Wheels are 17's yes and running 10" rims in the rear. Boost gauge, temp gauge,
aftermarket oil pan, engine mounts, ss brake lines, front cross drilled rotors,
springs and shocks.


Mods to come:

Down pipe
Apexi power fc with commander
upgrade the rad
wide band
catback (as I don't like the one on the car)
and mod the airbox as I like the M2 look

but first a complete tune up, and fluid change.

Goal is to get around 350 to the rear with out doing to much.

I also run the SSR comps in 17's. I love them. Perfect match on the FD.

I know man, it has been awhile since I've been there or to b'ham to see everyone.
New house, school, and work has been keeping me busy. I will try soon before it gets cold.
Hey spread the word that my gsl-se is up for sale. I really want it to go local if at all possible.

Chad

That one actually looks like one that was for sale in NJ.

Good choice in color...

Great car Chad. Nice to see another FD in Mid Tenn. Are you going to the Speed For Sale event later this month? If so, we should hook up or see if we can get a mini-caravan going.

Man!!! All that waiting for the perfect car finally paid off!!! That is a beautiful car!!! I really need to make it home to finish mine up. We are going to have quite a few silver FD's in middle TN area. There is a guy in Clarksville that I ran into a few weeks ago that has an all original Silver with Red(so much for having the only one in Clarksville...ha) with only 23,000 original miles.

Gar,
I think the rear catback is an HKS one.
I still plan to swap it out soon for something I like.
