ever seen the fast and the furious or XXX. the scenes where there's a whole warehouse sitting in front of a stripped car and the actor says "i want all of this.......in here!" ?

yeah i could ship some boxes to you........they would definately be empty though.

funny thing is that out of all of this stuff i have none of the boxes have labels on them other than the shipping slips??


looks pretty sweet layed out across the shop floor though.

9 days and i still have to put it all together......i don't know about this.

i told all of you, it isn't that big of a deal.....


just a few minor changes here and there. heck, you won't even notice much from the outside if it weren't for the 18" 275/295 front and rear combo with the 4" exhaust!

the baer kit sure looks nice behind those big wheels though.

Is it almost done?

4" exhaust

Did you use a mufflex system? Someone told me that they have a 3 1/2" too that i was thinking about looking into.....but right now i cant justify the cost to make the jump from 3 to 3 1/2"

it was nice to finally meet you. the pics you have up here dont do the new engine justice. That new v-tec is awesome!!! sorry about jinxing you about the trans lol.

Guys this car is so beautiful, the enginebay is immaculate, the new engine w/valvecovers (ones that arent centerbolt!!!!) is awesome. there were a few other Thirdgens @ autorama but none as pretty as Kandied's however there was a black Camaro with a 454 and that was impressive but not half as pretty!!!

great job Kandied, the 13 bucks wa sworth it just to see your car!!

ha ha...................

i don't have a digital camera, what don't you understand about that, have to get the film developed. should be shortly just like i told you. the picture above isn't mine.

and no, i'm not in a hurry to sell them;i have certain things that need to be done first. not to be rude, but what's with the attitude? i've got alot going on like i told you; i'll get them up here shortly. they are on my top priority....that and sleeping after the hectic month.

down right disappointed.


some of you are making to big of a deal with this, you won't notice anything external except for the wheels and brakes. everything went into the driveline, under the car, and under the hood.

89rsIMPRTETR, you do what you have to do. i understand your situation; hopefully i'll have something within a day. i'm going out to buy a digital camera tonight hopefully.
