Hey,

These are just a few picture I have snapped while working on Mandy over the past few weeks. Figured someone might wanna check em out :)

I still have my 2ga Talon skirts to go on and the 2gb Talon spoiler.

Also, I have EDM tail lights on the way :)

Zac wired my fogs. He wired them so with the factory switch on they turn on and off with the car, kinda like DRL's. If I turn the factory switch off, they go off.:


New door, fender, and hood strut kit installed the azdave way:


And quick pic of my new wheels:


This one Zac took when it was dyno'd with the old wheels:

I always liked Mandy.

Damn, that engine bay is tits, great cleanup job.

Is your hood props, the hatch struts.

Very nice. I like the old wheels too, what are you doing with them? ;)

BTW, how do you like that AEM V2? Im bidding on one on ebay for under 100. Does it sound good?

Sold them to adamzty. They are 16" Rota Slipstreams though.

The V2 is awesome! I had mine powder coated black though. Got AEM to send me the stickers for it :)

Man I wish I could have been there when Tim bought that. I heard it was a laugh and then some. I bet he'll never buy another part with his sunglasses on ever again LOL

Tim never took his sunglasses off to see said valve cover in his marginally retard impulse purchase and didn't realize how pink it actually was until he saw the pic on my camera phone. i spent the rest of the weekend almost offended at its pinkness and almost shear disregard and flagrant mockery of all things manly and awesome, and literally said out loud a few times "jesus christ that thing is pink..."

LOL. Dude, Coballs interior was glowing pink on the way home. My room glows pink. I cant decide whether to put the obnoxiously pink VC on, or the black one I had I just had PC'd on the car. In Dino's words: Someone won a bet because Tim bought that thing.

Mandy is sweet Tim, but I gotta admit, I also like the old rims better..

Thanks man!

Its still not clean enough, but thats one of my big goals for the car. Super clean.

Its super fun to drive, handles better than a Porsche, and looks great. All I could want!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I like that hood strut setup you got....was it hard to do?

You need to update your tire/wheel thread, Tim.

Are those Kosei's, looks good.

Nope!

Took about a hour. Although instead of the hood brackets I used 10mm balls from McMaster Carr, and bolted on the bottom mounts instead of rivets.

What kind of strut tower brace is that?
