LOVE those Advan GTs. Those are on the short list for me. Any idea what kind of power increase have you had with the AEM?

Nice car! Congrats on a nice build.

Those are one of the best wheels out now for a GS I think, the tte lip goes great with that rear spoiler.

Thanks! The AEM is a bit tricky to deal with but I haven't dynoed it yet to test power, I'll be tuning it a bit more soon once I take it off the road for the winter...

Thinkinga bout switching to the FIC/8 or a standalone setup, I actually run some AEM fue controller that probably does nothing to the car, Ah tuning, I love it!

Thank you very much, Suspension rides perfect, Always wanted to go Teins but heard mixed reactions, So i went to yellowspeed and never looked back, These coilovers are the BEST! They ride perfect, I've never hit bumpstops and I've been commuting on 495 for years now with no issue, highly suggest any yellowspeed bits, And the cusco strut bars really make the car feel different contrary to the belief on the opinions on strut bars.

Thank you very much, I still have mixed feelings about the TTE lip, I really love the stock front bumper but I think I'll keep it for now.

It's basically an ancient fuel controller, I've switched to AFC NEO and it's alright, probably going to swap to a full standalone setup soon, I'll post about it if I go ahead and spend more money I don't have...

Thank you! Yeah the car has PPE Headers to a full catless downpipe to an x-pipe, Resonators, and cutouts, After the cutouts I have 2 more resonators and Apexi Mufflers to top it off, Its a 2.25" system.
