    Thanks man.

    Waiting on the weather to stop being such a bitch then it will get control arms and new bushings all around. after that, new power steering pump and reservoir, then time for mods.

    sat in one of these at the car show. The rear visibility is terrible. Car looks great, but seems like you'd want to see out of the rear window.

    Just bought stoptech pads, slotted rotors and goodridge stainless brake lines. Waiting till those show up, then will tackle the energy suspension bushing sets I have to firm up the front and rear upper and lower control arms, plus install new front upper control arms with ball joints, and front lower ball joints.

    Should tighten everything up nicely.

    Following that I have a power steering fluid leak to chase down, should be either the line somewhere, the reservoir or the pump, as the entire rack is new. After that, it's time for go faster parts.

    That number seems high. Though if it goes for that, I guess mine's worth more by extension?

    It was time to wake up the summer car finally. Pulled it out of the garage, changed the oil, and replaced the sketchy brakes. I went with stoptech pads and rotors, and after bedding them in the brake feel was worlds better than it was when I put the car away.

    Put about 75 miles on the car, it felt great to drive it again.

    Paint the calipers with the POR15 kit in black. Matches the stoptech stuff really well from personal experience.

    I'd keep them the color of the wheel.. Tape it off and paint it.. Looks like all i can get is hyper black. So, it would work ;)

    no honest interest in a 'street' car with that much horsepower. I like being able to use the car in turns too.

    Too quiet to bother with a sound clip which is what I was going for.

    Car looks great, but I hate how bolt on exhausts hang on these things. When I had mine I had to get the muffler tucked up into the bumper better. They do sounds great though with a divorced dp, catless and a 3" catback!

    it might be the angle of the photos but it looks really good in person (IMO).
