    Lets make this a sticky and everyone can use it to post some pics/explain what they did to there ride for the day!

    For me... I took the front driver side tire off to try to get all the nasty black stuff off the rims and the rust/gunk built up on the inside of the wheels. I cleaned up the Brembo logo and all the gold around it to make it look pretty and remounted the tire/rim. I am going to do 1 side a day since I am on a 4 day weekend and cant drive the car anyways... I then took the rear fin off and cleaned all the dirt and grim underneath it and touched up some of the paint put everything back on and Decided to slap a few stickers on the back window... and I sat around wishing my car ran...

    I only snapped one picture though with my Phone...

    After 10 years of owning the car I finally upgraded the front speakers.

    Even if I can't drive it I can at least sit in the garage and enjoy the stereo.

    Mine is the carport entertainment system. DVD, 26" screen, surround sound and something to numb the pain.

    walked by mine when I got home from Florida and wiped some dust off. Got a FMIC coming soon, pretty stoked about that although it will delay her running even longer

    Waiting for a turbo. I switched back to a non-rotated setup.

    Have the coupe now to play with so the daily driver can be dialed back.

    400whp should be enough to get me back and forth to work each day.

    Yeah, I gotta find a cheap way to do that though. I think the front needs to drop about another 1.5 inches. SOMEONE SELL ME THEIR COILOVERS FOR REALLY CHEAP!

    @Raziel: that spray job looks good. Did you sand it down and primer it?

    No, it didn't get the mark off my hood. I'm thinking maybe a rubbing compound will.....

    It is either tar or tree sap. It almost looks as if it was smeared on. I will try to post a picture of it today.
