here's my review (granted i didn't hear it since i watched it at work and my comp is on mute):

for the most part, pretty good. the strange looks at the camera made me giggle. it would have been epically funny if you stalled before leaving the garage and then did the old face palm. i bet your protein intake skyrocketed after all those bugs you probably ate driving without a windshield. the car resembled the knightrider car when it comes up the hill at the end. your camera man is faster than your car, you need nawz.

love the wheels, love the motor work, love the stance, can't wait to see that beast all painted up and pretty. good work brotha .

ok here is huge update.

new subframegetting the car jacked updropping the rear subframedroppedno rear subframe under the cartook the differential outbye bye to open differentialseverythting stripped off the sub frameparts layed outcar without subframecleaning parts upgetting ready to paint them.and here is them bolted up onto the freshly painted subframe and parts

gettign ready to swap out differentials to HLSDparts all laid out in orderchanging the ring gearhere it is in the housing

pianting the read differential housing

and on the subframe

here is waht i had to do to make the energy suspension busings work on my car.the metal slides were to long. so i had to cut about 1/3 an inch offcause when i would botl them down the nusts would bottem out on the them and not allow it to compress the bushings and make them expand and hold the frame in place.

and i got it o nthe car tonightand i found out my fan belt doesnt need to be replaced. the tensioner screw had vibrated almost al lthe way out. and i tightended it up and it is good now.

well that is my big update lol

well i had my clutch stick to the floor. while driving and so i had to drop my transmission. this part fell off when i dropped itright after i dropped itthe broken partdoes any one know waht that part is called that the throw out bearing slides onto^ this part was not lub when the clutch was assembled i think. because the thing not sliding back and forth easily on here was the reason for it breaking. so if any one knows that that part is called and if they are interchange able between the SR and KA it would be great.

here is s pic from going to the meet with my buddies. even thoguth my car couldnt make itstock sti cept for exhaust. and gsx with a butte load of upgrades, just needs retuned.

and a badarse pic of my car

i think the way your exhaust sounds isa direct result of how your motor is running. i have been running into alot of moddified cars that sound like 2 strokes almost. and i think alot of it has to do with tunning. if you havea dead on tune then your exhaust is going to sound alot better.

and i dont mean to brag but i think out of all the cars i have ran into lately my exhuast sounds the best. maybe i ma lucky
