WOW!

I totally forgot to get pics for you, I should do that today!

Umm, I still haven't bothered to get OEM belts, still rockin' the Corbeau's I picked up from Kanchi.

My rear seat is out atm because I installed Alpine Type-S 6.5" components all around and after removing the harness bar to get the rear door cards off I wasn't about to put them back in lol. So I'll probably take out the seat back and some other stuff there shortly.

I haven't found the extra cash to fill/paint the holes from the kill switch/terminals/tow-hooks yet mostly due to the ridiculous alternator/water-pump crap I had to go through recently, and because I need tires for my 18's which I'm getting this weekend so those are going back on and I'll lower my car back down yay!

Still about 40% into the turbo project as well, not sure if I'll ever actually finish it, I suspect I'd just be way happier with an MT swap instead but who knows if that'll ever happen or if I should even bother at this point.

Umm.. what else.. oh yeah my throttle body gave out so I got one from a yard and put that in, and umm, the alternator I had gave out, so I replaced it with a toyota OEM one this time, sucker was like $600 -.-

So, tomorrow or this afternoon the wheels go back on, the sway bar goes back to 'race' from 'street' and I'll lower the car and check over all my struts and lube 'em up or w/e they need, and then the new tires over the weekend and possibly a bike rack as I'm training for the Seattle-to-Portland ride this summer and do actually need a bike rack.. so yay!

Maybe some pics this weekend after it's all back to the way it should be, although I am shopping around for different wheels too, thinkin XD-9's or XT-7's in 18x9, I'll have 235/40/18 tires to put on them, so I'm not looking to do any sort of crazy stance, in fact that's a normal size tire for a 9" wide wheel so that'll be a bit less hardcore than some of these guys.

Also wanna grab the kaminari flush mount and maybe a CF garnish or a badgeless one. Also shopping for '08 headlights, have a deal that might work out on those in another week, I hope so anyway.

So yeah, hi.

Picking up my '08 headlights on Friday black housings, black rings, clear corners!

Hoping to pick up some RS1 grills finally! PLEASE flintMicatC save them for me!

Also to order a carbon garnish, maybe someone local has one, hmm.

Also have a few tiny things I should finally pick up, battery tie-down/radiator stays and tinted side-markers and such, the little things bring it all together.

And to finally take those darn harness bar pictures lol.

Also DKFung88 did an LED swap on my gauges and HVAC for me, so I'll take some pictures of that, went white/blue on it all, looks really nice.

As for the backseat... it's all out lol, it's all just sitting in my garage, nobody can sit back there with the harness bar anyway, although the road noise is kind of getting to me, so I might end up putting at least the door panels back in.

Not a bad job on the headlights. Kinda stealthy.

does your rear lift gate hit the copperhead bike mounts when you open it?

Nope, clears just fine, no modifications to the bike mounts except cutting down the mounting bolts and using a regular nut instead of a wingnut to make clearance for the sunroof.
