Default Some pics taken at a friend's shop

My screen on my digi is busted so I cannot accurately adjust the settings without guessing. I have the exposure set too long so every pic I take will be blurry w/o a tripod. Anyways, enough with the excuses and on with the pics. Here are some quick ones I took of my dirty *** car in front of my friend's shop in Santa Ana (SR Motorcars).

With the good ol' Work's

Finally my friend's drift monster. He completely stripped the car, spot welded everything he could, custom cage, etc..... so much work and money put into this car, you'd have to see it in person to appreciate it...

holy crap is that steves car? I talked to him today and he told me to come by and check it out.
i was wondering why the shop looked so familiar.

did you finally get your technospeeds on or are they no longer yours? They look real good on the car (by that i mean the polished lip against the black since your pictures arent the best)
Hit me up john i havent talked to you in the foreverest.

Ron - Yup, thats Steve shop, funny how you know him.. small world I guess. As for the technospeed's, they are Steve's now and that 1JZ VVTi is mine.

sc.Fred - A lot of bites, but no real buyers so I figure I'll just end up going with my original plan and swapping the motor. Here's a rear view pic of the exhaust, its a little angled, but more straight out than anything.
