How difficult was the back up camera installation? What sort of configuration on the stock head unit was necessary? Btw your car looks awesome! :burnrubber:

Heres a thread I made about it back when I did it Not a full DIY but should be helpful. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15239 |
I need to get a set of those Calipers. They came out great after the powder coat! HAWK pads all of the way too!

Been awhile since I've updated, but wanted to show some stuff off.
Got my Revworks UEL Header and it sounds amazing with the 3in catback from Ptuning. Header ready for install: http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psd12dacc5.jpg Old header off: http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5519c23f.jpg Old vs New: http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1fd00bc6.jpg New Header Installed: http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3380ed63.jpg Very happy with the sound. Been driving a lot more than I should now with it on. Plus a quick pic of the first snow here in VA: http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psc9694e1a.jpg and a quick teaser of the next step thanks to @WheelDude http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8b678eb2.jpg |

Finally got my wheels installed last night.
http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps498fd3d8.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3701382e.jpg They are Rota Titans 17x9 Front and Rear 245/40-17 Bridgestone RE11-a Front 255/40-17 Bridgestone RE11-a Rear Needed a 5mm spacer in front to clear the factory strut perches. Will update with some better pictures when I get some soon. Needs to be washed bad. |
saw your car in Tysons like 30 minutes ago, sounded pretty nasty with the headers. Made me excited because I have borla headers coming my way in the hear future haha
