Goodbye LT1, hello rice FTW

So I sold my piece of **** LT1 and got a REAL car. Been saving up for a badass Honda like this a long time.

Gotcha.

Got into a little mischief and mayhem.

After (super teaser cell phone pics):

Care to elaborate?

I can't really talk smack about the rice, I got an 03 Eclipse GS A4 4 banger with a short ram intake (yes, I bought that when I was 14) as my winter beater

lol, cell phone pics came out even worse than I expected, but that just makes them even super teas-ier.

We cut out basically the whole front end of my car to the frame horns. The new radiator support is just about done and will be finished early tomorrow along with a new bumper support. Let's just say we hacked off a LOT more than usual... yes it will be good ;] I'll be sure to go into more detail when I get some better pics.

That was a joke, I didn't buy a Honda

The "Gotcha" was supposed to indicate that, lol. I do need a beater though...

I keep forgetting my scale, but I'll be weighing everything we took off today.

Mostly we did that for cooling and aesthetics, but I definitely want to boost it eventually. No reason not to with all the room we have now
