and pleez don't think of me as one of those rich spioled kids. i worked very hard to get my car the way it is today and only spent about $3000 including the car. everything on my car was salvaged, donated or made from my own two hands. my car has never been in a shop except to get painted (by the way, the paint job was free ) and like 99.9% of all 2nd gen owners i do the work my damn self and take pride in my work! thats why all second gen's and owners are PIMP!!!!!

made the headlights meself with some sheet metal, lexan, rivits and a sheet metal bender. for about $30 not includeing the lights. the lights were bought used for about $100 mods go like this, RB downpipe 3" downpipe and silencer w/ custom sidepipe, RB fcd, paxton fpr, k&n filter, greddy profec A, act clutch, jacobs rotary pak, RB flywheel.(think thats it) I have also done almost every free mod like removing all emisions equip, japanese lower intake manifold w/o egr. tb mod. removed everything from cruise control to heater core and blower under dash to bumber reinforcements. HEY NODE! i know your lookin for a rex. i got one for sale over here in frisco. i know its far but i'm selling it for $1700. it's hella fucken fast. it use to be a n/a but not anymore. i never timed it but i think w/ a new clucth it could run a high 12 in th e1/4 mile. let me know if your intrested. thanks for all the kool feedback you guys. i knew i kould depend on you all for a little ego stroking

you say that FC used to be N/A? how did you, or someone make it not N/A?, i mean like did you go Jspec, slap a home made turbo kit on teh N/A motor, or what?, just curious. good job on the headlight kit, i've been thinking about doing that myself.

here's the deal with the "free" paint job. there was a guy who opened a paint/body shop in the area. he wen't around to local schools and hang outs and advertised his new shop. he was talkin bout aiming his buisness twords the "racing" scene. (i.e. rice rockets) he claimed he was going to do a raffel for a free paint job at his shop. so we go down to his shop the day he instructed(me and my boys figured that we have nothing to lose) he said "i want a flagship car for my shop. i'm goin to paint it the best i can so everyone will know how good my work is" he picked some rice rocket and all my friends said to paint my car. so after a couple of runs with the rice boy and a couple of victory doughnuts the guy painted both of our cars.(painted mines better) after that i got a couple of my boys a paint job by telling him that their car is faster than mine and he hoooked them up dirt cheap. that shop is now closed down. still talk to him though. kool guy. my crew is speed factor racing of frisco. the shop was millardis auto body. so he was basically my sponser

You car is very bad ***. You seem to be pretty crafty, I could never make any lights like that. They look bit low though, how is the lighting. If I were you I would capitalize by selling a light kit. What are all the gauges you have? Im trying to make a list for my car. And what color was the car originally? What mods do you have that are putting you into 13's? Its good to see someone who has a bad ride that they worked for.

wow, that paint job looks a bit ghetto, but if it's free, sure why not because:

the car is originally white and the hood was originally black.(long story)
the gauges on the dash are boots, fuel pressure, a/f, and exhaust temp. those are the gauges a friend of mine said to get for tuning the haltech i ordered in a group buy in the ecu section (might not come through though )

hey flyingoufer

i think i've seen your car before! do you ever go to the runs in milpitas?

your car is tyte man, but when i think i saw you, you didn't have your sleek lights.

do those sleek lights work for you though? the sleek light kits for 3rd gen let you use the stock bumper and still have enough light ahead of you...
the sleek light kits for 2nd gen require a modified front bumper, so i'm just wondering how much light you actually get

looks good tho!
