guys i need some advice. the autobody business is pretty slow in roanoke va at this time and i have 3 things i need now but will only have the $ for one at a time so what first? ek9 molding, duckbill, alarm with key fob? hopefully installing the turbo kit this weekend. windows getting tinted to virginia's legal standards friday. va's car laws absolutely suck balls.

That's really nice. I'd love to see this thing in person, but I live up in pa. There needs to be another Honda meet in like MA or VA sometime before winter.

well had the trans R&R'd but the bearings i ordered were wrong. i think honda ordered them for the wrongs trans. i needed the car to drive to TN for thanksgiving and all the bearing still seemed ok. so we put it back together. shifts great but still needs an input shaft bearing. i guess that will have to wait a while. just makes an awful sound. but here are some pics at Virginia International Raceway for Oktoberfast.
