i spent saturday and sunday getting my aem ems and wideband installed. i also had an intake pipe fabbed up to get rid of the lex afm. my buddy spent like 4 hours tuning my car so it runs and doesn't stall at lights. :)
we need some more tuning to get it perfect. i'm running out of fuel at 5k, so the walbro 255 is going in this week. i can't wait to get it just right.
btw, this 60-1 pulls hard right to redline. so much better than the stock ct26.

Yeah that's why I never really spray it on too thick. I'm definitely gonna have to give that stuff a try.

They actually had a pretty good method of getting the paint through the fins. I generally use my hvlp gun empty and turn the pressure up to at least 20 to 30 psi. The blow it through as I spray from the rattle can. Has always worked pretty good once I got the hang of it.

I will be running wider tires in the rear as soon as my tires come off of backorder status.

Why did you go with such a thin tire? I got 17x8 245/45 and 17x9.5 275/40 you can go wider.
Ive ran 35 series tires for 18s. I also used a tire calculator to keep it within spec so the speedo isn't off by much.

The car looks really good AJ! Any plans to get the windows tinted?

Also, does your car have a stubby antenna?
Yes. Plans for tint...soon....LoL. No stubby antenna. Just broken stock antenna.

Damn I was hopeful to have something a little cooler than a stock one since my spoiler keeps catching it. Spoilers only purpose is to keep the hatch from rattling while driving.

I'm going to pick up a new starter tomorrow I'm thinking of looking into a hidden amplified antenna. Then I can shave the oem hole from the car like I did my rear wiper (didn't work any way)

Nice, I think tinted windows really set a car apart. I was hoping it was a stubby antenna, because with my new radio my stock antenna goes up anytime the stereo is one even if I am listening to a CD. I haven't decided yet what I plan to do about it.
