sullivan · Post by **sullivan** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 9:54 pm

doo ittt! i urge you lol.. i drove a stock 2000 5spd...(actually my teachers) and i fell inlove, also my atx shitted out already so i located the parts n got em. along with the 5spd swap, my hood and trunk are being painted gloss black, engine bay is being re-organized as well as the theme updated, all trays and brackets are being sandblasted tommorow, and either painted or pc'd

ive been kinda being lazy with the car when it comes to the engine bay, but ive decided its time to spruce it up within reason

ATX does suck. My 01 was sooo slow. It only felt kind of quick from 30-60, then it fell flat on its face.

You will love the MTX man! Great work.

For someone with no monies you make decent progress lol

sullivan · Post by **sullivan** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 7:12 pm

im just very resourceful...all the paint and prep was done by me..infact everything done on the car was done by me which cuts down on alot of cost. but i have a job interview on friday, 16 bucks an hour and im prettty much garunteed the job already so im pumped!.....

also how do you all feel about a stock purple and gold theme under the hood?

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 7:38 pm

I know how that goes, I do almost all of my own work.

I think that would look badass.

Good job so far, Sullivan. You've inspired me to get my ass in gear! Can't wait to see what you are going to do next. And get that trunk fixed pronto! It looked sick!
