so far i filled the tank, put on a ported front exhaust manifold, gutted the airbox, balanced the wheels with hidden weights :p, with an alignment (thank god i work at NTB!). going to put on a new muffler/tips as its got a hole, tint the windows and a minor pulley down. not much more than that

It's like looking at my old car. It looks so clean I wouldn't want to drive it in the winter and get salt on it.
