    Fiona : NB Build

    Welcome to my build thread !

    I'm a person of a few words so I'm going to keep this intro short.
    I've had my 99 NB since 2003 when I was 18 years old. I didn't start modifying it until 2005 when I got my first job. Its been a long road. Probably one of the longest builds on here. I'm slowly getting it to where I want it.

    Been cleaning up the square top manifold in the meantime. Not sure if to go with a full mirror polish finish. Or just powder coat it to match the valve cover.

    Ha, I already got a quote for black chrome powder coat a few weeks ago !

    Got a nice package deal for both the valve cover and intake manifold.

    No huge bonus. I wish thou so I can finish my car already. I just have expensive taste but not deep pockets, so everything takes time.

    The car is my daily, anything else would of been overkill and rather spend the extra money on other things. Almost got HKS Hipermax II coilovers at one point...

    Test fitted the hood and it won't close shut. Its not the hole around the latch hook so I'm going to see if its hitting my strut bar.

    it doesn't look like the strut bar is holding it up, seems like the front. what about the ring that the latch catches? i had to file mine down it was so fat.

    Hmmm didn't think about that...

    I did noticed the hook/ring was shorter than the OEM one....so that would make sense. Thanks for the tip!!!
