I'm back. Mucho Pics. Spring cleaning
 
Well I just got finished up with Finals yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. I haven't had too much extra time to spend around here, but that's all over. I've added a few minor mods to the car, which include HID's and moving the battery to the trunk. Everything went pretty smooth, and I think it looks pretty good.

I spent about 4 hours today washing, claying, and waxing the car. It recieved a full detail inside and out. Here are ALOT of pics. Sorry for the #, but it's been awhile. [8D]

P.S. The "daytime" pics are after the wax. The nighttime pics from the car wash are just for sh!ts and giggles.

That car looks like it could reach a great deal of speed in a short distance, giving it great veloctiy, am I correct in my judgment?

RE: I'm back. Mucho Pics. Spring cleaning
 
Thanks alot guys. I've been working part-time at a carwash, so she's been kept VERY clean the last few months(Free carwashes 24/7 FTW!). I live at an apartment complex, so before, washes were few and far between not to mention expensive.

The whole deal of moving the battery to the back is viewed VERY stupid to some people, and VERY important to others. It takes 50-75lbs off the extreme nose of the car, and puts back most of that weight(you loose the stock battery tray) on the extreme tail of the car. It makes a huge difference when comparing weight ratio's of the front and rear axles(not really axles, but you know what I mean). I spent over $100 for all the materials, and to me it was money well spent. You guys might think that's a stupid way to blow $100, but I guess both sides have compelling arguments.

It'll hold it's own. It's not even the fastest 2v that I see around(track wise). It has a long way to go before I'm happy with 'er.

Well I glad you like them. It confuses some people, and it makes some people think I'm an idiot that doesn't know what engine I have. [8D]

Completely DIY, no doubt. Go to your local car audio shop and get 15-18ft of 0 gauge wire, 5ft of 2 gauge, A fuseable link, a distribution block, and a couple new battery terminals. The battery box can be found at Summit, and maybe your local performance shop. The hardest part was running the cable. It took us ~3 hours, and some of that was messing with the HID's.
