Well I guess it's out now haha, that picture isn't the best view to show off the car so I'll post some better ones later on.

Unfortunately we had a lot less time to put this car together versus the other, six weeks total, versus a few more the first go-around. With the time we had, there really was no way to get a Japanese spec front here or anything else worthwhile (since there really wasn't much out when we got it) here in time for paint... and obviously we didn't want to order stuff to have it sit on a container on the way here to only go and miss the our deadline.

Anyways, UrbanRacer.com is doing another preview on it tomorrow with some better pictures... till then.

I've been talking to you over e-mails about the leather, hopefully there are some nice pictures.

Too bad... would had looked really good with the JDM swap if you could have done it in time...

Thumbs up

the gene, nice job with the car.. Love the leather seats, and sunroof.

Woulda been nice to see the JDM conversion too but impossible due to time constraints.

I'm not sure you have the same person, I haven't been talking to anyone about it... at least not what I can remember.

I have a few thousand dollars into it so far, and no engine mods just yet, no time to do anything worthwhile again so I just skipped it to get the car done in time.


... and as promised, the Urban Racer article with more pics.

I kinda get the Prius comment - especially with the color.

If you're going for Honda hi-performance look, gotta go with white, white, white - with nice red touches to set it all off.

But that's just me - I a LITTLE biased

Seriously, it's going to be fun the next few months to see what people with some $$ can do with the car. Too bad I'm running out of $$ to do things with my car!!

It's a love it or hate it color just like everything else we've done in the past; we just like doing things a little different compared to the way it's usually done.

car looks amazing. went to your website and checked out your pontiac and colbot. never liked GM but dayum those cars are hot and they are priced to move. did you sell those yet?

engine mods. given time what would you do if you have 1k to throw into the car.
