The car was stolen and some parts stripped and the hood was something they stole. So I drove it for 3 hours with no hood, then bought a hood, then drove the last 2 hours home.

Well it was funny how once thousands of people got filled in on how everything was going he coughed the car up lol. I posted about it on every site I'm a member at lol.
The motor is fine. We had some trouble with the motor due to some water but I got most of that fixed within an hour though...oh yeah, and I had to hot wire the car to get it lol. Stupid broken ignitions....

Dude, wheres the rest of your car?
looks like it got stripped down pretty good, did it always have 1 set or did they steal the other one too? i like the color of the paint, though im not to keen on that perticular kit... is that a c/f hood or just black?..
Nice car, although you have a bit of work cut out for you to replace alot of the stuff that was stolen, o and do yourself a favour and get some rims!

It had both seats but they stole the pass. one.
The hood is just black, the CF hood was stolen as well.
I have 2 sets of wheels, but winter does very nasty things to them, so I'm gonna wait a little bit to put them on.

Pretty nice. I am glad that everything worked out in the end for you.
I really like the burnt orange coloring. They offered that stock on a few vehicles over here, and I have a friend with a S-14 done up in the same colors.
Contrary to what everone else seems to think, the only thing on the kit that doesn't really look all that good to me is the rear bumper and the wing.

I agree, the rear is ugly and the wing is ugly as well. I'm going to get a whole new kit, Black Widow1, which is what the front bumper is. This one is cracked so I'm going to get a whole new kit.

Not really sure of the american kits. the bumper kind of looks like a c-west or something. You could probably repair the front bumper and put a kit together a little cheaper.
Over here they have some kits by Mugen that are pretty cool. The Japanese dont really mess with the hondas as much as the other cars, but you still see the occasional cool kit. As long as it isnt a stupid Veilside kit that makes it look like the batmobile I like just about anything.
I have a carbon bonnet on my car, but the biggest drawback to that is all the fucking fingerprints everyone leaves on it. (The "is this real carbon fibre syndrome") I have seen a lot of really tight FRP bonnets lately that are of good quality. I kind of like the way the black one on you car looks now, and in my opinion I would stick with that color scheme.
