Regenesis Build Thread. Jan 2013. Dropping in to say hi!!

Re: Regenesis Build Thread. New: CF Roof and Waxed!

Daver, were you bored?? LMAO

Well Ive been away from GPF for most of the summer... Sorry peeps... In part bc Ive been waaay too busy with work, and in part bc I had login issues... But Im back...

Anyone following my ride on GPONA already knows some of my years trials and tribulations...

Spring: Rim/Tire went off on its own at 25 mile an hr and that meant a new fender... Luckily located one in Galaxy Silver. :)

Summer: Numerous probs with ebay vendors boiled down to long delays getting my CCFLs into my new retro'd headlights... When I finally got them done, they were so blue that I got the attention of local law enforcement and was given a friendly heads up, so I had to order more, and this time do them in white...

Late Summer: Llightly rear ended coming back from a business trip to Toronto, but I ended up getting a brand new bumper bar, a repainted rear bumper, and the SE valance. ;)

Oh, and I made this for GPONA (hope its ok to post this here, no doubt you will recognize some cars...LOL): http://youtu.be/FP495suhe8U

Now its time to pretty much get ready for fall/winter...

Spring mods: Pulley drop, fresh tune and tune up, proper CAI, flowmasters or borlas, a couple new tires, EBCM fix, CTSV/Brembo upgrade, and more custom stuff.

Wont happen this year, but Ive been thinking about buying a "beater"... I could go Swiss, like someone I know (and I have been looking at Saabs), Ive also been looking at Cobalt SS' (SC of course), Audi A4's (M6 Quattro).

Then the practical in me (bc my old lady wants a kid soon) looks at Envoys...

But then, after watching the Top Gear USA Episode from Season 2 about the best trucks in America, Ive been drooling over one of these...

I posted an ad in the local classifieds (similar to Craigslist), and a day later I got a reply... turned out he was also in the Ontario Grand Prix club... so it all worked out. ;)

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Been away from GPF for tooooo long, thought Id pop over to report Regenesis is alive and well. :)

Took advantage of a mild day today and hardwired in my new TomTom I received for X Mas as well as a 3 plug 12 V receptacle for my iPod mount.

Gettin kinda antsy to get into gathering up parts for spring modding, but waiting til I get back from Mexico in March to start to gather up parts.

Plans:

-LED Tails.
-Tweak and Re-Install retrofitted projectors.
-3.6 MPS
-New Tires.
-Mystery Brake Upgrade.
-Stage 1 ZZP Axles and wheel bearings.
-CheapABS.com EBCM rebuild.
-Switching hood vinyl from CF to Gloss Vinyl.

Maybe:

-Flowmasters or Borla Mufflers.

Just dropping in to say hi and to let everybody over here know that Mr A and Regenesis are still kicking arround... Made some minor visual mods over the winter, planning a 3.6 pully drop, LED tails (with some customizing), a stage 2 in car tune by Overkill, brake upgrade (keeping fingers crossed that there will be enough $$ for the Brembo upgrade), some more vinyl wrap enhancements, and one last headlight retro. :) Stay tuned peeps.

Shout out to my good friend Dave and all the GPF peeps, hoping to meet up with GPONA/GPF folks at Carlisle in June (GM Nats).
