Thanks bro! I wouldn't mind going to Canada though. Being hot year round gets boring.

Thanks bro! Means a lot coming from you! Actually I think the next thing I'm going to do is re-spray my engine bay, and I've been itching to buy some seats. Cant figure out which one I want because I can't fit in the regular size ones lol.

So after some time, I was able to get back on the dyno and successfully get everything running great! Unfortunatly I was so happy that the car was running good I forgot to take a picture of the dyno sheet. (when I get a re-tune, I will take pictures).



Pic of the car at work.



I ended up getting the EVS single exhaust because I liked how its pretty quite until you get on it. I never liked really loud exhausts.



Took the car out to an Autocross event. The car didn't perform that well. Being on and off the throttle doesn't really work well with my ITBs, Im pretty sure its because the map reading is off when going on and off the throttle to much. (I guess). I didn't get any good times. But at least it sounded and looked pretty. Also, thank you Silentdancer for letting me borrow your magnetic number. But SCCA wouldn't let me run the number because it was already taken. So I had to improvise.




After the autocross event I realized I had to get new rear tires. I wanted something more stickier and I wanted to go more wider in the rear. The front tires were still at 8/32nds so I didn't want to change those. I ended up buying some RE-11's.

After a couple months of researching I decided to start on my wire tuck.







I made custom brackets to hold the fuse box up, and relocated the battery to the trunk.





After the ps was done I started on the ds, which was easier.





All done! The bay definitely needs a good detail. I decided to take out ac to make the bay look more cleaner. I eventually bought the CR serpentine belt and removed the compressor.
