It was not raspy at all, which was good. Low and high RPM's, it wasnt bad... But between 70-80 with blown speakers at the time was the worst! I hated driving with that thing on there though. Just loud, too loud for me at cruising speed.

On a side note, I had a matrix try to race me in my DD filled with car crap and my bmx bike today. I was crusing at 75 and he came up on me quick, then kept pacing next to me looking over... and he downshifted into 3rd and kept driving next to me in 3rd, and when he realized that I could care less about him, he raced himself.

For having no power! The leftovers of the hurricane came through Cincinnati and knocked trees down everywhere. 90% of the city has no power! Luckily, my sister does. Updates will be posted when I get power back on at my house though. More new parts are getting ordered today.

Alright, so a pretty crappy weekend. Got what was left of hurricane Ike, and knocked out the power... Its still out in some places and a lot of stuff looks like a ghost town.

Ended up getting a lot done though with the help of Ethan and Adam.
The hood after being sanded down to bare metal to get rid of rock chips and with the emblem shaved.


Passenger side quarter panel. Rust cut out, and new section of a patch panel welded, and smoothed out thanks to Ethan.


Trunk emblem shaved and all smoothed out.


The passenger side door damage pulled out and smoothed out.


Got my SS brakelines today from Weksos that was missed on my order! Took 2 days from cali to ohio, so thanks for the fast shipping!

I also have a bunch of other goodies on the way... Should be here before the end of the week! I hope to get a lot of work done this week because I leave for Vegas for a week the 23rd. Hopefully the car will be ready for paint after I get back.

Big thanks so far to Ethan and Adam for helping out tons with the body work! Should have some more updates tomorrow

So we got the hood done finally! Emblem shaved and every last rock chip had to be sanded to bare metal.


Car is sanded down and almost ready for paint!


Picked up an autopower roll bar a few weeks ago... Painted it black....


and then splattered red paint on it for something a little different...


Also just got my sandwich plates to mount the roll bar... Should be bolted up today!

More updates should be posted up tonight!

Alright. Tons of updates... Roll bar is in. Interior is in... for now.
Recaro's, jdm armrest with the autopower roll bar.

Also got everything in the JDM audio console hooked up and ready to go...

I am in the process of trying to get an OEM honda radio/cd player to get rid of the CD player.
Another look at the cup holder/coin trey and the audio console

Broadway 300MM mirror and the mount for the internal antenna

Roll bar mounted with the rear interior piece. This took forever to get everything lined up, but I think it was well worth it!

Door panels installed...


Pretty happy with the progress so far. Big thanks goes to Adam, Ethan, and Nick for help installing the PITA roll bar!

Also started ripping the suspension out for the new Hardrace bushings! Big thanks to Fred (sirej8) for the help with that.

Leaving for Vegas Tuesday morning, so updates might lack for a few. Just got a tracking number for my Crow harness's and they should be here today!

Let me know what you guys think of the progress! Thanks!

Yeah, I can think of AT LEAST 4 owners (Ian, Ethan, Mitchell, and Seth) of these seats... Oh well, these seats make me hate the stock seats in the DD and wont be going anywhere anytime soon.
