    Made myself a boost leak tester to try and figure out why I'm idling at 20 ish AFR. Put some heavier springs in my BOV and got it down to 17 but still not at the 14.8 I want. I can ear air leaking out between the JMF and the head. Guess its time to get rid of the TIG's

    Finished up lowering the coils yesterday, and finally got the rear's on Wednesday night. New-ish (bought slightly used) suspension is so nice hahaha...

    Birthday Corksport $ spent. Installed the other day in 45 minutes it's so much better than OEM. Wow.

    been eyeing it since it came out. When I had my first car, I had a Grant wheel (old VW) and I remembered the feeling of driving changed. I had some $ saved, plus a lot of birfday $ to make it happen. It's weird how much different it is to drive. Add to the new tires (Pilot Super Sports), I think this year's ENM will be a lot more fun.

    Awesome. I've never thought about another steering wheel. That's nice that it's plug and play though. I know typically racing wheels are a nightmare

    Oh dude, I know! this thing is basically remove, swap stuff, reinstall. The instructions were so detailed I did not have to do any other steps or have tips. @Barett@CorkSport writes up some good instructions.
