Thanks for the comments guys. I need to finally motivate my *** to get down to Pac. Honda and order the rest of my brake lines and cables, and maybe a proportioning valve if I can get connected to Acura. I want the damn disks on already

While I'm down there, I may be placing an order for some Kevlar bucket seats too

Yeah, the trunk was repainted because she (original owner) was rear ended by a truck or somethin but you can see a little pinkness between the trunk and the quarter panel. I'm sure it can't be 100% taken care off, but I think a good orbital will take out a lot of the oxidation

I ordered the parking brake cables yesterday, along with a new rear emblem and new fog light-delete panel for the inside, and I think I'm gonna go ahead and get some SS brake lines.

School starts back in a few weeks so I've gotta get my suspension **** DONE

SICK build man. I'm a fan of MR so I can't agree with you there.

What's the deal on the suspension? Any reviews yet?

Oh and what's that "special"item your waiting on?

i can say so far that the suspension is flawless. if i could do anything different, maybe 14k up front and extend the reservoir line maybe 10" or so. but functionality-wise, they're awesome.

as for my special-order part, its been.......... 10 1/2 weeks so far.... thanks bulletproof

i need some ideas of something inexpensive or free that I can do to my car to modify it. I'm thinking about rewrapping my door panels and maybe some interior stuff, but I'm unsure on the color I want. I don't want to do red, because I personally dislike the color, and I don't know about black because the interior's actually charcoal. I may have the back seats rewrapped when I get buckets up front... and those will be black alcantara/red stitch (or I can customize them in a different fabric since they'll be made to order, anyway)

No lip yet? I wonder why it would take 10 weeks?
