Looks absolutely amazing! Quick question, I noticed you have a carbon-fiber ram air scope, did you notice any difference in terms of power and fuel economy? Or do you recommend a cooling plate instead? thank you!

Bride Stradia Sport Japan arrived and installed + Sold the GReddy SE dual and installed a GReddy turbo TiC w/ Berk HFC.









Update 9.20.10 Decided i wanted to change things up, so i sold my Recaro and ordered a Bride Stradia Sport Japan. Scheduled to arrive in November. Sold my Tein SRC and picked up a set of Mono Flex in order to help fund the expensive seat. I miss the SRC already...take a look at the difference in quality between stock, Mono Flex and SRC (left to right). While the Mono Flex looks similarly built to OE suspension, the SRCs are on an entirely different level. Check it out.








Update 7.31.10 Woke up to a gloomy morning and my car was clean, so it was a perfect time to do a shoot!

nah didn't notice any power with the snorkel, but can't say that i would recommend a cooling plate either! haha this car is hard to make N/A power (and expensive to do so)

Is that a Modifry bracket inside your car?? What holder are you using on it to hold your phone and etc?? I've been trying to find one that fits on it and cant seem to find one... i think the modifry website was out of the ones that work with it.
