^the upper and lower grille mesh matching really brings that look home. Well done.
Ever consider a bigger Fuji emblem in that grille?
My tuner has an emblem from an FX on his 800hp monster G, and it looks hilariously terrible. I'm very happy with the size lol.
Did my serpentine belt this weekend and took some rain photos. While the coolant reservoir was out, scuffed it up and gave it a coat of wrinkle black while leaving a little window on the back to see the level.
Made plans to sell... I have a buddy interested in picking my '09, and the deal has essentially been sealed. I will be taking over my dads coupe as soon as he finds a car he is ready to get into. He doesn't drive it enough, and wants something different.
This sleeper hurricane sure did bring a ton of rain.
That's two 4x6 wood blocks in the back tires.
Unfortunately after 2 days the water level had not gone down significantly and I had to work. FML.
So the "S" went from sport to Submarine
On another note, my compressed wood covered in flex seal undershield was the true hero.
Even at stock height with 19s water got up to the middle of the bumper grill
Here in Charleston the city opens up the parking garage decks for free when there's an approaching king tide or hurricane, to get the downtowners' cars out of flood areas. Most of downtown is about 18" above sea level.
Where we live we're at about 33 feet, but with very heavy rains our drainage is still overwhelmed and I park nose-up in the driveway (on ramps if we're leaving for a 'cane and have to leave the G here).
Just keep an eye out they will eventually pop up. Start lurking craiglist, facebook marketplace, offerup, and these forums on a regular basis.
Myra thanks man. I did have a subscriber on here pm me that he had a set for sell so I’m just waiting to here back from him. Fingers crossed stock 17s are so ugly lol.
Made an exhaust change today that has almost disappointed me. Already had the Topspeed y back for a couple of years. Picked up a used Fast Intentions catback and Fast Intentions hfc recently. Catback has the 12" resonators and 2-1/2" pipes. The hfc are non resonated. I was expecting a big difference. It's deeper sounding at idle and seems quieter at cruising speed. But I really don't notice any more volume or seat of the pants power. I guess it's because I'm coming from another aftermarket exhaust instead of stock.

been there somewhere along the line with modding cars, so the feeling is understandable. However, there are a few thoughts that came to mind with past experiences similar. Are the test pipes coupe size at 2.5 as well? Any leaks? If it sounds good, maybe just give it some time and keep modding up top
Can't imagine how panicky you must have felt.
