Yep, all of that is figured out thankfully - in fact, I think everything has shipped . I have not decided if I want to update my build thread now to show everything I have bought/ordered, or if I will wait until it is all on the car and kind of do a "grand reveal".....

The one thing I know I will get flack for is my tires, they are some cheap ass all seasons that came with my rims. The board elite will look down on those lol. But I AM going to be rocking reps, so clearly I am a budget minded man. I wish I could have afforded something like 18" TC105ns but I cannot. One day I may "upgrade" to Rota Titans IF they clear my new brakes.

Couple things I will say tho, based on my recent purchases

DSG Performance: CDN vendor out of Montreal[/edit] (that advertises and deals in $USD....lame), not great to deal with. Maybe if I was local, but he soured me with his up sales techniques in the past and his customer service just recently. My parents ordered me some JPM Coachwork parts from them for my birthday/Christmas and one item was incorrect. Zero support from them to get the parts exchanged . I figured it out, thankfully.

FT86 Speed Factory: Always awesome to deal with, and they proved that again when I contacted them about my JPM coachworks ordeal. They worked out a way better shipping price than what is posted on their website so I could afford to buy the correct part

@JPxM0Dz: Always awesome having someone like this guy in our province! He is a part of my JPM Coachworks fix, as he is going to be picking up the part I got gifted incorrectly. They money from that will go toward re-buying the right part.

Wheeldude: Great communication, especially when as I was dealing with them right around American Thanks giving. Price was ridiculous and while they may not be my IDEAL wheels, they will look great on the car, clear my new brakes and give me a better look on the road. I wanted torques but they were too much money and I feared Titans in 17" would look too small. I kind of regret the last call, but they do not sell Titans in hyper black..maybe down the road!

Grimmspeed: This is kind of a cool story. As some of you may know (as they announced this in the engine mod forum), Grimmspeed is developing a new intake for the twins. I half seriously offered to ship them my boxed up Airaid intake so they could study how not to f*** up an intake. Within a day I got a PM and they were more than happy to accept my offer! So I shipped it down to them and they were nice enough to let me look over their catalogue and pick out a few goodies in exchange! Sure I am still "out" cash because the intake was not cheap and I did pay to ship it to them but who cares! The box was taking up space in my storage, was very hard to sell (every offer I got in my sales thread was met with unresponsive PM's) and I got some items that will be useful to me come spring. Win win!

Yeah FT86 Speed is awesome! Bought my Fortune Coilovers from them including other various suspension parts and some JPM goodies. Just in the process of ordering a Cat Back from them right now!


Anyone looking for wheels, Ravspec is awesome also, got my WORKS from him and I believe he's out of New York


I thought DSG Performance was out of Montreal, I could be wrong ? Useless nonetheless. Claims to be Canadian but caters to the US more or less in regards to shipping. Just another middle man claiming to have great pricing and free shipping IF your in the lower 48. I'll take my business elsewhere and will continue to do so. He gave me a half a dozen quotes in the past regarding price, shipping and brokerage and I got a different quote every time on the same product and was higher each time

you are 100% correct, they are out of Montreal. I thought they were out of Vancouver because they/he claimed to be so close to Drift-Office (which is in Washington State...right below BC) But as you said, useless nonetheless.

Yes, Ravspec is also great!

Does that slammer shifter have a reverse lock out built into it? I may have to try it out and see how it feels this spring!

I might try out a flossy shift knob if those are 100 anyways. Anyone removed their headlights and painted the insides before or plan to?
