Installed this little guy, I love it.





Update: Got another one of my self gifts for Christmas lol.

I haven't really messed with it but there isn't much room in the bay for the can yet. Good thing I was already going to delete my ac. I also haven't played with how the lines are going to run. This is going to be awesome when it's installed.









A very profitable Christmas indeed :rubs hands together:



























Ok so here is what I'm doing car wise for the next year or so.

My inspiration:





Here are some shots I took when I was reunited with my baby.

Car is dirty and won't start. I think something is draining the battery when it sits. I might install my new valvecover and might install my shiny JDM window visors but time is against me. Stupid dental appointments and having to go back to school.











USDM now, no heated seat switches

See, nobody here gives a damn about your car.



So you can go ahead and just uhh... you know, send it out my way


I'm so jealous of your bay... WHY is it nobody has the typical corrosion issues we all have here on the East coast!!!!!!


I demand more bay shots.

[nordicBBsex]

Sure, you can have my car < REALLY wanted to use that.

The bay is nothing special, just clean because I am anal and have a shit ton of simple green. There is surface rust under the battery that annoys the hell out of me and when I relocate that ish this summer it will REALLY get on my nerves. I'm not with the car so I will have to dig for more bay shots, or have my dad shoot some. I won't let you down

[Wing]

woooooooot!!


I've been working on my bay for the past 3 days - as far as cleaning up the corrosion and a little oil. No simple green, just a tooth brush and polish takes it all off....sucks keeping the engine in...


You can just order a can of paint to match your car and clean that little spot up. Idk why nobody ever paints that spot after a battery relocation - it'll annoy me when i do mine until the paint comes in.

this guy. lol
