Started wrapping my car this weekend. I'm taking it slow to avoid frustration and rushing problem areas. Slowly but surely...

I'm working towards boosting my G and the kit I want comes with 750cc ... I'm just giving myself some cap space with 1000cc for c85 or methanol injection.

19X9.5 Stance SF01 Wheels
FI RHFC
Lol January version of me really underestimated the mod bug.

-Got the wheels
-IPL Bumper on
-Ebay *****
-sport rear sway bar is in my basement install TBD
-RHFC are ordered from FI so a few weeks to go
-Got some quotes for a tune from a few different shops

Now I'm eyeing up brakes since mine need to be replaced and on my way into work today I was looking back at my car and thinking how good a rear diffuser would look on her. IT'S A DISEASE PLEASE SEND HELP

It's 3M's 1080 series Cosmic Blue (G377), but I like saying that it's Daytona Blue

Kenny I'm glad you posted an update/year to date post like I did. I was concerned I was being obnoxious

I hope others do as well. It's fun to see how plans change and people get caught up in the mod bug.

I'm back on track! Got another low mile used transmission and swapped it out for the broken one. Back to where I was. Up next is test pipes to swap out my HFCs and an 1pc driveshaft.

Art pipes completed! Solid transmission mount completed! Driveshaft shop 1pc aluminum driveshaft ordered! I hope I get before the year end to finish the modding year on a good note! A lot has been accomplished!!! I have many reviews to do! Also forgot. Swapped my oem cmc for another oem master cylinder. If it ever goes out again I will get the heavy duty master. I did a review on the installation and I got MANY more reviews to do!!! Happy Monday.

Man I planned for NO mods this year. That went real well.
Spacers
LEDs everywhere.
Aragosta Type S coilovers
Nismo R-tune intake
Fast Intentions RHFC's
Tow hook license plate mount

For 2017 I'm planning the following (even though most of it will get installed before January)
19x9.5" wheels (x4) and Michelin PSS rubber
Front and rear camber arms
An alignment!
Morimoto LED's
2-piece front/rear rotors
Wavetrac LSD (yes, in a manual diff housing) and whiteline bushings
Specialty Z EcuTek tune
Possibly front and side splitters
Black chrome front grille
