No lip for me. The car scrapes everywhere and it is a pain to drive but I can deal with it. Right now boost is limited to 12psi due to my still running strong bone stock tranny.

Wow that is sweet. I can just picture the sweet sound that comes out of that especially w/ the blow-off valve

I be rolling through the Bronx a few times to see family (Whites Plains RD). Where in the BX are you?

We should organize some meets when the weather gets better next year bro.

Car is sick!!

I've been thinking about getting one but it's not a priority right now. Maybe next year. I got bigger plans for winter.

How many guys does it take to flip a tire? Four I suppose judging from your pics..

Lowering a little more made all the difference, it looks so good slammed. Although I'm sure the NY streets can be a pain to deal with, but you can't have it all. Keep it low, it's so hard!

The tires were already done before I went to Queens lol. I was the only car there with three guys working and four alignment bays.

Immediate future plans include a manual swap. Still trying to source together all the parts needed and the swap should be completed before the winter is over.
