sorry karo been busy with school... taking 24 hrs this semester... I'm trying to fix my misfire code first, changing my plugs this week to see if it'll solve the problem since its with blank 1 & 2 only. Projects are on the back burner right now untill maybe October when I have some time off for my brothers wedding and extra days off of work. Funny thing is that when I clear my code the car runs really rich burning a lot more fuel but after a couple of days the CEL comes on and the car doesnt burn as much fuel and runs like it did before I had my misfire/rich code. So once I can fix that I'll throw the intake on. Sorry for the delays guys, school is more important than car stuff right now but I'll get on it as soon as I can.

Man! Twenty four hours! What are you taking? Hopefully you'll be able to come up for air soon and finish your hood ducts (or did I miss where you did finish?) Good luck on your remaining exams.

With school winding down... Thank God! I'm plan on redoing some things on my car, mainly different coilovers and wheels hehe... So I'll know by next week if I'll be selling my coilovers sooner than later. Got a walmart gift card from my work so I'm seeing if I can trade it in for a Visa gift card and use it towards the purchase of new coilovers. So I'm thinking I'll be selling my teins for 650 shipped. Inquires welcomed of course lol Also wheels will be up for grabs after the new year hopefully just depends how long it'll take for the custom wheels to be built. Will sell the wheels and tires for around 1500 plus shippinig. I'll have them posted in the classified soon.

Just thought I'd update whats been going on in my crazy head besides all the school work haha

AND YES I KNOW I KNOW..... GET TO THE INTAKE INSTALL... Maybe over this thanksgiving break I can get it on and have pics taken.

So BC Racing contacted me and said it'll be 2-3 weeks to get the coilovers delievered since they are out of stock and needs to be build. So I have to toss on my OEM suspsension so a3i can get his Teins. It'll be weird riding stock height again, but it'll be good for the winter. Friend said to by some glossy black paint and he'll do my roof for free. I'm contemplating it. Maybe before I go down to houston he can paint it.
