Haven't updated this in a bit, so here are a few new pics. I kinda wanted a Spoon theme car since I have always loved the way they do slight things to factory cars.
My stock valve cover was in pretty rough shape. I wiped some oil off of it and the coating just flaked off so I picked up a new red cover and refurbished my stock AP2 coil cover. I also installed a new set of plugs, valve cover gasket kit and adjusted the valves. Doing the valves really helped out with the idle and overall performance... my car only has about 77k miles on it right now but I assume the maintenance like this was never done. At least not regularly.
New cover and refurbished plug cover.
I stopped by ICB Motorsports a couple of weeks ago and picked up one of the J-Blood/ICB carbon/kevlar coil pack covers and had my old VC coated in yellow. Not sure when I'll put this on, but it looks nice sitting in my office.
I also stopped by JHP and hung out with those guys for a bit and picked up a new Personal wheel from them. I had to get rid of that tiny ass Nardi Classic... Also got a Checkerd Sports aluminum knob from Raul at the Chronicles Year 7 meet. Cool dude for sure.
As it sits now:
I'll likely be selling the Spoon wheels soon. I love the way they look I just wish they were lighter, and cleaning them suucckksssss.
