Looks like it's coming along great. Where did you get the seats? Are they legit or knockoff? If they are knockoff, they look amazing. If they are legit, baller.

I cant remember the company I ordered them from, i think it was battleground out of CA, they are actually canadian reps, but look almost 100% real. The real brides were a little too pricey, but these seats have actually exceeded my expectation, they are extremely solid, the backs have no play at all, and the material is awesome. Also, i checked out your build thread and it looks good! seems like you have horrible luck though

Ha, yea. I have never thought of myself as lucky. s*** always happens to me. Even when I pay the big bucks to have it professionally done, things don't fall into place. Thanks for checking out my build.

Do you remember what you paid for those seats? I wouldn't mind getting a pair for my new hatch. I'll try and find that that "battleground".

I almost always try to do the stuff myself what i can just so i know what has been done, because you never know how the other person did it, when you know you put your 100% into what you do. PM me with your number i think i still have the page save I'll send you a link to the seats. The only thing that I hate is how expensive the mounting brackets are

Okay so question for everyoe... im more than likely painting the car black cherry (black with red flake)... should i leave the stock body with the vented hood or go type-x or what? i feel like the type-x is too overused, but dont want to ruin the look of the stock piggy with a kit... at the same time i feel like a kit would add some aggressivenes.. decisions decisions please help lol

Well, you could keep the piggy front, and just give it a lip - then do type-x gear from there back, like skirts rear valences and wing. I don't recall having seen it done, and I bet it'd look pretty slick

I may look into that, thanks for the suggestion... anyone got a lip for the pig front?

Thanks man! guys... now im second guessing myself on the paint color... you guys want to help and throw out a few options? or just leave it red???

Got the engine up on the stand to pull the head off this week, and see what the cylinders look like

And needless to say need to swap tires again

UPDATE!! Finally got around to pulling the head off and I'm pleasantly surprised with how good everything looks like on the internals side of the engine. Of course the pistons and rods and whatnot don't really matter, since I'm going aftermarket, but nonetheless they look good! But I am really happy to see that there is no scoring on the cylinder walls and no discoloration on the top of the bottom end from overheating. Plus, the valves and pistons are extremely clean, the letters and markings on them are still visible, no carbon buildup, and the head gasket and everything were in pretty decent shape! Probably have to go oversized valves for the tomei cams? Need to do some more research. Here's some pics:
