Update on this. Running into big fuel starvation issues. One corner I can widen my exit and take 4th early which helps some. Another I just have to live with. It is better if I keep the car above 1/4 tank.

Took the longest drive so far... 2.5 hours each way to Ocean City MD and back with my wife. Mostly highway speeds but a fair amount of stop and go traffic for the final 30 minutes on the way down. The seats were pretty comfortable the whole ride. As a bonus a group of teenagers were totally in love with the car at the boardwalk parking lot and couldn't stop making comments about it.

Used up whatever lives my fob had left by going swimming with it still on my belt loop.

I went paddle boarding and was swimming for a while after my friend stopped with her dog. Felt them and pulled them out. Pulled the key, tapped out the remote blew it a couple times and stuck it in my dry bag.

She pulled up next to my car and that beautiful glow came on when you approach.

My wife has put the keyless fob for our other car through the washing machine 3 times now, and amazingly it still works too!

What about the fob??

Installed the Jackson Racing oil cooler. It works a little too well on the highway, but it's great on the track!

Make a removable cover so it only cools on the track. I did on mine and it runs like standard until it`s uncovered. Apart from a slightly longer oil warm up.

Test fitted my Enkei GTC02 18x9+42. Will fit some 255`s on em

Used Vivid Carbon Fiber with texture. Left over from my previous car. Figured I’d use it up before I get some more. I’m not a pro but I’m happy with it for the most part. A few wrinkles but only on the tight corner towards the window. I’ll redo it once I get some more from Amazon. Took a few hours haha. But hey, it beats paying someone to do it! And just in the one for Portland Super Subie Stancewars!

Looks good. Prepare to not be able to turn to full lock without rubbing on the inside of the fender well.

Thank you for linking this series. Was looking for similar assembly/disassembly videos. This one never came up in the search.
