The car is looking Great!!!
I stil cant get past what I would really want. The nice luxury and comforts of the x, or the raw, loud evo8,9's lol.
My g/f got an se, and I love driving it. Mainly cause its auto. Its so nice to jump in and go. I dont think I could drive it all the time though. Nothing like getting in my evo and hauling *** with the sound of the buschur exhaust and open dump ripping in my ears!!
The ten does look very nice though Shawna! I Still like the old 8 more though lol.

Thanks a lot guys! It's been crazy around here moving the shop and all that but I got some updates.
These rotors have been great! They started to "sing" a bit on light braking, but I haven't heard a squeak out of them in about a week. Might be they just needed time to settle in.
Here's some more info on the Giro Disc's:
Giro Disc 2 Piece Rotors
Up to 8,000 miles on her now! Just came back from a trip from Rochester to West Point Military Academy. It was comfortable as always the whole way.
I'm looking forward to the IDRC trip this weekend in Ohio!! Cant wait to get on the track! We might have the clutch installed by then (I hope) but I know we have some shop cars to get finished up too.
Anyhow. On to the pics!

Just got back from the track! I ran a best of 12.7 at 108 or 109. Had a few 12.9@108. Stock clutch is doing fine so far. I think I can do better though. My best 60' was a 1.8. I'll be racing this weekend so it should be fun!!
I spent 2 days detailing and waxing it so we are ready for the IDRC! I got a ton of comments from the road back to the staging lanes. It looks good.
One pass I was lined up with some old muscle car and I put on my helmet and he started revving his motor all loud and crazy. And I thought maybe I'll just let him go so I can actually hear the car and know what I'm doing... Yhen I thought, screw that! Let's go for it! So we staged together and he definitely got me out of the hole but I started banging gears and swearing a little and by 4th gear I had him! Ha! I was so proud of myself.
