Default Added a couple mods

I arranged for Mr Sabo to do some work on my car while I was on vacation. This was about the only reason I felt like returning home.

The first is not so noticeable in the picture, but he installed PSS9's, set to a moderate drop. I've only had a few rides so far, but am very impressed with the dampning. Have them set currently on the middle of 9 settings, and seems like a pretty good tradoff. I'm looking forward to expermenting with some different settings. They leave about 1.5 to 2 finger witdths between tires and lip.


Second is some under hood work. First I installed the Science of speed hood dampners. Easy install, quality product, with an extra mounting point for stability. Next, the Password JDM intake, cooling plate, and some other bling. Certainly, you either love or hate the look. I personally love it. It was a pain to install, as expected. Props to Mr Sabo on the work. Seems to have opened up the engine noise slightly, seems a little more free to rev. Not loud, not a radical change.


I'll be at Mid Ohio if anyone wants to see in person

I like the look. Both the slight lowering and the Under Hood bling. Hope you get some GO along with the Bling for that intake though. Now you just need the "Puzzle Piece" covers in CF to complete the under hood look.

I think it looks great .... I love(d) my PSS9's and I'm sure you will feel the same ..... now you just need a Strut bar so you have something to lean on under the hood

Looks good... I'm surprised there isn't 15 coats of wax under the hood as well

Thanks for the kind words.

I went into the intake mod with my eyes open, and am not really concerned about getting X amount of added power, so I probably won't dyno. I'm not convinced that there is an accurate way to do it. Lots of debate out there.

I am however, curently trying to find out what sealant/wax to put on dry carbon fiber. I will take any suggestions
