BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

Haven't been spending a lot of money on it lately with saving the 2012's down payment and whatever, but been doing stuff and things regardless. Removed the clear corners and replaced them with nightshaded stock corners and have to say its improved the look of the whole car. Also with an Amazon gift card birthday present I bought the remaining hardware for the CarPC, its assembled and is awaiting testing.

The big semi-annual Daytona meet was this weekend and in between drinking, beaching, and looking sexy I managed to grab a shot or two.

To-do (red=completed)
-Swap in nightshaded stock bumper lenses to replace the hideous smoked/clear ones.
-Get new CarPC hardware assembled and installed.
-Do something with the trunk.
-Valve cover breather catch-can
-PCV inline catch-can
-Buy and install HID kit

Anyways, I really liked this shot:



Thanks.

Been neglecting the car lately as I just picked up a new one (http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=258235) but last Saturday was the monthly autocross! Car legitamately freaked me out pulling into traffic, surprising how immediately fast it is compared to the new car...

Car performed BEAUTIFULLY, fastest in my class by over a second, fastest FWD, 14th fastest overall time (.3 second faster than a Lotus Elise ), and just an all around good day.

There was a professional photographer there too, snatched a few proofs off his website until I receive the real ones

That's a 3-wheel if I ever saw one








An ugly 3-wheel getting eclipsed by the other tire sadly.

Thanks for looking!

Nice man, go big or go home.

True story! I just checked the season points and I'm on 3 points off first place! Not too shabby considering I missed 3 events...
