Just ordered new carpet from stockinteriors.com
OEM style molded carpet, black, with mass backing. Now the interior will be complete. I didn't want to buy it right now because I felt I should be saving it, but then I realized that if I buy it my interior will be finished (except new tint later on... if you even call that interior) so it's well worth knocking it off the list right now.

yea yea
next weeks paycheck will be 90% saved and then the week after i'll contact my friend with the turbo and charge piping/intercooler and see if he's ready for me to buy. If he's not ready then i'll contact the guy with the transmission and see if he still has it. If he already sold it well then if I have enough I'll go ahead and send the head in to be worked on.

I'm willing to admit... i'm bad at saving money. Problem is that there's so much stuff I want for my car. lol
I just have too many ideas floating around that sidetrack me. Maybe i'll win the lotto, lol. Then I could knock everything out within a couple weeks. lol

I'm at the beginning of this process. I should be saving for paint but there are so many easy and good looking things to buy for my car with the money i have now due to the fact that my car finally has everything fixed and looking how its supposed to compared to when i bought it cheap.

Well that is true... It just takes me forever because i only work part time and pay my insurance and i would work more but im a college student. But the bills part of it would indeed be worse. I'm sure you will do fine.

Today I changed the PCV valve, cap/rotor, fuel filter, rear view mirror, and driver door hinges. All brand new OEM Honda.
The rattle in my driver door is now gone. Finally, peace and quiet.
Oh and now my mirror stays in place. No more adjusting it every 2 minutes.
