If...exuse me WHEN I get another one, it will probably be an MM with black interior.

Beautiful ride. Enjoy it.

I'm running the fronts right in the middle ( setting 15 out of 30 ) and the rears at setting 12. I'm used to somewhat stiff cars, so I prefer the ride to be a little tighter ( thus my selection of 16/12k Swift springs).

Thanks for all the compliments - I'm enjoying the F as a DD.

The F looks great! I was fortunate to see your SC in person at the JM Lexus meet and I think I spotted your F at the Lexus of Pembroke Pines meet. Im looking forward to another sick build!

Congrats on the F! I'm very interested in hearing how your GT-R build goes (miss mine). 2013 in stock form was nearly as fast as my tune only so I can only imagine what the Alpha Package will do. Been tinkering with the idea of another GT-R and at least doing an E85 conversion obviously with tune. Correct me if I'm wrong (as its been awhile) but that Alpha 9 is set up for E85, right? I'm assuming you're on nagtroc? Haven't been over there in awhile, but my car was in the 2012 nagtroc calender for the month of November.

Yes, I'm on NAGTROC too - TeesGTR. The Alpha 9+ set-up can be any fuel, but results with the set-up I'm going with have been making 820 awhp on pump 93 and just over 900 on race gas. I have not witnessed any E85 numbers on the Alpha 9+ as of yet, but I would have to have a robust fuel system (at least 2 Walbro 485's and ID2000's along with a bigger fuel rail) to run E85, so that will come later. Looking forward to getting the GTR back.

A good friend of mine (a member on here), just picked up a '12 BE GT-R Saturday. He's selling his '10 GT-R. So I went back over to nagtroc today and noticed that Speed by Design seems to be putting out a good product for little money. Not quite on par with the Aplha 9, but 600awhp for $4k is a great start. Theyre also doing the E85 conversion. Looks like they're working on a sbd850 package with upgrade turbos, FMIC, ect. The best part is they're less than 2 hours from me and have had great reviews. Now I just need to get in another car and get busy.
