I'm a good painter as long as I don't spray brake cleaner on my work.

I want a dead pedal eventually, but I just like giving you a hard time

Matt, I got my Dead Pedal at UltimatePedals.com

I'm really considering the Carbon Fiber roof....I took my Type S to Jay Wolfe today to show it off. Some liked it, others didn't like it. They replaced my floormats for me, under warranty!


Plus....step away from the Brake Cleaner and no one will get hurt!!!

Call Eric @ PDI to do it before you buy anything. Get his opinion on what material and see how much he would want to do it. I think black would be just fine too, match the sunroof glass better than CF would, unless you have him cover the sunroof too.

Just my $.02, but either way, I'm on board and approve this mod!

All you guys teh sux. This is the only forum I post on (you can tell by my post count) and you are all doing stuff to your rides, grrrrrrr
I don't have a big garage at my place, but your more than welcome to come here. That all depends on if your apartment allows people to work on there cars. Just asking cause some don't.
I'm willing to help if needed or wanted, I just have to know when and where and of course get the approval from the wife.

Yeah Robbie, we all feel so sorry for you and you un-modded car

Go into other forums like car talk and just reply to other peoples threads. I think there is an EVO thread if not make one. Dude you have one of the nicest EVO's I've ever seen. Get your post count up so you can PM, have an Avatar pic and the such. DO IT!!! It would take you 20 min to get 15 or so posts.

no sir....the way the weather was, i didnt want people getting cooked up (106 on Saturday) or blown away (tornado on Sunday).....

but i did make a lot of progress....i have taken out all the seats, the carpet....trying to make the seat brackets using the stock brackets....the driver's side was easy but the damn passengers side is being a bish !!!

manifold/runners/TB/battery/everything from the engine bay is out (except the engine and the tranny and the electricals).....

what i have to do it make a custom dash for my stuff, make the seat brackets fit, swap the rear bumper with Mike, remove the ebrake (no drifting for me)....finish some electrical connections....

so yeah....who is up for next weekend ?

Guys, we need to maybe plan a Sunday and or Saturday afternoon to get all cars ready for the meet.

We can do this at my house, but remember I'm on the radio until 3pm every Saturday.

We can get Anil's car ready to go. Plus, we might need to help Buda (Sean) prep his car for the meet.
