I love this setup. It has symmetry, and it just looks clean. It looks like you are a deserving owner, your car looks well taken care of.

I hope you weren't feeding the birds.

Actually, of all things, my car runs cooler with the FMIC. Because i reinstalled the undertray! lol Intake temps are down but as soon as the engine is warmed up, they are still up there.

Nice car. Just wondering why do the intercooler pipes bend like that? It looks very cool but what about just going straight to the intercooler would that make the car faster? Of course you'de have to relocate the battery and take out the airpump.

take your brothers fuel pump and crank the boost!

The car looks beautiful. Should be fast as hell when you can crank the boost up a bit with the new fueling.

You forgot to list:
AST deletion
Rims

Looks very sharp man, very nice .

Sometimes I wish I had a damn sunroof. Only thing about the R1 that I don't like. One question on the battery.....is that sucker zip-tied in there?

yeah, my battery is zip tied in there! lol pretty strudy for now.

actually the AST is between the the two IC pipes. It is lowered but it works just fine. That is custom work because of the battery.

The rims are Mille Miglia 17s I didnt put those on.

I have the boost up to about 1 bar but i need more fuel! I accidentally hit 97 percent injector duty! I have been driving a little more carefully now.lol

I also just installed a Gotham Racing power fc commander holder.

Also consider getting that alternator polished. I had mine rebuilt at the same time and I love the way it looks

I should polish it as soon as the car dies for any reason. I have some sort of pride knowing that there is about 10hrs of my time invested into polishing.

The blitz is a sharp IC setup. Goodfellas l love your setup, your is definately a smart way to make a FD function, but seeing the IC pipes disappear to the front grill is pretty cool. I think i lose some functionality for a good looking setup.

Your car will probably last longer than mine with all of your reliablilty mods.

Montego Blue is so awesome! It looks green there but in high sunlight BAM! The blue shows right up.

I use the Liquid Glass auto polish. I don't have time but I have put about 4-5 coats on and the paint looks wet and well.. like Glass!

I always buff after it with a damp and dry cloths. I am amazed at how that brings out those annoying streaks.
