The Spoolin Project, A New beginning

[SPOOLIN]

Im finally got my EK up and going and its running very well. I can't thank Charles Warren @ Main Stream Performance, Turbo Dave Fabrications, Scotty - Scott Brooks(Scttydb411 - www.digitalboxtuning.com) and Mr. KiDD enough for all the help they have given me in the past years with my projects and keeping my spirits up and keeping me on track through the bad luck i have had. Can't forget josh green for the help he has put in from the start as well, and also my wife for putting up with it. I get a lot of people asking me about it when i go to the varsity or just when hanging out on the weekends so i thought id post up, The car will go for a final tune later this month, we did a preliminary tune so i could take it and make sure everything is right before we tune it for 30-35 psi. Anyways, here is some updated pics. The intercooler is slightly crooked temporarily, lol.

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

If only you knew the past...

[SPOOLIN]

seems like this car was a theft recovery, am i right? lol

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

Even before the theft haha

Your car had the works from 5 lug conversion to other "jdm" stuff and got stripped. We know who too...

But its nice to see it in better shape.

[SPOOLIN]

i figured it had been a rape victim

[BABY J]

Kool man. I know I ask a lot of questions to you and Mike(PM). Thanx for putting up w/ it. NEthing I can do - LMK.

[Professor X]

It's good to see you getting it back together Matt. I haven't seen you in a while, but I look forward to seeing how the next version takes shape.

[thinkskater]

i know that problems can happen but your pushin alot through the engines u boost. but u really are .... as long as your problems aside your car arent std related i would LOVE to have your problems matt

[SPOOLIN]

It's good to see you getting it back together Matt. I haven't seen you in a while, but I look forward to seeing how the next version takes shape.

yeah i havnt seen your ass in a while. You been hiding, or just not doing much with cars lately?

[JKOBD]

Looking good man. Love that color! Hopefully that turbo doesn't leak!

[SPOOLIN]

dave has ragged some turbonetics turbos with no problems in the past. They seem to be a lot better than they used to, if it does, and i have problems, ill just switch i guess. Thanks for the comments.

[Autoworks]

Looks great man, I've seen the car in person a few times.

[Blaze the chemi]

Dang...that block is so shinny :camera: And yummy...sleeves. That sure is looking good. Good luck.

[Professor X]

yeah i havnt seen your ass in a while. You been hiding, or just not doing much with cars lately?

My wife and I had a son last year around this time so I haven't been out and about as much. I sold my hatch and have an Integra now. Hopeully, I'll have it ready to go down the track by the end of the summer. It won't be race spec like yours but I think it will be ok for a street car.

[SPOOLIN]

hey whatever you gotta do to have some car fun is alright!!

[Professor X]

Hey Matt,
What brand injectors did you use on your stock sleeve LS/VTEC motor? I remember you posting about how good your fuel mileage was?
Thanks,
Tony

[SPOOLIN]

[SPOOLIN]

its been done before and more, but its mine, and i take pride in it even through all the heart ache its brought in the past.

[-S Double C-]

Your EK is looking good bro. It will look even better after you get them lights i sold you put in it. I like the color it's different and one of a kind just like the green on my ek. Im sure ill see yah at ISP or a varsity meet sooner or later and ill say whatsup! You cant miss my ek. The green is one of a kind and then...well there's the red rota group n's :)

[SPOOLIN]

[Master Shake]

i know this is off topic but how is the ol' white ek coming along? or did you get rid of it?

[SPOOLIN]

my white EG?? Im about to start returning it to the clean clean hatch that it was and might do a K series in it, or a nice moderate and clean turbo setup on the B18 in it. Never really owned a white EK though.

[Master Shake]

Never really owned a white EK though.yea, i'm taking that was it. the one with the big ass front mount in it. i thought it was an ek, but i remember you got it, i believe was after you had your sol. cause you traded it for jay's boosted gsr, and he later found out you sold the turbo kit off of it and he was like "i didn't know it was worth that much". that idiot.

anyway, you changed the car and did some more work, then had a lot of complications with the car so you bought that ek. i remember hearing something about you had trouble while you were down in valdosta participating a race and something happened and it was the last straw fro you, so you got you ek.

[SPOOLIN]

yeah im working on it little by little now that my EK is back running. I kinda neglected it and im shooting myself for neglecting it. Ill be redoing the paint soon.

[The BUCKY]

car looked great at nopi. everytime i walked by someone was drooling over it

[SRCRX]

Ya I seen it also, very clean and like 10 just looking at the engine bay!!

[SPOOLIN]

thanks man. Ive worked hard on it, still got quirks that bother me but i guess thats the show car side of me. Stuff that no one else really notices haha.

The wheels on the back are one of the first sets of Lenso Skinnies ever shipped and mounted.

[Vteckidd]
