I've been very busy and haven't had time to reach out to them. I'll try and do so today.

Ok, ok, ok... it's been a couple days now and we don't have any videos yet! What gives?

I kid... unless you're going to upload some videos of this bad boy in action.

So busy at work... and then busy with the wife and kids. I'll mount the gopro tonight and you'll have a video in the AM

Forget the video! I want to see it in person!

I'm trying to make the thing at Josh's place on Saturday @Chen

I wish I could attend that. Unfortunately I'll be at work.

I tried getting some video this AM but the weather wasn't cooperating. It's 34* and the roads are covered in frost around here. I'm just sliding on surface streets. Tried to launch a freeway on ramp and even that was proving to be a challenge. Maybe at lunch time I'll have some success.

It's all good! Don't put you or your car at risk to get a video.

I was just curious about how it was running and how you're feeling about the kit.

Still haven't gotten around to getting a video but tomorrow looks like I'll have time and some cooperation with the weather. However, I picked up some parts from Perrin the other day. It's nice having them in town!

Back on jack stands


22mm Front Sway Bar installed at Soft Setting (130% stiffer than stock). Notice the decal is on upside down. It's covered so whatever.





16mm Rear Sway Bar installed at Medium Setting (160% stiffer than stock). It was a super tight fit and there was no way of avoiding scratching the paint on one side trying to get it in unless I dropped the LCA and since I have camber bolts in the LCA I would need an alignment so the paint was sacrificed. You can also see the Beatrush Rear Diff Brace I installed last summer.



Heres another shot of the Beatrush Rear Diff Brace


I was going to pull of the front wheels and lower the front now that I'm done with the dyno tuning but decided to wait until tomorrow and wash the car while on jack stands in the driveway with the wheels off. The Advans and especially the KW's need some cleanup (see above) and the undercarriage in general needs some cleanup. Gonna be a long day.

*edit*
Almost forgot...

When Bob was tuning my car he ended up installing a bung in the front pipe for super accurate AFR reading so adding a dedicated AFR gauge will be a snap now if this whole DashCommand thing doesn't work out.

Todays work...

[m.box.design]

Kev are you going to get the APR skirts as well>?

[digital_assassin]

Possibly. I've yet to decide. I'm really digging the Ings+ kit and the Varis Widebody right now but am leery of kits after the 5AD debacle

[ramiram1984]

Nice job. I went with the stiffest setting for both on front (22mm) rear (25mm)

[digital_assassin]

I bet the ass end kicks out super easy Sam. I drove mine a bit last night and it feels pretty good. Track will be the real test though. Common spring, I'm ready to race!
