Very funny. But I mean is there really a need for full coilovers? Why not just shocks...

You mean springs?

I just wanted something I'm never going to grow out of. These will handle all I'll ever do with the car and then some. Also the adjustability will be nice to have, and be able to drop it a little. From what I hear jic is pretty decent stuff and for the price it was a pretty good deal IMO.

Wooo way to get ride of the crappy looking bumper. Keep it with a stock lip, I have never liked any of the aftermarket lips on these cars. Looking good so far though

Ah now I understand! Do it once lol. I just get a little curious when people drop a good amount of money when they don't really need to.

Pro-Sport boost gauge and Innovate WB installed.



Might get flamed for placement of wideband. But I really wanted it visible but out of the way, I'll only really use it for tuning.

Thanks! I don't plan on using it like I use the boost gauge(which is in my line of site while driving down the road)

This is just so that it is visible when/if I do need it. But it the only reason I really have the WB is to tune with it, so the gauge is kind of just a bonus. Not something I really will get much use out of.

I just really don't like a bunch of gauges sitting up top, and I already have an ECU data monitor in my upper DIN slot that I don't want to get rid of, and the CD deck on the lower DIN.

Here's a close up. It came out pretty clean, and I re-located the dimmer down to the lower section. On the second picture you can see the red LC-1 O2 calibrator button tucked underneath.

you will always need the WB! Don't say you won't use it ever. I'd get a double autometer steering wheel pod dude.

I'm not really a fan of having two gauges on the column. I hardly like the boost gauge being in the way.

Like I mentioned, it is clearly visible. I just don't have it directly in front of my face. If I get any knock or feel something might be wrong with the car then it takes but a split second to look at the WB. It's just tucked away lower so it doesn't stick out.
