Haha me either man, its been a long process to get to this point and still a ways to go. Its been even tougher now that I have a son and have went back to school full time on top of working 24-27hrs a week. Doesn't leave a whole lot of time to do car stuff.

Forgot to post this:
10/20/10: Buddy of mine called me up looking to make some cash. He had an AEM Uego wideband he was trying to sell. I have been in the market for one for a while now, just waiting on a good enough deal to pop up. Finally one did so I bought it.

10/24/10: Today I decided to clean up the engine bay a little bit more. You know those over priced "dress up bolts" that companies sell for 80+ dollars? Well I decided to do my own for less then $10. Heres what you need to buy from Lowes
#12 Finish Washers
m6x1.00 16 bolts for the fenders/hood
m6x1.00 20 bolts for the headlights and bumper

Haha no havent put it on yet, I barely have time to do much of anything let alone put a front end on haha. I do have an update though and to me its a pretty big one...
10/25/10: After a heated exchange of words between me and a company and a few members of various forums, over the bolts i bought and installed, I did something about it to shut them up. I had talked to the owner of a company called Moddiction a few months back, he was starting to get his business off the ground and needed some help with sizing bolts and needing to know how many would be required for each chassis's engine bay. Well last night after my 2hr e-battle with the other guys, I hit the owner of Moddiction up just to see how business was going ect.. We start talking about my e-battle and discuss the possibility of him providing me with some of his Titanium Bolts/Washers in exchange for me helping to get his name out there. After a short while we come to an agreement and I have my 2nd sponsorship. While they aren't huge sponsorships, they are greatly appriciated.
Check out www.moddiction.com they specialize in weighted shift knobs and titanium bolts. Should you buy something just tell him that guy_from_nerk or Josh Moore sent you, just so he can see that I am holding up my end of the deal.

Thanks man!! Got another update
10/29/10: I figured I might as well buy my downpipe while Tony@fab-worx had my manifold, so I went ahead and ordered that. I am going to be running the downpipe out of the front bumper, on the driver side, in front of the tire. I know it has been done before by others, but I love the way it looks and sounds.

I got em for free....sponsorship. I don't know how much they run for a whole kit, best bet is to email Ryan from Moddiction.com and find out. Let him know how many you need, tell him that Josh Moore sent you too

11/17/10: Well today my turbo manifold finally arrives. I have had a pretty shitty time getting this, but its finally here and looks good. My downpipe was supposed to arrive today as well but it unfortunately is MIA. FabWorx is supposedly trying to figure out whats going on, I won't go into details in my build thread, but right now I am not a very happy man. Anyways heres a pic of the manifold
