Sooooo.....

Exhaust still isn't here. Getting jerked around a little by eAutoworks. Supposedly it will be here by Wednesday now. We'll see. I did however mount up the downpipe and test pipe I bought. I need to take them back off and exaggerate the bend in the downpipe to get it to tuck a little better.

EGR plugs are in, completing the emissions removal.

Interior is done for now, until cage time =)

Fixed my buddy Manny's bumper on his new Civic for him. I think it turned out pretty gnarly.

Our Mother Always Told Us

"Your body is your temple."

It's so true on so many levels. Without good health we have nothing.

Summer is coming. And it's going to be RAD.

A Panda in The Snow

Panda Pirate Brian put together a video of some sliding while he was back home from Japan. Enjoy! =D

Sound Deadening

Decided to continue with removing the sound deadening. I'm gonna keep the car gutted and possibly paint the inside. We'll see where it goes. Nissan did a hella good job caking the stuff on to the transmission tunnel and wheel wells. The task definitely blows but will be worth it in the end...road noise and all lol. I'm also trying to source some manual seat belts to get rid of all the auto business.

Simple Stuffs

Today I went ahead and removed my EGR bogusness. We're just waiting on the plugs to come in for the holes in our headers where the EGR tubes used to be. After that Taylor decided to paint his valve cover. Turns out he was sent a valve cover gasket for an S14 KA (yes they're different), so I pulled my cover and painted it too to make good use of the spare gasket. I went with white. Number one chose black. Here's the shots of what happened. Notice the front of Taylor's valve cover. He painted "no compressor", repping our love for NA power. =)

Radio Harnesses Showed Up

So I wired up my new headunit tonight and I'm really happy with it. It's not mounted yet because I'm waiting for new brackets, but I tested it out and it sounds good. Also went ahead and painted my wink mirror mounts and a couple other odds and ends of the interior. Looking better every day.

And yes that's a Hardee's Steak and Egg Biscuit. <3

Across The Pond

We tend to regularly visit blogs of dudes that share similar interests as us. As my brother was taking roll a few days ago he ran into a picture of my car on Hudson, a blog from the United Kingdom. It's awesome to see my car popping up and getting some attention in other countries. Thanks for the love Hudson! Anyways, check out his blog. K's Aero Silvia Awesomeness.
