^ Thanks! I still feel like a n00b with this camera though. I don't use Auto on but learning slowly lol.
When I washed my car Friday morning, i was in such a rush to get out the door, I forgot to wash the exhaust tips. The rims are a PITA to clean so I was so focused on those that it slipped my mind to clean the tips.
I do need exhaust but that will have to wait maybe 2-3 more months. Since Oct, I've dumped a few thousand into her pretty quick between the rims, tires, CT intake, stereo and KSports that I haven't put on yet. Wife is making me take her to Vegas in a couple of weeks because I've been spending all my time and money on the car.
Was hoping for a dry weekend because I also went down to the graffiti wall on Friday but didn't have a chance to take any pix because everybody was at work in that building and the wall was blocked.
Oh well, looks great today, got project stuff to work on at work today and tomorrow but if it stays clear, I feel a "work from home" day coming.

I'm already on springs and she looks decently low with the stock wheels. I was kinda shocked how much the 19's made it raise up. I'm looking to slightly tuck the wheels and make it flush all the way around.

I keep you in mind for sure on the help. I'm planning a shop day at my buddy's house since he's got a complete garage. Can't wait to put the coilovers on though.

There's a gas station on Auburn Way that sells race fuel. 100 octane and above. There's also a place I used to take my Audi to in Auburn that serves 95 octane. Never used race fuel in a non-turbo'd car so interested in your results. My Audi was programmed to run 95-98 octane.

That would be great. I am planning on switching over to the 10lb boost pulley soon and wanted to see if it made any difference with 100 octane. The northend is way better for me.

Anyone want to set up a time and date to use the Dyno. I might be able to get a discount rate if I bring some people with me. I am planning on in the next few weeks. I want to switch my pulley over now that the weather is getting nicer.
