Thanks MAN!!!I think you should swap a manual into this thing... and build the motor...
This car is toooo nice and clean to get rid of!
Yea my team wants to swap a 5 speed into my car as well...Im not sure i want to do it because the past few cars i have had put me through court alot with speeding tickets.... no bueno..i just had a heavy foot and i figured the only way i could get away from that was to go with an automatic..Been doing good so far..i have looked at the Greddy Turbo Setup for the B18B's i think it was around 2400 for the full setup with intercooler and RC injectors came with the kit...plus the money i would need for test and tune...Well see now im just saving up for the time being and see what happens next ...:thumbs up

invest in a radar detector. Not a cheap one a good quality one. it will pay for itself after a while. i have a cheap on now ($40 on sale) and i am very happy with cause it saved me from a speeding ticket on numerous occasions. Even if i fails me in the future and I end up getting a ticket I won't be mad because it has saved me so many times before. The best $40 I ever spent.
And as far as painting goes I did not paint it myself. had a local shop do it for me and gave me a 5 year warranty on it. Body work was good but now my fenders are dented in, not a big deal though im happy with it.

i don't know too much detail of my paint job.
it was a $1200 paint job. but i got a hook up. My friend works a car dealership who uses the company all the time. they have been bringing all their cars their for years and the paint shop charges them $350 a car instead of $1200 since they are always bringing in cars.
So i paid the dealership fee of $350. They did not paint under the hood. that's was couple hundred more; i was like f that. im saving up for a jdm front anyways
