It'll be in a Mag in July, once the new hood, rims and paint job is done.

Additional UPDATE:

I bought a Blitz Digital EBC today. 4 diff boost settings, for staged launches, supporting up to 29psi.

I also bought Corbau A4 seats with brackets and sliders.

Josh from DH Racing informed me that they already began work on my car. Should be damn fast when it's done .

F-U! My dad would kill me if he found out what I've been doing to my car... And my mom went half way on the tires getting put on on wednesday...

I pay for my stuff. In this case a couple of my friends spotted me some cash cuz they want it done almost as bad as I do.. That's it though.

chill dude, I was just messin around...we are all just a little puzzled about how exactly you afford all of this stuff just from working at CompUSA...I know a kid that used to work there and he made around $12 an hour, and call me crazy, but it doesnt seem like you could afford all of this stuff just on that.

Nah, you could. I guess the rest of us just don't spend as much as Joe does on our rides. I know that I only spend like maybe 10% of my income on my 'vic.
