Passanger Rear Interior Panel:
I'm not going for all out top-end speed, or drifting, etc., yet, but more of a daily driver and every-so-often a race or two, so I'm throwing in some car audio.

Honestly I miss this Sub, it was a FREAKING BEAST, however I did have it installed in a box WAY to small for this sub, the box was 1.25 cu. ft. air space!!! To make this sub work suffeciently, I would need a box the size of the entire hatch area!!!

Its been a very freaking long time since I was last on here!!!
Since then I've worked on my car quite a bit more, its running perfectly, legal with tags (funny story about inspection!) and I'm driving it! YEAH
Anyways I got a few things to update!
1) I re-uploaded all my pictures back to my site, took them down for awhile! so all pictures work again!
2)still have a crappy spray paint job, at least its not primer gray, its black!
3) My inspection went off with hardly no problems. It over heated, but a few minutes of cooling it was good again, and also the TPS was set wrong.
OK now a short story...
Getting my car inspected, the guy inspecting it popped the hood, and eyed it, He looked for a place to put the sparkplug thing or whatever it is. I told him that it is a custom motor, and that I use coil-over-plug ignition system. He got inside and after about 10 minutes of moving a sensor or something around the inside, he finally started to inspect the car.
Had a few minor problems, TPS was messed up, so rpm's was up and down, anyways, 20-30 minutes later, he said that he was done, and waiting for the pass or fail window to come up. After a long eternal 30 seconds, a note poped up saying that the motor passed! The inspection guy couldn't believe the motor passed. I nearly had a heart attack!!! I was smiling ear from ear.
Yes passed, we did not do anything to the timing or anything, it passed by itself!
Oh by the way, right after the inspection was done with, it started pouring rain!
ok now to the updates that are more current!
Picture of my Right Wheel and Side:
Yeah I know its dirty, it had rained the night before!
180sx Seats installed with Auto Power 4 point Race Harness:
Relocated Optima Yellow Top Battery in Hatch:
note: the small red wire is power for my gauges, not my entire car!
Yes I know its a getto rigged install, but I couldn't get my battery box to fit, so I had to do that temporary.

Engine 2:
Front End with my Greddy M-Spec FMIC:
I know its crooked, the cold pipe was modified and cut 1" to far!
Its my nice coolant leak, Rear heater hose on motor side!

Wheels and Tire Info:

Safety 21 4 Point Roll Cage:

Weighs about 20-25 pounds, its super light weight, 1-1/2" tubing
Circuit Sports Mini Oil Catch Can:
Thats it for now for the updated progress, I'm going to be ordering parts like crazy in the next week or two, so I can get my car painted, in about 3 weeks.
I'm pulling the motor, everything in the engine bay, all the interior, the dash the seats, the hatch stuff, EVERYTHING, getting the windows removed, and then get the car painted, then get my new windows, get the put in, and install everything.
Not for sure how much HP I have, but I'm going to say anywhere between 225-235hp, I havn't dyno'ed it yet, I'm doing it after I get a paint Job and car back on the road.
