Default mikey's nfr queen build thread

so i have decided to document my build(s) to share with you folks, like many of you have already graciously shared, as well as inspired others such as me. i currently own two s' and hopefully i don't get my thread all confused but i will try my best, and please bare with me.

**first comes shout outs: biggest help and inspiration is bouford , others include s2kichad, bboy5, integraxtr, cheehee, tofu and the rest of the s2k hawaii family. i'd also like to shout out to the other guys on here with such awesome builds. other big shout out's go to tommy & aaron at gotuning, and tony, dennis, & the evasive gang.

now onto my build(s). please excuse the pictures, as they are not by any means professional in many ways.

December 2009 - picked up my my first s which is currently my garage queen.
