woohoo! I'm excited...

Just ordered my first mods today.

I've been sorta wanting to leave the drivetrain stock until now.

I've chipped away at a few thigns like an OEM front lip, '06 headlights, xbox hooked up to my navi, nice new wider tires for the front and back (potenza S03s and Pilot Sport A/S), plugged in my ipod to the headunit...

that's about it really.

finally picked up a pop-charger ($95 shipped w/ 2K miles) a non-REVUP lower collector ($90 shipped) and trying to get my grubby little paws on either a 5/16" spacer or a crawford plenum at the moment.

I'm gonna take that lower collector and machine out a few parts to make my own personal MREV2. Didn't feel like springing $450 for someone else to do it (though Tony @ Motordyne has an incredible amount of experience).

Anyways, some projects to work on at night while I study for my step 1 boards during the day.

ok back to studying.

Haven't heard from him or seen him in quite some time... the CL forums are a very different world these days (at least last time I looked)
