free yet awesome souvenier

had my car down at my buddy Bret's place Rotary Performance in VA to have the engine and LSD rebuilt for next season.... looking around a little bit, what do i see layin in a heap but one 12a rotor and its housing. i said "bret can i have this?" and he said "yeah its junk". i mean, its no good anymore, but its awesome for displayin somewhere! its even got some old shitty plugs still stickin out the side for effect lol. im gonna take it down to my mechanic buddy's shop and use his parts bin and parts cleaner hose and shine it up a little. this thing was a good find! lol

Manntis, that one looks sweet. Doesn't look spray painted like the other one that my10ae has. Both look nice to have for show, but I'd rather shell out my money for the one manntis has on his site.

Yeah, JR doesn't spraypaint the ones that I carry on my site for him. Instead they're polished metal.

Since this clock is displayed on my entertainment center, I wanted it to look presentible. A slight spray of silver makes it look decent...

I'd be down, but I gotta drive the Honda.

Maybe I can take a ride in someones modded 7... I need to feel a few of these suspension setups before I finally decide on a setup.
