Nice to see this thread get bumped with progress. Good DIY job on the headlights! I'm jealous.
Reading back to the top here, I feel almost like we're doing the same things to the same car, only you're modding 10x faster than me. It took me four years and 1000 comments to get where you are at 6 months and 30 posts.
Too funny.

I realize the point of this picture is to look at that razor sharp cut-off. And it is pretty impressive. However...
OMG that garage!
It's like one of those trick videos where you're supposed to count the number of times they pass the ball between them, all the while ignoring the giant dancing bear.

That just made my day. Thanks.If you're wondering about the lower engine cradle braces, I got nothing to say. With an aftermarket suspension and sways, it's a non-existent change, IMO. That said, I still stand behind the FSTB as worthy and noticeable.
Are you considering the Z1 Tranny Mount bushing? I'm certainly planning on it next Summer, to compliment a STS. Credit to 4DRZ, paving the way there on the Sedan.
And I'm still on-target (with the wifey and the budget, LOL) for a Springtime install of 4.083 gears with Whiteline Diff bushings. You?

That's true.

4.083 gears are also on the list, test pipes, manifold, and ecutek should round out my power goals for being N/A.
I talked to BC and they wanted me to send them the rear coilovers to re-build them for a few hundred. I had an opportunity to sell them and make some money on top of it so I just did that.

Reviving this 10 year old thread. This guy makes the right CHOICE on parts and his car looks MINT overall.

I installed a Z1 bolt-on 20mm spacer up front to even out the rears.
Here is my Beluga Racing resonated test pipes. In addition, I used Blox 02 spacers, Z1 metal gaskets for the header to test pipe merge, and their regular gaskets for the Y-pipe to test pipe merge. The fitment of the test pipes was excellent. There is no leaks, no CEL yet, and no rasp. I have the Invidia Q300 which is probably the quiestest catback available for the car. I haven't driven many miles on it yet but I can't notice any drone. The car is still pretty quiet, surprisingly quiet for test pipes. In the next couple of weeks, I will write up a review of the Beluga test pipes because noone really has said much about them. They are built well, reasonably priced, and supposedly share the same manufacturer as Top Speed.
