Default Back to basics....

Well the car is some what back to OEM status. Then I decided to put all these parts I had sitting in my garage to use since we may move in the near future.

Huge thanks to Gytis for an awesome job on painting my GFX parts. Really impressed how it flows with the body lines of the car and I actually like the car with the 5 star OEM rims. Another new addition is the 4-pot BBK to match the 6-pot fronts. Few more things to install yet but she does look good cleaned up!

I know I havent been out as much recently for a few reason. Glad I made it to a meet this year but of course no one shows up. It was still nice to see a few people that I havent in a while.

Okay on to some pics.

New Rear BBK:

Now the sub has me thinking? What kind of music does he listen to that benifit a sub? Haha. Car looks good...I've always said that 06 OEM wheel is one of the best looking OEMs. Why no full shot? Did you go to the meet at Mcgrath yesterday?

I did, I'm sure Henry will post pics. Not sure what pics he took yesterday but I believe he was the only one with a camera.

Its in the garage and I was lazy to back it out. I think I want to lower it just a tad in the front. Rear is sitting perfect and the front is off maybe 1/4 if that. Pulled in my driveway with out rubbing from the McGrath meet so that was nice. More DD friendly for sure.

rear sub enclosure is 4080. Fits like a glove. I have his email if you want one for the F.

I love Mike's GS, especially the BBK kit. It makes my Front's (especially the rear's) look way too small in comparison. The Rear Calipers and rotors are massive. Everything is top notch.
