This is an amazing build. Car looks great and I think you may have convinced me to paint my front grill.

BTW...Where in NY are you?

If only it was a 6MT it would be perfection. but still an amazing build. :-)
you know whats funny i actually lowered the rear too much by accident , when i pull the motor and swap brakesim gonna raise the car up its WAY too low.. Yea its on Coils
And its funny you say theres a 6 spd trans in the shop right now,
but i rather have the auto and keep the AWD lol..
its like a poor mans GTR lol

Thank you!
Actually im gonna paint it over, but with the outside part same color as the car and the inside part gloss black..
Im gonna do the fog light covers gloss back it looks odd now becuase all trims and grill are gloss black and the lower grill and fog light cover are matte.

Im in Westchester

Your guy does a nice job. Love the black roof. I have the same color and black vinyl wrapped roof, wrapped chrome trim all around too, midnight grille, similar body kit. I used to have rim similar colors and spoke style as yours too. Now I have matte graphite and love kit. Definitely paint your calipers or better yet have them powder coated. They will stand out. Need some tint too. I love this build man. New favorite. If I keep my car we should get together for a cruise if you want to come up my way for a spring/summer vacation.

LOL i actually used your car as my muse for black top and trim. I may have to take you up on that offer bring my camera and we can do a shoot. I don't see too many blue slates hooked up that actually look good. I did the calipers gold i just haven't had a chance to put em on yet. Tints is my next goto move, it looks like a fishbowl lol

How do you like the nitrous, i was gonna supercharge and nitrous at first but I'm a turbo guy I've always had turbo cars so just stuck with what i knew

Nitrous is a lot of fun. I will hit the track and dyno next year if I still have her.

Looking good so far! But I'm still wondering about the fuel and low compression? I always thought lowering the compression was basically a safety measure due to being limited to pump gas while on boost. With you going E85 and a solid tune, doesn't it defeats the purpose entirely? It'll just force you to run even higher boost to compensate for the loss of power? What am I missing? Is it just safer? I'm just curious and am by no means a wizard at tuning so I'm super glad to learn something new too.
