Not cool, man. Not cool.



But it will get done. I sent the headliner out for reinforcements.

man headliners are such a pain in the ass.

totally. It's giving me such a headache. But now I want to do it to the tii. Shoot me now.








Yesterday I threw on a spare IE stainless exhaust system, on the 72 2002. I'm actually a little sad because these are it's last days with me. It has found another home, allowing me to focus on the handful of other ones I have on my plate, and the others that are on their way.







At idle, the sound didn't change at all. At speed and WOT, the exhaust note is a bit deeper and more aggressive. It's actually quite nice. I like the system. I can't confirm, but the car does feel faster according to the butt dyno. This is one car I'll miss. Everything works on it. And I really do mean everything.

[kronus]

aw man, that was fast. sad to see it go.. hopefully to a good home, though.

[rzerob]

Damn. I didn't even know it was for sale. And I was so excited to see a new update, sad to see it is the last.

[2mAn]

yea it seems the text notifying me that you were selling it didnt come through, hmmm

[phreshkid]

It wasn't for sale!


I was approached by a friend of a friend and he offered a substantial amount and I accepted.


besides, it's staying local. I'm sure you'll see it around. I should probably take this time to focus on the tii and finish the 1600. The tii is the car I really want to put some serious time into. That car deserves it.

Hey guys. I'm the new owner. Spent months finding a dry roundie and sort of stumbled into Ryan's car. You'll definitely see the car around the westside of LA. I'm looking forward to long relationship with her :D

yo dawg. The color is called "Florida Green", an early 1600 and very early 2002 color. Quite uncommon.

Got the headliner fixed and began the test fit. I don't like the wrinkles so I will have to reposition them before the glue down, which will take a few days. I'll take my time and do it right, otherwise I'll hate myself and the headliner and probably never drive the car.






Once the headliner is in, the rest goes in very quickly and then I can drive the car.
