Been super busy working both my jobs but I was able to take some rusted parts off underneath my car. Going to have billboostin sandblast the crap out of them.


While under my car I saw how ugly my rotors looked and decided to hit up mike at Import RP to buy some new rotors and brake pads

Heres a pic of the old rotors on, should have my new ones in my late next week.

First you should think over your priorities and needs in life. Pick the car you truly see yourself driving. But dont make your car a big project without having a daily on the side. Then you wont be walking to work like me, haha.

I got to get under the car again, to see what im dealing with.

Sandblasted and sprayed


Worked on my steering rack a bit. Still needs to be cleaned up more but at least it looks better then before

How it first looked

Before any1 else ask, yellow was the only color they had in stock

Somewhat finish

You should get there no problem!! I wonder what an extra 30whp would have gotten me. Would have been nice to run the car on the track with the new top end and headers. :/

No, I originaly got the k2h plate to later on upgrade to better IM set up. Someone offered to buy my set up, so I started to look for some ITBs. But the dude ended up flaking on me Ill stick to the stock rbc for now but if I get a chance to upgrade before tuning, I will.
