Whats up guys, I had a project work log on the old site but we all know what happened with that.

The first zx2 I ever drove, it was kristins car she pulled out in front of a chevy impala and totaled it.

Installed my old Pioneer Cd player in the scort, its prob 5 years old now and my little brother has it in his zx2.

I bought some swirliees for about 60 bucks and threw some good tires on there

Added the Iceman + KnN drop in.

Somewhere in this period of time I added a '00 S/R shift knob

@ some point I decided to try the wheel skins cover it sucked, I also added the alpine head unit with iPod control, this is a great head unit I love it.

Added a leather wrapped wheel with hopes of making the cruise work but not luck thus far, you can also see the S/R knob and my truck shifter.

Got sick of the swirliees so I picked up some rota slipstreams

Cleaned the thing up a bit painted the drums a neutral color again.

I would, or have someone else do it, but being it's a DD makes it kind of hard to get the wheels done before dark. And besides, I usually suck at painting. lol Get in too much of a hurry, or have runs, etc.......blah. lol

I hate the interior color I had to add the dk charcoal peices to break up the sold blue. I'm gonna try to do a dk charcoal swap this summer if I can get what I need for a good price.

How does $100 sound for the whole swap? Come down this weekend and that's what it SHOULD be, no more expensive. *Secret* There is a car at the j/y with the charcoal interior from a 2001, and last time I pulled the whole interior, it was only $11 but I know the guy. They rid of cars fast though, so this is probably it's last weekend.
