Small Update:

Craig over at SparkTech will be releasing a new design for his pro CDI ignition billet caps. Looks like I will be getting one of the first sets. Will hopefully have it by next week.

Turbo should be going on here soon as well as the stainless allen bolts finally came in. I will get pics of that posted as soon as i get them.

Here is a pic of the hot parts fresh with ceramic coating. Installed pics should be coming soon and the tentative tune date is next Friday.

So, the day started off great, picked up some c16 and saw the evo with a beautiful custom exhaust....seen here:





Car was literally a couple hours away from being tuned and finished, just had to put it on a tow truck and have it sent back to reese tuning (exhaust was being done down the street by speedforce racing).

Well, the tow truck driver thought that the radiator support frame was a tow point....sadly, it is and was not. He ended up ripping off the left side of the entire radiator support fram...like ripped the welds off the frame, no exageration, and in the process took out the power steering pump, radiator, intercooler, and maybe even the turbo and exhaust manifold. The radiator support was bent up so badly that it cracked my headlights as well.

With all of that fun stuff happening, the car is now off to the body shop after the insurance company looks at it tomorrow.
