Type-R, Hawaii, Camera. 56K = Not a chance!
I've had the car in my possesion for three days now. Been nice getting reaquainted since I left it in Seattle under the care and watchful eye of 92TypeR. Last I saw the car was when we did a complete engine tear down of all the turbo parts and then built it back up with N/A parts (Big thanks again to 92TypeR and Jisu009 
).
Over the past few days I've been doing your regular things like changing the oil, checking fluids, cleaning the interior (had mildew from shipping
) and cleaning the exterior.
Along with that I've been working on some exhaust demons that I've pretty much taken care of. I had two exhaust leaks, and one of the hangers on the muffler kept falling off, then it would rattle against the rear suspension.
Yesterday (the 18th of Jan) was my 28th birthday and I really didn't do much, so luck have it be that a guy I needed to do some computer work for, ended up flaking out. So I went home, washed the car and grabbed my tripod and camera.
I spent six hours just driving and looking at things. Opened up the car a few times and that felt really good.
Well enough talking. I hope you enjoy my photos

Awesome pics Brando. Happy B-Day too BTW.
Yer car looks hot with the JDM 16's . Good job painting that front lip.
ITR + Hawaii = jealousy from WR. I wonder if my R will fit on the plane

Glad to see you back in action
How does she run? I didn't drive it much, only back from the shop and to the loading docks so I really didn't get a feel for the new N/A setup.
And to all the paint jocks, calm down, its a rebuild in progress, some things take time, but at least its not in the hands of some moron.
I hope you can take me to those rocks when I come, I might accidentally knock a stack over, just to say I did.
Oh, and happy birfday yo

I like the JDM ITR wheels more than the gramlights, although they're not quite as original.
Car aside, those beaches look AMAZING. I would love to just find one of those hidden beaches among the rocks and chill.
