Alita's NA Series.Blue Build (powered by crickets)

Well, it seems to be the thing to do... so I'm making a thread.

I've gone back and forth quite a bit on the subject of FI, but the more I drive the car, the more I'm happy with it being NA. So, NA it is.

I will probably keep the car relatively stock looking, but do have plans to do quite a bit of work on it.

Thus far, I have installed...

PERRIN 3" CAI
PERRIN 3" Catback Exhaust
PERRIN 2.5" Overpipe
PERRIN Lightweight Crank Pulley
PERRIN Lightweight Accessory Pulley Kit
PERRIN Inlet Hose
Smoked Side Markers
Valenti Smoked Tail Lights
Valenti Smoked Rear Light Bar
Rexspeed Convex Side Mirrors (turns out I have heated mirrors, so I'll be replacing these with the heated version)

Opti-Coat (doesn't really count, but I feel is worth mentioning)
SunTek Clear Bra (full hood & fenders)


Arriving Soon...
Crawford Air/Oil Separator
PST Carbon Fiber Driveshaft



Shortly after getting it:




PERRIN Exhaust tips ^_^

just got my Valenti's installed. Rewired them so the triangle is another brake light. I will probably remove the brake light from my rear window, as I currently have four, and only need three.

Also, I just had Opti-Coat and a clear bra installed, so I'm happy about that.
The people who applied the Opti-Coat took several pictures after they were done, so once I get my hands on those, I'll post some daylight pictures of the Valenti's.

oh wow, i just just adjusted the clutch engagement point per: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8040

i can't recommend this enough, especially for anyone not tall. i no longer care about stop and go traffic, and getting moving up hills has become significantly easier, and with no roll back.

driving just got more fun ^_^

i've been loosely shopping around for headers, but i haven't really decided on one. if PTUNING would put a cat on their EL header, i'd have already ordered one >.<

it's hurting me to wait until next year for those wheels. i'm going to put winter tires on my stock wheels for this winter, so with timing and all, it just makes more sense to wait to change the wheels until after winter.

also... some more pictures.
(photos provided by Speedfreak Detailing, if you need any Opti-coat applications or detailing, i highly recommend them)
