I ordered some new mufflers today and they should be here on Thursday. I can't wait to put them on.

i'm hoping to check out a wheel repair shop this week about refinishing my SSR's. That should hold me off until my new wheels arrive in a few months.

Had a windshield chip fixed before it became much, much more with this frigid weather.

Started it for the first time in months. Ran it for a good while. Poor thing has been being neglected but it'll be driven now. Started right up!

^^ Haha I looked at mine today and needless to say decided to order the DM bushings lol

Got tired of all the snow driving on low pro's with no traction so, bought four Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires for the rear in 255/45/18 lol.. BIG tires but with having 2 installed now and a spare set just in case, I'm never going to need snow tires again lol..

I put on my custom taillights. My new muffler should arrive today so I can get them put on today. One of them got lost by UPS but luckily I was able to get a new sent with overnight shipping.

Installed N20 NOS power shot!

Temporarily ran a 35 Shot for today just to pressure test the line and see how it responded. There was a very noticeable difference in power 2nd gear strong and 3rd it really wants to more death

I have no other mods, the car is completely stock as to why i will be running only a 50 shot until I get my headers and electronic cut out installed and fab a cold air intake up. new plugs, fuel pump.

Once i have done all that ill push for the 100/125 shot and some tuning with some retarding

My car also has 156,456 miles on it, so im taking some precautionary measure as it is my daily. total cost of setup nitrous power shot 458 and i had to buy a new fuel line to tap into.

small overview of how i ran the line. Ill create another thread tomorrow in the performance section.

I got my LED fogs put in. I was hoping they would be brighter but they still look good. I also lowered the car some more.

It used to be. I kind of neglected the car after getting my LS430. I'm just now putting the SC back together and make it car show ready.

It's seen better days but I may do a build thread this summer. Be on the lookout for it.
