Heading out to PBIR tomorrow night for the Bizspeed event. Unfortunately, the car is not ready to race but I figure it's time to introduce her to the public.

Don't forget my offer still stands on the badging

Just made it through 16 pages. Subscribed on the first post. I must say. Crazy amounts of workmanship went into this car. I'm excited to see the end result.

Not racing it this time.

Wish I was but I still have break in and tuning to complete. I am also in desperate need of a transmission rebuild which will probably take place within the next 2 months. The engine runs great but transmission sounds and feel like it has a few hundred thousand miles on it. However, thanks for the good luck, I'll do my best to keep it between the lines on the way to the track.

^Would love to see video of people's facial expressions when hearing you roll in or pop the hood on it!

I had it in the show so the hood was popped all night. Most people walked about 2 feet past it before realizing what was going on. It was so entertaining I almost want to keep it completely stock on the outside. One of my friend is trying to talk me into having my stock rear rims widened.

That would be sneaky! Hope you take it on Power Tour when you are done!

^^Meh, I'd still rock some nice wheels while being lowered. Just keep the body stock with "stock looking" exhaust tips.

Reminds me of what I had done to my boosted Civic; completely stock body VX hatchback, just lowered on Buddy Clubs with TSW wheels. Flat blacked the I/C and had a flat black Vibrant muffler too! The only thing different from my Civic vs another was the flex fuel badge! Oh, and the 400whp too! LOL
