THanks so much guys. Also as some of you know I have rear disks now, and my balljoints finally came in for my prelude arms so they will be on soon, as well as new tires and alignment next week, maybe wheel painting too.

Also heres the kicker....I might be running low on funds this year again....so guess what.....ITBs will be in store in the coming months, as well as a new video to commemorate my aom award.

Once again thanks everyone who voted for me for this honor. I really didnt think I was going to win going in to this, as Bitesize has put a lot of work in his car as well and definitely deserves a shoutout. Thanks everyone and cheers.


And remember everyone build what ya got, and dont let anything get ya down. Make your car your own, and forget the haters. Most of us have more fun in our 3gees, than some people do in cars 2, 3, even 20x more expensive than ours. :)

I know, I know lol. I just finally got time to fool with small things now though lol. I still have to adjust it a little more, cause 2nd gear is going longer than I want during stop and go traffic. Its still slow though, I estimate my 0-60 is around 9-10 seconds now, which is a lot better than I think 16 was the last timed 0-60 i did.
