Current Mods:
Ion Stage 1 FMIC, MAM turbo Manifold, Ion Street Spec 3in.TB Exhaust no catalyst, Greddy Type RS BOV, Generic MBC, Greddy Boost Gauge, Ron Davis Racing Radiator, Colder plugs, Eibach Sportlines, 17in. Rota Attacks, Clear corners, dark tint.

In the Works:
Replacement FS engine, Splitsecond AFC

It also no longer has the CF hood or grill. I bought the car with problems and blew the engine up on my way home after purchase. The original owner did not tune it at all with all the extra mods and also up'd the boost from 7 to 13.5psi that way! I will have the replacement engine back in the car and proper tuning within a month, I waiting on the clutch though.

Received the clutch so I should be getting it together next week. This weekend I'll be at HIN otherwise I'd be working on it.

Well the car is now sold to a guy in New Jersey. He's coming to pick the car up in November. I'm going to miss it but this is an opportunity to get something I really want. I might replace it with a Kawasaki Z-1000 for next summer. We'll see. I'm also looking into getting a WRX to do a EJ25 swap.
