I'm up for a drive!

Well if I was putting the money into engine-related stuff, I'd look at getting either a tune plus an intake with any money left after the tune, or something like the Nameless overpipe replacement with high flow cat and axleback combo, which is also around $1,000. The exhaust probably wouldn't make as much power (Nameless claims 12 whp) , but it you'd get a nice boost in the seat the pants feeling and it should work well with future upgrades.

What I'd get first personally would be grippier tires and maybe a set of wheels if daily driving on the tires wasn't feasible. If the tires were already taken care of, I'd do a front sway bar and the Koni dampers when they're released.

Alignment was spot on. Nail that was in my tire did not puncture the tire but was in a groove going sideways through one of the tread blocks....lol perhaps got while going sideways.

Jesus Christ that wax job I did is Fricken amazing. I have not had the paint look this good since I got the car.

My springs have been on the car for about 8000 miles now.

Oh yeah, two techs at discount asked if I had a race clutch installed. Guy said he stalled it three times getting into the bay.

Glad I'm getting the clutch and tranny looked at by bug two on Monday. They are replacing the window switch as well. Now will be adding the rattle issue from the door panels. I never noticed how bad it is while listening to music.

I had the speaker door rattle, they put foam inserts to keep the wires/harnesses away from anything to rattle on...which fixed the problem.

But it took 5 techs to figure out door panel removal, so your welcome!

I recently Dynamatted my doors and took the panels off, the only thing that rattles is the switch box for the windows. Its because it has a plastic back that has stupid flimsy clips so the back is loose against the switch pod. I took a little dynamat and used it to secure the two parts. Now i have zero rattle, but it allows meto hear how crappy the speakers really are since I can turn them up more.

I am on another site as well and i did a door rattle fix how to. Door panels are pretty easy to get off and rattle is easy to fix. I didnt see the wire rattle as the culprit. I found the speaker grill itself to be the cause. 7 screws hold on from behind and they arent doing a very good job IMO.

Also put these on today!!!



Still waiting on my red annodized lug nuts, and need to raise the rear about a half inch. I also need to buy an adjustable rear link kit so I can dial out the toe in.

I'm gonna have to do a real wax job this weekend and take some pics of the car...just wish I had a DSLR camera so I could get some real high quality photos.

Thanks man!! The rear toe is killing me though, feels like the rear end is doing its own thing while driving straight. Need to find links asap.
