I'm not sure how often I'll update this since this is going to be a slooooow build with a baby on the way . I figured this was the best place for it though.



This is after the second time I tried to do the radio surround and have screwed it up. Looks good otherwise though.

Also.
That Dash piece is brushed aluminum vinyl, right?
Is it plain or dark or...?
Looks legit.

I'm actually thinking of carrying the brushed look all the way over to the instrument pod. It looks like one continuous line visually.

Mach V dual tip muffler delete and Motiv Concepts test pipe ordered. Gonna be ROWDY!

Also doing a full fluid change with Amsoil 0w20 for the motor, Pentosin for the transmission, and Motul 300 for the diff. Gonna be smooth as butter.

Got most of my exhaust in. Just waiting for one more piece. I went ahead and installed the muffler delete. Going to wait until my new hanger come in to install the Motiv stuff. The Mach V delete is quite loud on cold start, but quiets down once it warms up. At highway speeds there is a little drone, but minimal.

I also installed the Billet Pro Shop short shifter. The shifting feels better to me. I have pretty long arms so sometimes getting into 2nd, 4th, and 6th was problematic. Just didn't feel good. This resolved it for me and I'm quite happy with it.

Nice exhaust! Have you been following the tuning threads about the overpipe and catless front pipes? Apparently some are experiencing losses in high RPM power with catless front pipes without a corrected ECU tune due to a rich condition. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23901
