As was promised, I got the car taxed yesterday, pumped up the tyres and took it out for a drive.. this after 3 months of zero activity..

Yeah, HKS Hi-Power Spec-L
I love it, sounds great and very light for a stainless dual exit.

Anything else done to the exhaust setup? I'm thinking about getting the Spec-L once i get my Tomei UEL but i'm not sure how loud it'll be as far as cold starts and neighbors lol

It should be fine if you keep oem over pipe and front pipe.
I have the old OpenFlash UEL catless header, oem over pipe and front pipe. It's not too loud. My tune does have a reduced cold start idle so I can't speak for that particular portion.
Here is what she sounds like at full tilt, microphone is attached at the rear license plate.

Thanks! Yeah, that run just barely edged me into 3rd PAX out of 75ish drivers, many of which are very talented and very fast. Plus the car felt great all day with real nice controllable mid-corner on throttle rotation.

Car sounds awesome! And sick run man!

Out for the summer 😁

BrahmaBull1990 · 04-07-2021, 11:28 PM

Not my car but such an EPIC V8 swap on a twin...I’m shocked tbh

gen3v8 · 04-08-2021, 01:33 AM

Changed the gearbox and dif oils

therealstoly · 04-08-2021, 10:09 PM

Manicci mats and new sills/scuffs from Subispeed.

Not 100% sure how I feel about the Aero Fins...

Renegade Motorsports cap kit to rid the bay of all the yellow caps, APR shroud, and some Cusco fanboi bits and pieces.

Swapped the Sachs/Eibach out with the CSG Tein FLA kit. Also installed the ARP OEM length studs. CSGs come with very little, if any, adjustments needed. I did two rounds of minute tweaking at each corner based on my weight etc. and had Street Automotive in Reno take over for the final fine tuning of camber/caster/et al and alignment.

Yesterday got the car back from the shop.

Had:

* TOB and clutch fork replaced with new 2017+ TOB, Verus fork/pivot
* Jackson Racing combo oil cooler/radiator

Can't wait to see how everything feels and works!

How many miles on your TOB before it crapped out?

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
