WOW! I didn't expect this kind of response. Thanks guys much appreciated.

As for the "it's too big stuff", I had to replace the intercooler anyway because of my little mishap last summer.

Another thing, as my addiction to boost got worse last year and I kept increasing the boost to a max of about 22psi I saw my IAT's steadily increasing as well and I figure with running about 30psi next year I'm going to need something to help cool it down.

More pics of more toys? Be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day.

"Rome wasn't built in a day."



keep that philosophy before during and after your build and you'lle be all right. just take your time, work on it when u feel like it and it will come. no more rushing.

Full ems? Not hardly, well not this year anyway. Camron and I have manage to push the hpt/fmu combo to 11.0. I see absolutely no reason at this point for me to spend the money on an ems when my current setup is already proven. I've really not had any issues using the alpha-n that we have. I've been able to maintain pretty good afr's and everything else stays pretty much in check as well. However if I do have problems I will look into a standalone, but I just don't see it being needed at this point.

It would be completely pointless for the car to be done right now. 2 things...1.) It's too fricking cold out to accurately tune it. 2.) It's on storage insurance so I can't even drive it.

That's what I had on my 04. Don't want to copy that car.

Installed intercooler...



I think it looks fine w/ the base, thought it wouldn't look that great, maybe a little cutting and it'll look nice...

What? 22psi isn't enough? You're right 30 seems like much more fun.

Ok after putting the base on there and staring at it for the last few hours trying to figure out if I like it or not I've found myself in a bit of dilema. Yeah I like the base no frills look of my car, but it just doesn't seem right. Here is what I've been able to come up with for bumpers that appeal...







And of course...



Didn't post them in any particular order. This would be something I wouldn't do until May or so but I like to have plans for what if anything I might do. Input? Other suggestions?
