I started by taking my fans out and ****. And I put a hole in my radiator. And it leaked all over and I was pretty pissed. So I called my dad and he said he'll talk to me tommorow about it cause he was asleep and hopefully He'll let me work off a radiator.

So I got a partial sponsership with mishimoto, discount on all products. Get lots of stickers too. haha.
My sites going well, thats why I haven't been on here. Sorry, I know everyone misses me. (JOKING.). But anyways back to the car.
I'll be trading the sportmaxes for a set of enkies soon. Their nice. No hardcore like deep dish, but its better then a damaged *** rim, right?
I got all my wiring issues solved, thanks to my buddy kevin.
I worked today at my dads. He said make a list of what you need. and i did. So I hope he'll get most of the stuff. And He has an extra set of R17 205/50's laying around, BF good Rich I think. So I'm taking my front rims to the shop on monday and i'll get those mounted on. But I still need to find some 245's for the rear. The tires got like 70 percent tread on them. Mine have like negative 30. hahaahaha.
I put a set of newer tires behind his trailer, so if when i get my new rims, the tires blow ****, i'll switch them.
Other than that..Got my intake on. Just to check it out. I had to make a bracket. Cause it didn't come with anything, I'm replacing the hose from the Valve cover to the intake on monday when i get it from the shop. Also Capped off some of my vaccum lines I don't need and completely got rid of one.
Below is the two stock fans...I'm not putting the new ones in until I get my radiator **** solved out.
I took the clutch fan off. Now time for the holder?
Now I have just this..(i put the bolts on it too...)
Throw them vacuum lines!
soooo empty.
Got a ratchet strap holding my coolant hose up..haha.
Intake on..
I made this outta sheet metal, then bent it. Theres an extra hole cause the first time I didn't measure where the hole needs to go..haha

how did you earn a sponsorship?
fyi vac lines are dangerous. Always start your car after removing anything related because it will **** with your idling, etc.

just kidding, I love her. but yeah, Idk. I think Its still gonna be a DD, just like more drift like. haha.
like, since the motor will be out, get rid of all the Hicas lines going to the back. Make a write up on that probably..haha, but yeah, battery to the trunk, no more system, just a head unit and speakers. Possibly no backseats, trunk carpet, and trunk interior, but not sure because when its out, the whole car smells like mildew. ROFL.
