I'd never get a 9 lol

Coming from the Euro scene I couldn't hate electronics more. Not having acd and mivec are two less things for me to think about.

Small update
I got my new sparco ergo seat mounted.
Simply awesome seat to say the least, just need to get the harness installed.

Got my fp manifold back from curt as well.


Also mounted my grimspeed master cylinder brace. Very cool piece.

Looking good! I like that valve cover fitting, I'm thinking about getting the fitting that STM sells and install it in my valve cover.
I'm jealous of the transmission and TC

Beautiful crank, it was one of those things I didn't need. This car will stay under 8k rpm and will not see any drag time.
