Haha thanks Swervo!Well I haven't posted in this thread since I left the states before it started, but now that I'm coming back in 2 months I'll start posting. Anyway, after drooling over SunnyD's thread, I decided to buy a bunch of stuff from Jay@hypermotive. I can't wait to install them when I get back.
Also, where is your follow-on going to be at?
Can't wait to see "Swervo's build thread 2.0" haha

Photobucket FTWProbably, but I don't use the app. I use Safari to surf, and the photobucket app to upload pics. So for me, the pics look tiny. Mine are normal-

Stopped by the local, friendly, speed/race shop, and ordered some suspension goodies. I ordered BMR springs and Koni shocks, along with their adj. panhard bar and relocation brackets. I already have Steeda lower control arms. Once the parts come in and depending on work, they will get it all installed for me. Can't wait.

Got to work tonight installing all my parts. I was in a hurry to get it ready to rip for tomorrow, so I didn't snap many photo's along the way.
No complaints at all with the Cervinis hood, fit's really well. Needs a bit more adjusting, but I'll let the body shop do that when it goes in for paint.

Then I went ahead and changed the oil with Amsoil 5w30 Signature Series. Not cheap, but well worth it!

Front & Rear - Strange 10 way adjustables & BMR springs, GT500 strut mounts, Removed camber bolts and instead slotted the upper holes a bit on the struts

And I got the K&N breathers installed. Instead of modifying the passenger side port, I just went and bought another driver's side port to put in.

Installed my BMR rad support & sway bar delete, I was shocked how heavy the factory rad support was, plus the sway bar. (didn't get photos..)
Got a few more things to do yet, my Odyssey battery being one of them. But this is where I'm at as of tonight.

Yeah. We will see.
Regardless, I've actually come to be extremely unimpressed with these rims and hence doing them at all.
They are chipped, scraped and look awful in person. 2-3 months if that of driving and they look this way. Had RTRs driving the same roads from April to November of last year and looked flawless.
Don't think I'll be buying avant garde again.
