Talking New mods done at jeffylube!

Finally got the mods installed this past weekend BIG thanks to jeff and nelson for helpin a brother out lol . This past wknd got the bbk, coilovers, new rear rotors, ss brake lines, replaced tranny/brake fluid and fixed the boost controller. Its pretty low right now and does rub some the front tires are thicker than stock so that makes the prob worse i need to get thinner front tires but overall i'm super happy with how it turned out. Only minor problem is the abs kicks on when i am slowing down at like a stop light or something hopefully that will go away but its no biggie.

I highly reccomend a bbk it works great going from 130-65 in a few seconds is awesome lol. Deffinatly freshens up the look of the car with the new mods.

I think Ill need a ride in the IS again, I need to remember what fast was like so it will motivate me to bring the 1j up to snuff. JeffyLube shirts might be good advertising, Id wear one.

Brian, you felt it hook in 2nd gear today. Was it fast enough? lol

And no, it's still not fast enough. Needs 35psi and some nitrous.
