I really can't wait to start messing with it.

So are you going to literally convert your AP1 to an AP2? I know you have the body done and you've mentioned the F22 swap. That would leave the suspension.

Installed the wideband today. It was by far the easiest wiring I've ever done. Now it just needs to be wired into the harness when I install the EMS.

HKS coilovers and Megan toe arms are installed. Try to get some pictures after I get it aligned.

She's aligned. I tried to go with the Euro Spec alignment with -2 up front. The front actually maxed out at -2(lucky me) but I couldn't get the front caster on one side to go anywhere above 4.5*. Ether way my brother adjusted it, the less it would yield, while the other could easily get up to 6*. Anyone ever have this issue?

She feels like a go kart now and turns in very quick. However, I did a quick spurt to 100mph and ether the road was bad(it wasn't the best) or the new set-up is scary at higher speeds; kind of wobbly feeling from minimal steering input. I'm gonna try messing with the dampening tomorrow along with getting you guys some pictures. Coilovers make her look 100% better.

Everyone that rides in my car is amazed at the handling and that's just around town. I still need to stretch her legs though.

After a fresh wash today.

Some updates on the S. I've jacked up the front and the rubbing is on the inside and outside. It's minimal so I'm going to raise the front up some to hopefully get rid of it. I'm also going to lower the rear some sense I don't like the stance with the out of the box settings. Going to probably do this Monday or Tuesday.

I also installed this yesterday. Smoother shifting and throttle response seems to be improved. Still need to install the EMS.

keep up the modding single exhaust cap to clean up that rear bumper.
