Well not much going on at the moment with this car, just waiting for my dad to get down and dirty with the body work.

I'm going to sell my roof rack, and tow hooks, so I can have money towards West Michigan Honda Meet in July at Gingerman!

Some what of an update.

Just purchased an JDM ITR 23mm rear sway bar, ASR purple subframe brace, F&F LCA's, B&M precision short throw, and Energy Shifter bushings.





And this is what my car looks like right now.

Just got off the phone with my dad. Over spring break we are going to sand the rest of the car down, then install the patch panel on the drivers side

somewhat of an update!

Picked up some Nippon F2's today.

Came home for spring break, and MAN we are getting pounded with snow right now, close to 2 feet of snow in the past couple of hours here in Michigan.

Nah I don't think it's ricer at all. It has a good tone to it for being eGAY! Getting a new axle-back is one of the last things I need to do.

By the way here's a video I made from today, I got bored.

I think you really should take those stickers off your wheels.

You're welcome.

YES! Any exhaust shop can get you taken care of in minutes! They have hangers just laying around... bada bing bada boom. It would not cost much and would look better. Bet ya they would do it for under $20. If you had a welder it would be easy. I custom made my CRX exhaust and welded on my own hangers etc. Not hard at all. Based on everything else you have done,you have the skillz to do it.

Awesome! I'll have to see what I can do. Probably will just take it in the spring time to have a shop put them on, I don't know how to weld. Haha

I think dual exhaust tips looks good on some cars but not others. This one pulls it off well.

Thanks! It's not fully done yet (my kind of "done") I still need to do the passengers side, fuse box, and battery. Hopefully that will be done in summer time.

I agree with you. I had a stupid N1 fart can previously, so I was like "hell, I'll just try this dual tip out". It has a tad bit deeper tone compared to the N1, and sounds somewhat less ricey.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. My daily driver with a blend of weekend racer status.

And I will do that, come early May.

Well today was a successful day. Got the shift linkage installed and ready to shift. My dad and I sanded down the whole car, and took off the rusted out quarter panel. I also had some free time to clean up the bay a bit. It desperately needs a spray. So excited to see it get all done!!! One step closer to perfection :D
