ha not yet i still have a whole bunch of parts to install next time im home ill be installing the ported mani tb spacer and get the Maf inside an airbox. then ill get the trunk done.

the thing about the seats is i have to make a way to mount them i thought i would have access to a plasma cutter and nice welder in school but they did not offer the class i needed to take. so those are on hold
