I won't forget. I just wish the parts would hurry up and get to Dave so I can get the rest of my car together. The type S has been on backorder for a long time and no news on the koyo yet.

Nice job getting it back on the road. I have some rear speakers with some pre-made metal adaptor if you need it. I don't know how good they are i took them from the junk yard becuase they looked new.

If you need the adaptor plates then they are yours, just let me know. Since I know it was a pain for me to make some adaptor plates, of course when I finish making mine... I find some in the yards.

Anyways, your car looks beautiful. Just like at the meet at the beach a while back.... How are you liking the Racing Beat swaybars? I thought of getting them to replace the stock ones..

I like the gauge pod alot. The gauges can be seen fine in that location except during daytime sometimes there is a glare on my gauge depending on the time of day and direction. Another thing is the sharp cut off of the gauge pod on the dash. I am still using my dash cover but just cut the part out of where the pod goes.

Thanks for the offer but I am probably gonna buy the same sound setup I had with the infinity speakers (they came with plastic bracket/spacers that fit with a little ghetto rigging. The front sway bar is pretty thick and I like it but the rear seems pretty thin... thicker than stock but I would like it thicker. I would say it's a good investment but I havent had a chance to push the car yet. I think my shocks are blown and need to contact KYB on that lifetime warranty.

Damn im sorry to hear about the shocks.... Thanks for the input on the sway bars.. I guess first ill get the shocks/springs on then take it from there...

Im a fan of the infinity speakers myself.. Mostly what hooked me was their home audio stuff, but their car stuff sounds pretty good too. Anyways.. again nice to see you back on the road.

Yea it's nice to be back on the road but not as fun when you can't boost (running with no bov as it's still on backorder). Just gotta make sure I dont boost.

Fix your headlights and put a front lip on (even the stock NA one would be better than none at all) and your car would be pretty bad ***.

Car looks sweet and clean. Now all you need to do is clean up the engine compartment with some nice vynal dye or an E-Fan. The black paint looks very clean indeed! Wheels look sweet as well
