Had to make a run to autozone today for some new wipers, pb blaster and liquid wrench so I decided to open the car up a little more on a small stretch 2-3psi you cant really feel but once it hits 5 its a WHOLE different ball game!

Top was 5.27 PSI =D

I wont be pushing past that till we finish tuning. Im waiting on the meth before we do a tune. The A/F's are in check and seem to be good, but I'm gonna take it easy for now.

I also need new tires in the rear becuase when i hit 5 my trac light went off LOL

Not much going on with the car lately. Just tuning it here and there and enjoying the boost.

I started detailing the car yesterday. After I washed it there was so much grime and crap stuck to the paint. I had to clay bar the entire car which took a few hours.

I still need to spend time on the side with all the damn overspray or whatever it is on there. The clay bar is doing a great job of getting it off, but its gonna take a bit of time and elbow grease.

After that I'm gonna take it to a body guy and have him take care of the two or 3 dings here and there, paint my front bumper and give it a nice polish and wax.

Amazing. Thats commitment. I'm moving in August and I plan on starting my very own project. Finally have own a house with a garage. In Atlanta I park in a parking deck.

Can't wait to see the finished product

7lbs at the moment. Once I install the meth and get the tranny solenoids in + upgrade the exhaust ill be able to go higher. I kept it stock which is why it spools slowly. Theres an 11 psi spring in there now.

That o2 sensor made a WORLD of difference. The car has stopped guzzling gas and it is pulling WAY harder on the highway. I got my solenoids and I'm going to put them in on my next day off. Then its finally off to the dyno!

I was bored yesterday so I decided to wash the car and clean up a little. My engine bay is still dirty but i'm sending out a few pieces to get polished up. TB, Intake manifold, turbo housing and probably the strut bar.

Still need to get the body work done as well. I put on some new tires the other day and it really fills out nicely. 275/35/18. I'm getting my front wheels hopefully this week. I may go 285/35/18 when I buy a full set of new tires.

Teh front bumper is teh suckz. I'm gonna get a new one as well.

Thanks. Yea I'm working on getting the new bumper. Still torn between doing a 97+ kit or vertex. With these NYC roads... I dunno. I may end up getting my CF hood before anything else.

Just went to pick up my front wheels. Gonna clean them up tomorrow morning and take some more pics.
