hahaha nah man, it didnt exactly happen overnight, i got the car in late May, and the complete pictures were taken within the last couple of days..so thats a good 5 months. however, I wont lie, I did spend a good amount of money (a few grand) with all the parts and whatever, but thats technically what I would have been spending on the monthly payment If I kept the evo. So it works out. Replacement/Used parts are plentiful for the integra, especially in SoCal, so that helped a great deal also.

The car also sat at my friend's place for almost all of August while he rewired the alarm, did his security tricks, and installed the foglights. Aside from the help i got from my GF during the initial carpet cleaning and my friend doing the alarm/etc work...there's no other "group of guys" helping me out. i wish there were though...working on cars alone is teh suck.
