I've had Cops point & laugh & one guy in a civic chased me down to take pictures.
A picture of the bloody boot is in my gallery
You definitely get looks--Good times!

Today I went out to wipe the dust off of the car (It might be broke but that dont mean it cant look good
) and had a couple ideas of things to do in the future.
For one I started thinking up a new airbox design (since somebody took my last one, and decided to call it theirs!) I think I got it figgured out how I want to do it, it's just taking all the measurements necisary and geting the supplies to do it.
I also pulled my JCW bumpers down from the loft, and did a little thinking about splitters, under body trays, and a rear defuser.
The airbox will be coming first, Im doing some draft's now, and might do some test pices soon just to see what I will be getting myself into. My welding skills need improovement again.

Now rather than just fixing the broken part I am going to be doing a full rebuild. Well not me exactly but Thumper Performance, will more than likely be carrying out the build.
I dont trust myself enough to get all the tollerances where they need to be for the abuse that I will continue to put the car through.The next time that the car is on a dyno there is going to be a lot of different things that are going to be adding power. It will be really hard to tell if it does anything or not, without swaping intakes in the dyno room. (Thats not totally out of the question though)
I would share my plan for it but that didnt work out so good the first time. I will go into detail once the first one is being built.

How did you spin a rod bearing? I don't want to do the same. I am looking for safe mods. Did you have old oil? or....
They rock don't they? One of the best lighting options out there. They fill in under the Xenons really nice. Get it on a dark back road sometime and turn off the Xenons...you can practically drive on just the fogs.

Finally picked him up from the body shop, he's been in jail for eight long days. I really liked the Countryman that the dealer gave me as a loaner but there is nothing like driving your own!
well not all today, but in the last 2 weeks:
NM torque arm bushing
resonator delete
plastidip headlight / tail light rings
and just got a new set of Yokohama S drives put on tonight
FMIC is next as soon as the latest Helix GB gets distributed...

Sitting in the mini dealer waiting for them to clean some residue that stained my fenders from the shipping process and having them fill in rattle in the doors that my exhaust created (not telling them that lol) and fixing my rearview mirror that mysteriously fell off. Crappy quality check after ship
