NHFocus wrote:Me: I'm Justin, from NH. I run a detailing business, and just graduated a Mechanical Engineering program. I fell in love with this car from the day I bought it, and I have a LOT of time and money into it. It's a blast to drive, and the progression of the car since I bought it on July 3rd of 2008 (My 18th birthday) fills me with pride. It has come a LONG way since then, and I have no intentions of parting with it any time soon.

I'm 50% english 50% irish...no canadian bullshit here.

Balance shaft..well, I never had a 2.3 before, the first time I drove it without the balance shaft was the first time I'd driven it period. I will say the thing does weigh 50+ lbs, so your shaving that much off the engine. Downside is it now takes 7 quarts of oil.

There is no balance shaft in a 2.0L, so yes.

Be quiet you Canadian Tongue

Your car looks fabulous in person Justin, definitely worthy of winning even though you're far far away from FL

Nah, Justin's car pulls off the no-tint fishbowl look very well. I don't think tint would help the appearance of the car

I could only tint the rears here anyways. ANY tint on the front I'd get pulled over on a daily basis, and then they'd start citing me for all the other mods...stuff they don't bother me for normally because I don't typically drive like a douche.

move to FL like Gump (and soon MI) crews are!! Here, i have 10% all the way around and only get cited for it if i get pulled over for speeding (in the 90mph range on the HWY) and then they dont cite me for speeding LOLOL.

and no emissions for those turboed and catless polluters out there *cough* jim, evan, chris *cough*
