Yup. I had the sport20, then went back to the Protege5 badge for a little while, then back to the sport20, then to the protege5 badge blacked out, and then to the 323 badge. I didn't really like the 323 badge at first but it's definitely growing on me.
I am SO glad these forums are back!!

heres a lil looksy at wht gregs been doing and yes its real carbon fiber
nice nice! I don't think I've ever seen your car in person without the CF hood, but I really think it looks good like it is now!
How is it working with the sheets of CF? I know it must be sorta flexible because I had a CF wallet but how is the raw material?
Oh also how difficult is it to remove that padded piece that you are putting the two gauges in?

It actually is still red in my avatar, it's just a bit too washed out to see. The morning sun was blazing over the mountain when I took the pics (both of them, sig and avatar, were taken at the same time).
But yeah, I still don't know how I feel about the silver front calipers. That's why I haven't gotten to the rears yet. I really think I might go back to red on the front. Some call it ricey but I just really like the way it looks, is there something so wrong about that?
Maybe I can find a red that isn't so bright or something.
oh wait. You're talking about that little .gif that I made for my old avatar. That was my point for making it really, because it was simple and easily recognizable. Even though the names are there, I get thrown off by everyone who uses the same avatar pics.
I plan on making something new, just thought I would toss something up until then.

Yeah I sorta want to change my forum username (again, I was Myndfi3ld back in 2004). "zverg" is just a modified version of "zwerg", German for midget or dwarf.
No, I'm not a dwarf, but I was really short when I got the nickname like in 9 or 10th grade in high school (sophomore in college now). It doesn't really fit anymore, I'm like 5'9" / 5'10". I just haven't thought of a good username to change it to. I've been thinking about it for at least a year now haha.

Yet another reason I should come back for the weekend for the Hopkington meet. Chris with the RX-8 wheels on his P5, your car with all this new custom work. bah it's such a drive.
Do you still have the rear lip you had on at the Spring Install meet last April? Kenwood lip or something right?
Washed her up finally: nearly 24" of snow in 3 weeks, and now it's all melting = VERY dirty car, even with hosing her down each week. Oh, and took a road trip on Saturday and the rattles tagged along.... sigh. Hopefully the new rims, rubber, struts, springs, and rear sway bar go on in a couple weeks *crosses fingers*.

Eww snow GTFO! kidding of course, but I really don't like snow.
What is the weather like there now? It's supposed to be 74 here tomorrow, which is crazy for this area at this time of the year.
I win, two winters in Rochester so far and I've managed to miss a crazy winter both years. Hell, there wasn't even a food of total accumulation this year that I'm aware of.
I hate it too - more and more each year. Though I will say, you do have to have snow at Christmas; it's just not the same without it. But otherwise, no thanks! Basically, 99% of the snow that's fallen this winter has been since the beginning of March.zverg said:Eww snow GTFO! kidding of course, but I really don't like snow.

It's been just above freezing all week, and is expected to stay that way for a little while yet (hopefully it just gets warmer and warmer). Therefore, due to all the melting snow, Morrigan is in a perpetual state of 'dirty', and will be for a while yet.
Oh yeah, another 'mod' from Saturday: huge friggin rock chip in the hood thanks to the truck in front of me riding the line and kicking up all the sand and gravel. Through the clear, paint and into the primer; I don't think it's down to metal, but I'm not sure. Pisses me off even more because the hood just got fixed and repainted last summer. (pissed) Time to break out the bottle of touch up paint... again.
