The car seat cost me $245 shipped from Amazon. I could have gone for an ugly colour for like $212 plus shipping though. In doing some research it looks like Recaro and Britax car seats are the best. Britax is more expensive and they don't match the Evo.

I figured $245 wasn't a big expense so long as I can get 5-8 years out of it. I think it's roughly twice the price of some of the cheaper ones you can get at target.

Well...then that ain't too bad at all, actually sounds like a pretty good deal considering the money you could be saving by not having to keep buying bigger seats for the kid as they grow up.

The kid's life :D

A quick look at Recaro's site makes me think you were looking at a low-end booster seat though since those are the only sub-$100 seats they make.

Ya I guess, but I mean it was name brand recaro....I mean I would not have the first clue what to look at other than the fact that it has a noose, handcuffs, and a gag so the kid will stay put and STFU!

Back window.

That is a kick ass baby seat though. Do they make helmets and suits for babies too?

We installed Swift Sport lowering springs and a Evo X/JDM 3-bar MAP sensor on this beast today!

So, I decided that I'm done with power for the year and was going to focus on suspension upgrades. As Chris mentioned, got the swift springs in a few weeks ago. We got the Carbing lower control arm brace in over the weekend. I'm quite happy with it, the car feels more stable and planted giving me more confidence in the corners.

I'm thinking about doing a MAP downpipe since the bottom of the hangers on my eBay downpipe sits so close to the bar. I eventually want that and a Perrin stealth catback. Otherwise I think I'll be doing some Perrin swaybar end links to replace the pencil thin stock ones.

Lookin' good senor! It sure feels nice to get the BBS/Sumitomos back on :D

Ever since I got tuned I've been having idle issues, and I have had a hunch that it was my HKS intake. I decided to pick up a Samco intake hose to replace the HKS. So far, I really like it, i was able to switch back to closed loop idle and it is ideling perfect. My low fuel trims are a bit out of wack, but we'll see how that evens out over time. Anyway, on to the pics! I'll be getting an Amsoil air filter to replace the Apex'i soon as well.

The only complaint I have is that the BOV sits a tad high and hits the bottom of the upper radiator hose...

Drop looks good man, how about a wide angle shot w/ the whole car!

The intake hose looks like it necks down in the middle (between maf and bov recirc), is that just the angle?

Also on the one of the stock crossbars/braces there is a middle/third bolt. Does the carbing brace delete that? Looks pretty trick man!

I'm really liking that intake pipe!

New helmet arrived in the mail today. Got a great deal on a nice and light SA2005 Pyrotect helmet. Should be prefect for AutoX!

I'm going to design up some stuff to cover it with and have neighbor who does stickers print them up for me...
