnt find a bung that fit anywhere. I tried several automotive parts stores and nothing. He charged me $50 for everything. Be careful on where you place it. I did a quick once over and thought I had a ton of space. Got it home and it didnt fit because with the bung and fitting being much longer than stock it was hitting. So I had to take it back and have him redo it for another $50... "DOH!" LOL....

 

This might be a stupid question, but, could you guys tell me what that fitting in the down-pipe is for?? Thanks!

That's a pressure/vacuum source in the turbo outlet

 

^^^from Ponce huh? La Perla de el Sur haha. I'm from Arecibo

 

tres palm ...ftw lol

 

Man, who sets their rev limiter to 7200? :P LOL... Just as soon as it starts to pull nice its cuts LOL... Cant wait to change that.... Drove the car today on a small trip and it was awesome. Cant wait to the last few things arrive so I can tune it. I am thinking I will be doing an E85 tune as well. Yeah I know, that didnt last long Just knowing there is an extra 100 whp available on a Green just kills me

Procco event around the corner and then more tinkering.
