Took my baby for her first emissions test, and she passed! She has CNT catless UEL headers and runs 91 on Stage 2.

Now I can finally register her in AZ and take that stupid front license plate off. I might also do a mustache delete and a grille mod.

Installed ace headers last night finished around.1130isn't. Took me 2 hours after putting almost everything on in the wrong order. Only had 1 extra pop rivet. Cant figure out where it goes. Feels good, but there is a air roosting noise that I believe is my catch can but.not 100% sure. It doesn't seem to relate to rpm so I believe is just more blowby. Ill retighten all my clamps and see if it goes away. I haven't gotten any cel yet so it cant be that bad a leak

Yesterday I finally swapped the old chrome badges on the rear with some $8 aliexpress (sp.?) matte black ones I got about a year ago and have been procrastinating on installing lol.

Finally got the autocross car all cleaned up. Icky vinyl off, all the autocross stickers are off, then did tons of polishing. Did a heavy cut compound followed by a finishing polish, nice sealant then topped it with some Dodo Juice Supernatural wax.

No hp gain but top speed increased by 10 mph due to reduced drag.

What did I do with my BRZ? Well, I finally got my 2018 BRZ from the dealer (not a ts edition). Got the windows tinted and the body and wheels coated with four layers of Nano ceramic coating 💃

By the way, I'm trying to upload some photos from my iPhone but the dimensions exceed the limits! Any advice to do that from an iPhone very very quickly?

Thanks in advance

26% sounds awfully low considering the amount of elbow grease that went into the mod.. I think you're too conservative. Is this a Canadian thing?
