I'll settle for rice burner, my old integra was far from being a "ricer". Atleast the header hanging next to it is off a ranger.

I found out over the last couple days of rain I have a leaky seal. It looks like crap too. It had a little over tablespon of standing water in it, I rolled the water around all the seams and couldn't find a leak. So I drained the water the best I could.


After about an hour off and on with my wifes blow dryer I got all the moisture out of it. Besides some water spot on the inside it looks like new again. (which I can over look)


I covered all the seams in sealant eproxy to hopefully seal the leak.

Finally got me some SVT to put in the mix. I was hoping to get it on tonight if it ever stops raining.

Been gone for a while, here's a few updates.

^^Got the HVAC controls in a while ago.




I bought a shorty antenna.



Then swapped out my factory air box for a cone filter to help out the oxygen getting to the motor.





My current project.


I have this.



I want it to look like this.


Ok this is what it looks like without the bottom grill.





I ordered a new SVT lower grille and a regular lower grille and fogs. I got the fogs and the SVT in, the regular will be here monday.

Yeah I know it's been a while...

BUMP!!! - Car's coming along nicely man. I've been itching for a Focus lately. Only way to do that would be to get rid of the Ranger....So in other words, I'm waiting until I can have both!
