    I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

      Over the past couple days ive been working on installing 3000k HIDs in the fog lamps. It was no bolt in affair with the Hella 500 (or whatever they are) but theyre in there and they work. Found a cleaver place to put the slim ballasts.

      Also fixed more of Nick's bull**** wiring on the turn signal.

      To-do when I return form Florida:
      Fix wiring on driver turn signal
      Figure out why LED brake light in spoiler isn't working.
      Paint valve cover again.

          Speaking of a dead thread....

          I started replacing the dash about 2 months ago. Today I resumed working on the interior and will finish getting the dash, radio and center console in tomorrow. I still need to go get the forward section of the center console from a j/y since I forgot to grab it out there last time.

          The Skuce manifold cracked (most likely a LEAN issue generating more than average amounts of heat.....damn fuel pump) and I finally got around to having it repaired. It is out to Jet-HOT for the Jet_HOT coating to help protect the manifold from the extreme heat in the future. I opted in for the dual layer coating (inside and out).

          I found a set of mx3 control arms in the back room which I forgot about. There is no reasonable time frame I can guess when they will make it onto the car.

          I also found a GTR intake manifold on a shelf waiting to go on the car.
          The manifold should go on when I have the 3" stainless exhaust made since I will need to re-tune anyways.

          Also picked up a 3" straight through resonator which I will use for a muffler for decent price.

          Note gauges also pictured. Previous owner cut off clear gauge lens for some reason and taped it back on for some reason beyond me. I think that may have been the rattle which I have never been able to find. I used some good old fashioned JB weld and it is solid now.

          I just noticed the cats were playing or something in the background when I took the last photo.

                  Technically, its not a muffler. I wanted a non-fart can straight through muffler.
                  What I will be using is a high-flow resonator which a couple people I k now here are using.

                      Hey Nate, make sure your exhaust is braced to the back of the block. A lot of aftermarket manifolds crack due to this lack of bracing and heating/cooling of the welds.

                        I will be extra sure to make sure it will be braced to the back side. I will be having a custom 3" exhaust made in the very near future so that will be a priority of mine. I was going to have it brace to the front but I am not sure if there will be enough room.

                          Continued working on the dash.
                          Found myself doing things out of order and needing to take them back apart. I guess that is what I get for waiting so long...
                          Gauges, trim, switches, random wiring center dash all put in. Need to figure out what to do with the radio since im going back to the stock dash. The mx3 dash did not fit as well as I hoped in places and looked unfinished.
                          Steering column mounted and I need to see if I like the height. The MSP seats are a couple/few inches taller than the mx3 seats so the wheel needed to be adjusted again.

                          I guess I'll work on it more tomorrow.

                          Jet-HOT called and the manifold is on its way home.
