Borla Update!

Venturi and the Resonator have been installed. What a difference! When I cruise you can't notice it. When I give it gas the beast sound of the Borla comes out! I'm loving it!

Innovative LC-1 Update!

Man, I had many issues with it and it finally died on me. Most issues was trying to get it to work. Only worked for a while. Finally ripped it out of my car. I was able to connect to it using the laptop and kept getting error code 2 even with a new wideband installed and everything. It was just fustrating.

After doing much research I hear that the best one to get to use with EvoScan is Zeitronix Zt-2. I also heard that the AEM Uego is really good but for my use I think the Zeitronix Zt-2 will be better.

So I'm planning to get the Zeitronix Zt-2 and ZR-2 Wideband / Boost / EGT Gauge Package. As always I will keep you guys updated.

First off, sweet car.

Second, I'm looking into the Borla, but I'm worried about it being too loud with cops and drone (most of my commute is 60-80 mph highway driving). I'm only doing the catback with everything else stock, so I know it won't be as loud as yours was, but if I do need the Venturi or resonator, how/where are they installed?

Thanks!

The Venturi goes between the muffler and the Y part. The resonator goes between the cat and the borla muffler, Your setup will be a lot quietist than mine. I don't see any issues. I pass cops a lot and they don't say anything to me. I had the work done at a shop as they had to weld the parts. Borla sent me the Venturi for free. Just call them :-)

Transmission Update

Sorry for the long delay! Been crazy busy and I just got my car back. So here is what happened.
My insurance covered my transmission and I decided to go with upgraded clutches (SSP 500).

Now no more clutch slipping

Mod Updates!

I had Kozmic install my Evo X turbo, AMS DP, Bomba Fuel Rail, Evo X spark plugs, ETS Air Intake, AMS Small battery kit, FID Front motor mount, 1100 CC FIC injectors, Evo X Exhaust Manifold, Grimmport EBC, MAP Evo X Fuel Pump Install Kit w/ DW300, and MAP AFPR Hose Kit w/ Turbosmart FPR. They did this at the same time they did the clutch upgrade. I'm not sure if i'm forgetting anything but I believe everything is listed.

Car is making amazing power. I'm really happy!!!
I try to run on E85 when I can (only one gas station here has it and it's out of my way ) but I can easily switch to 91 and remap the vehicle by putting it on the on position and holding down the gas pedal. If cruise control is blinking im on E85. 91 is the highest octane we have here in El Paso.

I attached of my before mod and after mod Dyno!

Tires Update!

Tax return coming soon and I need new tires. Which means new rims

This is what I plan to get:
XXR-522 18x9.5 Chromium Black
Yokohama S. Drive 265/35 R18

I want my tires to last longer then some of the options that are out there and that why i'm not going with RE-11 or something similar to that. I might even change it to something that is 265/40.

I will also be going to the field in May and hope to bring my car to the body shop and finally get it all done.

Offset is +25 and I'm lowered. I have BC Racing Coilovers w/ Swift spring.
I can't go any lower or I can't go up my drive way, lol.
I have a widebody kit on my ralliart.
