Your build looks great. I don't really have many other plans as of yet. I can see myself probably getting a header down the road, but putting extra cash towards the payments looks promising.
I had a goal of getting rims, tune, and bolt on's and ive nearly achieved that once my catback arrives

front pipe, ECUTEK and Perrin CAI all arrived. I got the CAI installed and it sounds really nice above 4k. Should be receiving the tune for my car tomorrow but definitely looking forward to having the front pipe and catback installed for stage 2 tune.

Let me know how that tune feels....I am very interested in getting it myself.

Got my perrin resonated catback + front pipe installed.
Can't say how happy i am with the result, it sounds amazing.
I'm really happy i went with the resonated because it's still pretty loud in conjunction with the front pipe. Got a lot of complements with it at a local car meet.


- Going to Collect my data logs today and send them to fa20club later today, i have been waiting to get the customized tune because my catback got back ordered and then lost in the mail, it took me 40 days to receive.

pic my buddy took of my car's at a meet last night

How do you like the Goodyear F1's? They had been in the running for my last tire swap on my previous car, but, I ended up going with Bridgestone Potenza RE970's. I was very happy with them, but, it would be good to get someone's input on the competing tire that I was also considering.

I have no complains thus far, they seem to have amazing dry/wet grip. I'ts actually quite difficult to get them loose especially when comparing them to stocks.
I'll have to keep an eye on the wear and see how that goes.
Here in Canada tire purchasing is rather difficult unless its convenient to get them over the border. I't was just going to cost me way to much to get other tires i was looking at, but overall i have no regrets.
