very nice bud. how do you like the rpm springs? i think those are gonna be my next mod? also how was the power increase with the tmic since im on the fence about getting one

 

[chiefmg]

Love the springs, nice drop and nice improvement in handling without destroying the stock struts/shocks. I especially liked that they were designed for the application.

As for the TMIC, it wasn't a huge increase but noticeable. I got mine used, still paid a few bucks because of the way the shroud is attached (it was a specially made unit) but a good deal in any case.

Now that I've read yours, I don't think I've ever spilled all my mod info either. Hmmm.....

 

[vrspeedemon]

Have til 11/10 or 20k til my magic date. My mod list is secret til then. Very impressive list you have there though.

errr, why do ppl keep mods a secret? till the big reveal? They wait till they are completely done with their list to reveal?

eh?

So the dealers can't find out what you have done and not warranty your car should something happen.

lol tru.

 

[chiefmg]

Okay, here's some pictures. I don't take pictures of everything as I install it, what would be the point as it's all the same? First one is shortly after I bought it.

 

[chiefmg]

And some more.

 

[chiefmg]

Oh, and the other reason to keep mods secret is if you are paranoid (not just about dealers!)...

Chief you should roll down to Louisville sometime for a meet.

I've thought about it a few times, but I am gone a lot so when home have a huge demand on my time. Hard to get away all day for something.
