I have sat in two sets of those and they were great, but neither was reclinable. Ill probably end up with a set of Brides. Seem like a good mix of quality vs price.

Still waiting on my gauges and the triple gauge pod. Then its turbo time.

Havent been on in a while. I just recently bought a house, so the car was put on hold for a bit. But on the plus side...I have a 2.5 car garage now! I plan on putting a wood burning stove out there that was in the basement so I can have some decent heat while working on the car.

Current things to do now that Ive caught up on the house...

Get the turbo kit on and tuned. Its 100% complete.
Install smoked amber side markers that Ive had for a while now.
My Rota C8's are going back on now that winter has arrived.
Paint the CTR rear lip I got and install it.
Looking for a CTR spoiler.

Haha I was just thinking today, haven't seen Plethoric on hcf in a long time.

What power are you going to try for with the boost? We need a high hp car on here, go for 400+!

Im shooting for around 300. Im not building this block so I dont plan on pushing it too hard. However, Im always keeping my eyes open for a cheap GSR block for a build. But this is my daily car, so until a CRX pops up for $1000 or less it needs to be daily safe haha.

Well its starting to warm up, so its about time to start working on the car again. I ended up having some down pipe issues and had to have one custom made. Its still not on the car, decided to hold off through winter.

I have a small rust spot forming in one quarter, so I plan on nipping it early. I am painting the car this spring or summer. I need some opinions!

Colors Im really considering...

WRX blue or Monte Carlo Blue off the S2000
Olive Green thats on the CR-V
Black respray
