I GOT IT AND I LOVE IT!!!

Here's some pics I took this morning. It's covered in bugs.

The fingerprints on the snorkel are from me doing a boost leak check. The only leak is in the throttle linkage on the throttlebody and it's VERY minor. Just a barely audible hiss... I'll address it but not for a while

On a closed course in controlled conditions on the way home I ran into a 350Z. Pulled him pretty good from about 60. Not what i expected at all. It feels much slower than my SRT-4 but i was plesantly surprised to be able to get away.

After all of my mods, a stock Evo looks very inticing indeed..

I think he was looking for something that doesn't take off and try to get airborne on you.

Ya I wanted a stock one. Doing the work is half of the joy of ownership for me. Also, I'm going to go more of the track route. 300-350 WHP although the 2.3 sure would be nice on an autocross.

Only if you don't mind running in like A Modified or wherever that would put you. But that's another thread.

I'm glad you like it. Looks like the drive home was fun. I wish we could have met. oh one more thing I didn't launch the car. I figured I'd let you abuse the clutch.

The clutch is rediculous. If it's stock i'm SUPER impressed. I thought the guy was just saying it was replaced. I went out the other day in the rain so it wouldn't be as hard on the car and launched it for the first time. It was insane.
