All these brand new parts and can’t install them cause of coronavirus... 🥺
Ark Grip exhaust, Eibach front and rear sway bars, Eibach lowering springs. Do you know how many years I’ve wanted this exhaust?!?! And it shows up the day my county started locking **** down. And to boot, the weather was perfect for installing this weekend
Over the weekend, I put on my HKS HI-POWER Exhaust. It sounds perfect and looks gorgeous! I will get some pictures of the finished look once this crazy weather clears!

Congrats on that hks setup. I've been torn between that exact exhaust and the stillen. Very nice choice you made. Upload some sound clips!!! 😁👍

Once this crazy weather gets out of here... I will absolutely get some clips and pictures up. I can tell you...it sounds perfect for those looking for 0 drone and a quiet exotic sound. That being said...if you get on it past 3500 RPM it is absolutely not quiet. It sounds mean, dirty, yet exotic. You most definitely do not lose the stock VQ sound we all love... it is there just amplified. I am not a fan of the Stillen design having the Y-PIPE merge to a single outlet. The HKS setup is true dual the entire way. Get the HKS, you will not regret it! It also looks like a monster when behind the car!
I certainly like the turn signals, and the LED main light. And while I'm on/off about the crooked light bar, this seems too much. Would rather it were thinner.
Overall... very nice. A little over the top, but that's kind of the point.
Installed a new shift **** and shoot boot retainer / collar. Had a custom **** made from Raceseng. I went with the Ashiko powder coated in white gloss with the shift boot retainer / collar in translucent blue. i wanted to match the colors in the gauges, my ESCORT 9500IX, and my exterior (Moonlight White Pearl). I cannot say enough about the quality from Raceseng. This **** is HEAVY, weighing in at 735 grams or 1.6 pounds. Something I never want to do ever again......... remove the OEM shift ****! It was a horrible experience.
My wheels and tires are finally upgraded to Enkei PF05's with Michelin PSS in 245/4519 and 265/40/19, and I'm so happy with the investment. This may be the best set of tires I've ever had on a car, and their grip is outstanding. Not cheap though.
