Installed the S.t.r.e.e.t.U.n.i.t Motor Mount, HKS BoV, and Tinted rear reflectors.

The Mount is great, feels more solid and very little vibration added.

The BoV looks pretty, but pretty much seems the same as stock since I am running in recirc.

The Tinted reflector look nice, but that is about it.

I'll post up some pics today after work.

Oh, and tomorrow I am installing the TWM Short Shifter kit with bushings.

Wow you really are getting it done with the mods. Are you going to get the Cobb tuning unit when it's available to get some more HP? How many more mods until you sell the car when something else comes out?

No, I have no plans for Tuning yet. CPE has a unit and one other company, but I don't want/need that yet since I don't have a down pipe. That is where people are running into problems with fuel cut and need Tuning.

My next mod is the Test Pipe from SU that pretty much just gets rid of the 2nd cat. After that, not sure. I don't want to go too nuts...YET.

LOL...not gonna sell this one. I am actually gonna try to pay a car off first.

Sounds like you're really coming along. I've been kind of sitting around watching what these companies are gonna do for the car tuning-wise then decide what Ill be doing with my car. Rims are coming next month tho...

Thanks, and yes it will be interesting to see the results on tuning.

What ever happened with the FMIC project?

Ran into too many problems that required tuning. The car is just not ready to receive that much air without tuning, fuel cut problems and what not. So PG pretty much scrapped the project got there money back (I assume) from the garage that was making it and thats that. It makes sense that no companies are having much success with FMIC on our cars especially without tuning capabilities.
 
hey ryan we will have to race once i get the intake and exhaust manifolds and get my AFC tuned 10mph roll though lol FWD FTL!!

we will see who will win

Old HOTTNESS

That is a bummer. Hopefully someone will get the FMIC figured out.

Side note: I just had the TWM Short Shifter install, it's awesome!

Looks nice (thumb) is it worth it? I still havent even had time to do the clutch adjustment yet I would like to do that and get a short shifter at around the same time. I need to get a CAI soon also, I cant stand having a turbo car and not being able to hear it...lots of projects this year.
 
Yes, the short shifter is worth every penny. Also, do the clutch adjustment. It will take you 20 mins max and you will be pleased.

Let me know if you want a hand, or want to check out mine to see if you like it first. I hope that don't sound gayness.
