Dropped stock exhaust and threw in another temp n/a driveshaft. Original driveshaft had about a half inch of slop. Thanks to BeachFC for hooking it up!

Wow it's really coming together quickly! Looks great!

Did you figure out what color you're going to paint it yet? And what about engine work?

I hate when I don't hop up and do things that I think about, and then someone goes and pulls them off perfect! Ie: the Toyota vents..

Albeit, I wasn't thinking of using Toyota vents, but some other fiberglass vents sorta like those.


Side note;

Two things,

1: let's post up soon, you owe me a beer
2: let's go to the track soon

Hmm, still debating on a few colors. Definitely want it to pop but also don't wanna spend too a lot on mixing paint lol.

It is the Manly sized wing stands, was pretty close to getting fd legal myself. Was a little worried it was going to be too tall but I like how it came out.


Anyways, overheated the little n/a motor on the freeway the other day. So back to the shop it was.

With some real downtime I went ahead and did some cleaning on the rear subframe.

Plus waiting on more parts decided to get the 13b ready to pull and cut out the front of the wheel wells.
