Hey everyone,

Well ive been in absence the last week and I apologize. I havent had any real updates to give with pictures and info so i kinda stepped away. But since then, yesterday i dropped off the diff to be sent to shep and my turbo kit is getting coated. We have decided to make another dump tube to go through the hood vent and get that coated as well. Turbo will be going Monday or next week and that takes about a week. When the turbo get backs the car is going to Devin @ Boostin for him to build my Trans and put a fresh clutch in it and to put everything back together.

I finally stopped being lazy and got the parts out and get the Junk Box back together for 2012. Also next week i am ordering my NRG Carbon seat along with the CF trunk. That shouldnt take that long and installing should be fairly quick. I am also going to the 24.5" M/H slicks and getting the Slipstreams powdercoated gloss black. Ill get the slicks ordered up in the next week or too. Everything is coming together. I have a quick pic of some of the parts i shipped out. Stay tuned for more!!

Looks great bro! and i feel you time to start working and get the car done. i finally feel better but i am busy with work so time is limited but its time to get my tcase and trans pulled here. Looking forward to updates when you get the seats and turbo back!! Im ready to go racing with you!!

Which cf trunk did you decide to go with? I am trying to decide on one as well, I don't want the keyhole as I never open my trunk with the key anyway.

Glad to see you got the ball rolling

I ordered my M & H slicks a couple of weeks ago. I should be getting them today. Buschur is an M & H dealer just a FYI. When speaking to a rep awhile back he made mention that tire prices are planned to go up in 2012 sometime in January for the first time in 5 years. I bought mine before they went up.

I'd suggest the Seibon cf trunk. Mine fits damn near perfect and doesn't have the key hole, etc..

I talked to Emery @ STM and it looks like im going to go with the Seibon through him. Its a little expensive but i hear they are great quality and the fitment is pretty much perfect. Planning on ordering it next week!

Nice man, Cant go wrong with the RpF1s. RpF1s are one of my favite rims out there for an Evo. I want to make it to the Tx2k12 event also but it will be hard to get out there in March. My car will be done before that if everything goes as planned but that will be a long drive and it depends on funds. So im playing it by ear also.
