Default freakin_elrod's new FA5 build

As some of may know, my DA got PWND about a month ago by a low skills driver. It happend while I was on base taking a PFT and I came back to this:

the suicide bomb attack.

the car had frame damage and the rear was pushed up against a fence from its original location
heres what she use to look like in her prime:



so now here is my new build, an 07 ASM FA5 with 24k on the clock.

new to me off the lot:


ordered some skunk2 springs which came in about a week after i bought the car:


and now how she sits after a few little mods:











more to come with this build, but it'll be a little bit slower than the DA build.

I can't wait for this car to grow like your last cars did. Any plans for some Mugen Si bits?

yeah probably just the window visors is all. the hfp front lip is next on the list of mods and then the rest of the bolt on parts will follow soon after.

whats next? cone dogding. i'm taking it auto-xing next weekend. as far as mods go, it'll probably be the HFP lip kit and then a 70mm cat back exhaust, race header, and either the cobb access port or hondata flash pro.

I'd love to see the Mugen Si rear bumper. that thing looks awesome. But the HFP front lip looks great too. I like it more than the Mugen one. What exhaust are you thinking?
I know the T1R on that car sounds amazing, almost orgasmic
