No reason a person can't have a clean fast DD and a clean fast weekend car :) I say keep it! ...and trade interiors with me ;)

Little bit of progress today! Yanked out the dead slimline fans and managed to squeeze in one of the stock fans (tested to work!) in, figured it'd be better than nothing. Also took the driver's side fender off to see wtf was up with the door. Found a nice big break in between the two bolts of the lower door hinge.

Called TKR and asked him if he could do some quick welding on a sunday. Thankfully, he obliged!

Hughes contemplating the idea of owning a 1G again:

After a little adjustment, door shuts *perfectly* now!!

Bent out the fender and temporarily re-attached it. The car is looking straight again, but the fender still needs a bit of work on the bottom. Another day for that:

We also had hooked up a basic MBC from DB Performance, the car had an Apexi AVC-R which made boost totally irratic, I've been telling my brother to get rid of the thing for years now. Finally the car pulls 18psi from boost onset to redline, no muss, no fuss. If only my evo were this easy!

Got home and the car started overheating, the fan was not coming on for some reason. But it was cool enough out today to cruise around a little!

Not a bad 1G at all! When you sell it I think it will make someone very happy :)
