Very nice, congrats. What exhaust tips are those?

 

Wow, thanks everyone for the nice reception and all the positive comments. I'm really enjoying the seat time in the new ride. Nothing as much fun as when those turbos kick in!

Wanted to answer some of the questions that were posted:

How do you like that Alpine unit? I'd like something with bluetooth, satellite radio, and touch screen?[/QUOTE]

The Alpine unit is really good. It has all the features you listed and more. Navigation, Ipod, phone integration, steering wheel controls... It is a couple of years old. I researched it and found that are at least two later models. I really like the way it has that factory look. Drawback, you can't access some of the features of the Sport Chrono package. Nothing big, and the settings were already set where I would have set them, before the OEM unit was removed. Maybe some of the more experienced members can chime in with the details of what the OEM unit and Chrono package control...


Thanks! Already set up to get GIAC and AWE exhaust next week...Bought the LED driving light conversion, just need some time to install.


Yes, Basalt Black. Looks black anytime there is not direct sun on it. In sunlight, it has a nice dark grey metallic look. Seems a little easier to keep looking nice compared to some black cars I've had in the past.


Thank you. Fabspeed tips from VividRacing. Black chrome I think. I like the color; doesn't show the dark build up like chrome...


Thanks again for the warm welcome guys. Glad to be here.

 

Glad to see you jumped right in You'll have to post some pictures up after.

 

Car looks great! Super clean! Cant wait to see how far the mod bug takes you! Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks. Life is too short to wait around! Gotta jump right in.


Thanks Mod. The only other thing that can see happening anytime soon is some suspension improvements. I was thinking of upgrading the swaybars. I don't want to get carried away because the roads were I live are not great. It's just that the car feels slightly "boaty" (body roll). Not as tight as some other P-cars I've had. I've set the camber to -1.2 (max) front and -1.8 rear...

Not intersted in lowering the car at all.

Any opinions/reccomendations?

ECS, and anyone else, please feel free to chime in...Is it possible to tighten it up a bit without sacrificing the ride quality altogether?

Thanks

 

A lot of people love the feel of the H&R Sway bars. The H&R Sport Sway Bars increase your suspension’s roll stiffness—or its resistance to roll in turns—while maintaining ride comfort and dramatically increasing cornering control, lateral stability, and grip. The unique feature of H&R Sport Sway Bars are the smooth, machined-like forged ends that, for specific vehicles, allow for adjustability in stiffness—giving you an unmatched level of precision and performance.
