Super D's new look and Sniper's spending spree.
Well, with the combination of the sale of my supercharger, doubling my money on that Prelude, and my new job, I have been on a spending spree of late. I am pleased.
Konig Minuz wheels from our sponsor BuyWheelsToday.com. Only 10.5lbs each. They are the lightest wheels I could find for under a billion dollars. That's a 28lb rotating mass savings from my old wheels. VIS Carbon Fiber hood. Sweet deal from sbowers. Thanks for the hook-up, Brotha. In case you are wondering, and I know I was, OEM hood=40lbs, CF hood=20lbs.
I even tried my hand at some body work. Not bad for my first time. Remember that big *** dent in my driver's quarter panel? Remember the holes left from the spoiler? Yeah, me neither. Yes, I know the color doesn't match perfect, buit I am getting the whole thing painted as soon as I complete my build.
I know Red coupe with black wheels are almost a cliche' now, but I like it. I think it looks tough.
How you like those custom center caps? They need another coat. I can't believe you guys let me rock those red lugs for so long.
Finally broke down and paid for a quality shifter after rockin' the ebay one for months. I have to say... well worth the money. I was surprised.
My 67lb shift ****
Tokico coilover system (sorry). Have yet to get these on since I stripped one of my shock tower bolts.
Skunk2 intake manifold and 64mm throttle body. This thing sounds awesome.
Zex 105300 (stage3) cam and valve springs and AEM cam gear.
P29 pistons. These will bring my compression to ~ 12:1. Sweet.
Umm, I think that's about it. I'm a maniac.

Looking good. The second pic makes it look like your car is painted 2 different shades of red. Are you gonna any more performance valve train components or a valve job/ P&P?
