Yup, still actively working on it. Just put a new Blackworks Racing dual core black radiator in it and a few other accessories over the last few days.

Beauty and the Beast! I know the style isn't for everyone, but I built this for ME and ME only, and I'm proud of it!

Still have plans for a roof rack and a few other mil-spec style accessories.

CB radio install coming soon, too

#346002 You should get SiR EG cluster if you can. Have you thought of some more aggressive camshafts?

Not so fond of the lights on the front, but if it's your thing, then rock it!

#346510 Well, I was gonna wash the hatch and get some quality photo's in random locations, but something bad happened while I was on my way to a buddy's house to fix a head gasket in his truck.

I stopped by at the Honda dealership to pick up a replacement wheel stud for the sedan. The dealership entrance and exit both are lined with HUGE speedbumps to keep people from speeding through the inventory (it was a tightly packed small parking lot). Going in, I felt it scrap across the exhaust a little, but everything was ok. Going out, however... I caught the cherrybomb glasspack on the speedbump, which in turned RIPPED the shitty welds the previous owner did to secure it to the header, which basically left me driving though downtown with only a header, and the rest of the exhaust dragging across the road... It was LOUD and annoying! And to make it worse, I was 45 minutes away from home (30 of which were Interstate). I was able to re-hang the rest of the piping while at my buddy's house (5 or so miles away from the dealer), but I had to run it home like that. I had a headache by the time I got home and my ears hurt...

So I've got a new shiny header with an actual flange on it, gaskets, and adapter pipe so I can run it into the mid pipe of the Skunk2 on the way.

On the bright side, thanks to a member on here, I've got some replacement interior parts and a new set of stock tails coming!

The blacked out ones are falling apart, and I never did care for them much.
