I haven't updated this thing in a while so I figured I would get to it. I have been really busy this winter with other people's projects. I painted Cory's dads race car and I am in the process of rebuilding a 450hp Evo 8 that went through a ditch and a couple of fences and over a road at 120mph. In the process of doing all this it has given me money for my car! Around Christmas time I bought an APR Carbonio intake for my car which are really freaking nice. In February I bought a set of Ksport fully adjustable coil overs for my car. The guy who owns the Evo I have been working on bought me my wheels and tires so i didnt have to spend a dime on those! I also bought a 3" stainless down pipe for the car but left the stock muffler on so its not to loud. I am sending my ECM out in the beginning of next week to have an APR tune out on it so hopefully I will be around 275hp and 300ft lbs of torque.

Here is my stock intake next to my APR one.

I wish I got better photos of these but the come with camber plates and have 38 ways of being able to adjust the dampening. The other cool part is you adjust the height by the bottom of the strut and not the spring so it rides pretty good.

Here is my 3" down pipe in the car. It deleted two cats off my car.

Got my wheels and suspension on. I am going to let the springs break in before i lower it anymore. Cory did alignment on my car and the front and rear have about 2.5 degrees in camber so this thing should be an autocross machine.

Here are some more photos of my car. The bad thing is it may be just me but I don't think my car is a photo friendly car. It looks really good in person but when I look at pictures I don't think much of it, but that maybe just me!

I also think I am going to spray the rockers and lower part of the rear bumper red soon so it looks lower

I sent my ECM off to APR to get a 91 octane tune thrown in it. I picked the perfect week to do it to because APR has there spring sale so I was able to get a stock, 91, 93, 100 octane tune and a trouble code eraser all for the price of one tune. I sent my ECM off on Monday over nighted to APR and had it back Wednesday afternoon. I installed it and it made a HUGE difference. This thing is a little monster! Our first autocross race is this Sunday so we shall see how it does!
