Looks pretty good, I picked some up too but haven't gotten around to it. I'm at that dirt level though, that wasn't too much for the spray?

Is was crazy the list of brands he is an authorized retailer for. At this moment, if anyone is looking to purchase anything, PM me and let me know what is is you are looking for and ill get you the Arizona86 price. For those that are attending tech day on the 15th at my house, he will be making a guest appearance to introduce himself. He is a great dude that wants to hook up our local car community. I'm very excited for the relationship we can begin with him and his new company.
Mishimoto parts?

I bet he is using the same distributor that I am and nope we can't get mishomoto anymore becuase they had a lot of returns.

Edit: not saying it was the parts having bad quality it was probably more due to wait time. Like right now whitline is like 30 days behind which is resulting in a lot of cancled orders for the vendors.

I have the AIRAID as well. Its awesome! I made custom transparent lids for mine so you can see the filter. Its pretty cool.

Not at all. I didn't have as many clean towels as it recommended, but still had no problems getting the dirt off. I thought I was doing it wrong at first because it would leave a film behind, which is when I decided to read the directions and it said you wipe the dirt off initially with one towel, then use a second towel to go over it again, and then a third to give it a final polish. I was only using two towels though and I thought it came out great.

@jasper are you a retailer for agency power as well? He is set up with many companies not just 1 distributor. He has accounts with vivid racing, and a ton of other companies as well. FiveAD, you name it.

That's what I paid for mine. On a side note is anyone else looking at the fa20club turbo kit? With all the upgrades and a new radiator you get 400 HP for just over five thousand dollars!

It is a well designed kit. I would opt for a GTX series turbo upgrade if I you decide on it. Remember with that much power in this car you will need to figure out a way to get that power to the ground and keep the engine safe. One reason I went with moderate power and a supercharger. I know myself and would wanna crank it to the moon and hope it wouldn't let go. 300hp in this car is almost too much, just ask @nelsmar.

I'm not going to shell out 7D or D7100 money for point and shoot quality.

Also, Samsung lenses...ugh.

I agree with the power thing. Before I did fi I would set up the suspension rims tires and brake pads and fluid. I also only drive about ten thousand miles a year so I think I can justify r compound drag radials.
