Yea looks like the piston seals are junk.  Awesome ebay parts...

Quick scrolling through and saw this and thought the classic wibimmers compression test. At least it's nothing major.

"not yet"

I promise I won’t need it lol

If I blow up said motor, I buy another for $300. Cheap motor, cheap fun. I dont see a problem with that.

Finally painted the roof rack after a few drinky poos at about 3am on Friday night, outside, in the dark. It turned out okay but I obviously missed a few spots. Changed the whole appearance of the car though.

Its crazy how many people have mixed opinions on the roof rack. It makes the car a total conversation piece now. 

I also installed the ASD handbrake from @KaiserRolls and what a difference!! Compared to the ebay lever it locks up the wheels perfectly even with the sticky Potenzas on there.

Thinking about graphics or livery to make the car appear more "phuturistic" and this is what I was thinking, black on black or something similar. Do you guys have any thoughts or suggestions?

Sweet action!  I like it.

Needs more fender exit exhaust on a cut out

I have been pondering this for awhile now. I was thinking straight out the rear in the middle, or on the side above the rockers on the rear quarter.

I really like the side exit above the rockers, that'd look sweet. Also, shooting fireballs would be cool.

Thats a whole other culture. I dont think I want to go that route. 

[patsbimmer1]

Just the bosozoku exhaust style.  Not the whole shebang!

[GunMetalGrey]

I really dig those graphics, I also love the matte/satin black on the gloss black. Subtle but just right. 
Maybe add some bright green pin striping to critical areas?

[The Full Banana]

Very nice. That's the best part so far. Do it!

You guys convinced me, it looks like I have some vinyl to start cutting.

Oh. Yeah I am not opposed to something like that, but I want to try and keep the rear of the car free of anything important. That way if I hit a wall, I can keep going(hopefully) 

I also am buying earls old centerlines and selling mine. Most likely going on this car. I shittily photoshopped them on above.
