Been doing a TON of work over the last 2 months. School has kinda slowed it down, but hey that is cool with me! One more semester left and i'm done!

anyways. some updates.

Well... The car is almost ready for the street. What i've done recently is completely swapped out all arms with urethane bushings. Installed koni race structs and GC coilovers. 1.8 sport brakes with carbotech pads and SS lines. New ball joints and tie-rods. Installed front lip and SCCA Tow hook. Installed kirky seat, sparco wheel and NRG hub. Installed a Harddog Roll bar.

Whats next? well... My z06 air intake should be here monday, i'll see about making that fit. I need to do an oil/spark plug change. I need to order a catch can and make that system happen. Then last I'm getting my exhaust redone and a tune. Hopefully all of this by the end of Jan. One Thing i do need to do but it isn't "bad enough" is change the oil pan. Its leaking and I dont know where. I HATE LEAKS. even small ones.

oh well, here are some pictures I took tonight.

well I'm getting to finishing all the little stuff.. I need an intake and refuse to use the typical Header sucking heatakes...which btw will reduce a ton of WHP not just by temps, but by the high IAT's forcing the ECU to pull timing.

Grabbed a corvette snorkel, which mean't bring the grinder out.

those two black lines are where i'm going to cut for temp clearance...getting a bar welded in there to reinforce the area though. Probably use the FM bar.

this is mandatory.

Nice. I need to do that to mine too as I have the worst intake set up on the planet. Where are you putting the mass air flow? Right at the throttle body?

Any chance you can join us at mitty?

Does that filter pull from the end also? Seems a bit small.... (but maybe just the angle)

What is mitty? and I'm running speed density, no mass air. Runs perfect.

Yes, its pulling from center too. We'll see if its too small by what the dyno says in a few weeks.

recent pics. with hardtop too now.
