You and me both man, I will be going in sooner than expected because of mock ups and other things I plan on doing to it. Can I drop my car off for paint at your workplace?

Is not too hard, you have to remove the radio, the vents above the radio, glove box, lower knew panels/trim pieces on both sides, remove the cd changer to get to the wires you need to disconnect, center shift bezel, ash tray, gauge cluster and instrument panel. I think its easier to remove the center console as well to give you play when removing the dash. Remove the steering wheel, you need to also unscrew the steering wheel tilt switch, light switch and wiper switch (if you don't you could possibly break your light switch and wiper switch when removing the dash). Once you remove all that you have to pull towards you to remove the dash from the 3 clips holding it close to the windshield side.

I hope this all helps.

I am doing a partial part out of my tan interior I don't need, trunk, taillights, and other parts. I will try to post something either here or somewhere else. There are other parts that I couldn't fit on the picture. So please ask me what you need and I'll let you know if I have it and if I am selling it.

Thanks

Part out the bottom leather cover from the passenger seat if it is in good condition? Good meaning no rips, tears, scratches, etc. Basically 9/10 condition assuming no one sits in that seat.

depends on your power goals you will reach your HP max on a na-t setup much quicker

I went Aristo swap because I have more wiggle room on HP goals another reason I am switching transmissions as well. I want to have a lot more wiggle room on HP/WHP on engine and transmission. Find what your goals are and then lab towards it, it's fun getting to the point of knowing what you want. It constantly changes for me I know that much. I'm sure for others it happens as well.

Its my daily and I dont want to go too crazy. With that being said, my last turbo car was supposed to be a bolt-on street car and the next thing I know I was building the motor. I know what 500whp/500tq feels like in an Evo. I figure to get the same feeling in the heavier GS I need to think around 600-700whp. NA-T or Aristro swap would have me in line eitherway down the road. The decision for me comes down to transmission. Built A340 or R154.

Not trying to be rude to Leo's thread so I won't keep commenting/jacking his thread but if your shooting for those numbers I will say start off with a aristo swap and go single or even aristo swap with BPU's is lots of fun. I think in the long run you will be happier. Do lots of research and look up jeff tsai he has done a lot with na-t ge motors and he can lead you in the right direction on how much your looking to spend to gain those numbers
