    Well, First off, I just want to say I am terrible at updating these things, But I will do my best. Gunna have to dig deep in order to find pictures from the beginning. But ill get moving on that as soon as I get the chance, and hopefully have everyone up to date shortly!

    Alright I'm going to try to start out from as early as I can. Bear with me as getting pictures together has proved to be a challenge all in its own lol

    Nothing but a SRI installed!

    I decided to plastidip the wheels gold. And I liked it for a bit.

    Then I went through a sticker phase. Dont worry I'm out of that hahaha.

    Of course I had to figure out things to do to keep myself Occupied. Put in HID's Other than that I left it stock with just the SRI in it for about a year..
    [doublepost=1456777781][/doublepost] 12776909_1571556409834952_1971460759_o.jpg Picked up a set of Rays TS06 18x9.5 and did some test fitting. Had me a bit worried at first with the amount of poke at stock height.

    Here is what I could find of the air system install, obviously it was alot more involved than what is shown, But it was a great kit, and went in easy with no issues, Have about 20k on the kit and have had zero issues other than rubbing through a steel braided line with my wheel, which was my fault. Tons of work has been done since the install to get it to sit where I want it and drive the way I want it!

    Forgot to post how terrible it looked before I installed the bags. Stock height and wheel gap is hideous lol.
    [doublepost=1456781084][/doublepost] 12516303_1571561479834445_2063608550_n.jpg 12776656_1571556446501615_18265922_o.jpg 12788549_1571556469834946_344986627_o.jpg 12788749_1571561533167773_1622720258_o.jpg 12790226_1571556459834947_1734728930_o.jpg 12809923_1571556483168278_1966276796_o.jpg
    This was basically what it looked like before I went through and got it to sit the way I wanted it to. Most of these are immediately after Install of the Bags

    Of course my car is getting up there in miles, so a few months ago I decided to do a valve clean which it badly needed!

    12776793_1571561969834396_1848339047_o.jpg Then I had a nice lady in a jeep run me off of the road because she missed her on ramp. Gotta love these awesome seattle drivers. Luckily no damage besides my lip being ripped off, and vegetation underneath my car

    I had wanted to do a manifold for a while, And I had the flanges sitting around so I decided to go for it
    12782153_1571564053167521_2127843548_n.jpg 12804210_1571564989834094_2047657042_n.jpg This was the first version, Had some issues with fitment, as it was too tall to get past the firewall, could have possibly worked if I removed the engine, But i wanted something that could be installed with much more ease.
    12735624_10207793683954236_1115920798_n.jpg 12722161_10207793398987112_56806665_n.jpg As you can tell V2 is obviously much more compact. Went in with zero issues, A few little things to change for future models, however fitment is perfect!
    12787606_1571565133167413_767618607_o.jpg Out with the ugly stocker and in with the new.
    12789895_1571565026500757_136865735_o.jpg 12784802_1571565186500741_867955104_n.jpg 12767702_1571565173167409_35688105_n.jpg 12767620_1571565159834077_1399535695_n.jpg
    Finished product looks great and turns heads. Cleaned up the engine bay, with noticeable spool differences and sound.

    The Engine bay has went through its share of changes, Gotta say, I like where it sits now, Needs some changes, Turbo time will hopefully be right around the corner, Supporting mods are out of the way. Meth and BT ill be happy. For a while.
