Rep Power: 563 oh wait...just get Sparco pedals or something...
nothing looks nicer than worn racing pedals. My Sparco's were blue but now are slightly worn down to the metal and they look great that way

Rep Power: 368 Well, my car is due in to the body shop a week today (yay) and I have to rent a car for that week. Crappily enough, the photoshoot is scheduled for this weekend, so there's no way in hell the front lip will have been molded...I'm gonna have to get the photographer to photoshop the chewed up lip paint. Also I'm putting in the Hayames tonight with a friend's help...I hope afterwards I'm one of the success stories and not one of the guys complaining about it. I'm a little nervous, can you tell?
Also, I took my rear upper strut bar off last night in preparation for the install tonight (it was a bitch to put on so I wanted it out of the way). In so doing I screwed up the threads on TWO of the mounting bolts on the rear struts. So now I'm running with ONE bolt per rear strut. I better not get airborne today, the suckers will fall right out!

Rep Power: 368 nox, me n u gotta get together VERY soon to work on the trunk setup. I have my box out of my car right now and it's pissing me off not having any bass. All these little crap-*** kids with a 10" in their Cavaliers keep pulling up and booming and staring at me. I need to shake some mirrors dammit!
I can help you with the rest of that shizzat. Except the sex. Oh and talk to ricochet from ClubEL, he's got a GB on Compustars.
