Yea, that sucks...I hate nasty weather man! My FA5 is my only option really...I also have a 98' HX...it needs work though. Mileage...ugh...I have 78k now :'( I wish I could leave the Si in a garage and only bring it out on nice days!

no updates so far. i called ALL of the jdm front and rear conversion retailers from the US and they all cannot give a definite answer on when they can get brand new front and rear conversion... sounds like there's some kind of issue with the distributors from japan or some sort. i dont get it... its really frustration i have been calling for updates every week for the past 6 months...If i cant wait any longer im gonna quit this build...

however i did pick up another car to build... here she is:

Wtf?! I was looking forward to seeing the fd2 build finished. Epic fail IMO. When the build gets tough buy a different car is apparently the moral of the story here. Smh
