Bwaahahahaha.. NEVER!

LOL, in all honesty, I set up a separate savings acct at my bank for money to go in every week. I am horrible with saving moneys. This way, I should be able to live comfortably and have the money end of spring 2011.

I think your next major purchase should either be PAINT or a salvage front end that's already PAINTED. Those blades would be much better looking if the front end was PAINTED to match.

Silver PAINT with blades = cash

^^ DOO eet!

I think I am pretty sold on that header seeing as I was planning on getting a Bisi anyways, but I really don't feel like worrying about welding etc etc, plus I have a seen a few bad manifolds from them recently on other forums where welds are breaking left and right, and it is cheaper. I'll have to look out for anyone who bought it and see what they think a few months down the road.

I want more moneyz like right now

The header just looks absolutely badass. Kiddracing headers are getting pretty famous and well known with good responses from customers, great price for proven types that pretty much mimmic the real thing much better than eBay stuff.

Pic of the new headliner fabric. not sure when i will get around to actually installing it. It is a lot more red, rather than orange, in person. Lighting and my camera suck.

Just as an update, I thought the IAT sensor was fixed, but for some reason it is not. I may have either switched the wires when re-wiring, or the sensor may be just need to be replaced. The other CEL which was putting my vehicle into a limp mode was the VSS. I removed the kick panel do do some tuning and a buddy of my jammed his feet into the wiring harness getting into my car by accident. Ripped the wire right out. Meh, I went ahead and just picked up a replacement conversion harness as the one i have now is pretty shoddy looking. Maybe the IAT wiring on the conversion harness was damaged, too. Hmmm I'll will have to check that out while I am down there.

This weekend, I would like to drop the headliner to prep it for the new fabric, but I seriously doubt that will happen. The CEL is a priority of mine since I have been driving with it on for the past 2 weeks. :P

Also, I picked up some spark plugs from eBay, and a Professional Products reusable billet oil filter of off someone on CC brand new. Should be the last filter I ever need! Sweet.

Still playing with the CEL, no luck yet getting it to turn off. I'm not overly concerned about it though.

Nothing has been done with the headliner... yet.

I ended up installing some Del Sol seats last night. Took me about 3 hours total. Veeerrryy comfortable, and they hold you in place pretty well compared to the Integra seats I had last year. They sit extremely low on EK rails, too. Makes me feel like my *** is about 4 inches from the ground. I'll try to get a few pics tonight or over the weekend for you guys.
