Thanks for the support! If I have 50K to spend on a car, and so long as I take care of my other financial obligations, why hate on me? Bottom line is this: my wife and I are very happy with the car and have no regrets.

I think that, in order for peepz to truly appreciate my car, they have to see it in person. Pix can only do so much. From the dozens of people who have seen it in person thus far...I got nuttin but propz.

Thanks for the propz! I did a couple of things myself (i.e., blue silicon hoses, cleaned the engine bay (LOL!), etc.). I am not very mechanically inclined. Therefore, I prefer to pay the professionals to do the work.

I don't think my o2 sensor is hooked up. My check engine light is on and the CEL has to do with the o2. I am havin a DCRH installed so the o2 wouldn't be there anyways. Since I have K-Pro I can simply disable the OBDII.

Right now I am runnin the stock kal on K-Pro. OBDII sensor is currently enabled, which is why my check engine light is on. I have an appointment with Church's Dyno on September 2nd. At that time Sean Church is going to custom tune my ECU (to include disabling the OBDII) and then dyno my car.

It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers I put down with:

AEM CAI
DCRH
2.25" crush bent exhaust piping
K-Pro

Best dyno I have seen with pretty much the same modz is mine was 206 whp. Biggest difference is this person had #4 and I have K-Pro. I would expect K-Pro to be able to yield a couple more hp than #4 with this setup.

What do you think?

My car is at the body shop this week and I am supposed to get it back tomorrow afternoon. Next Monday or Tuesday it is going back to the "swap shop" to have a AEM CAI and DCRH installed. Once those parts have been installed my car is going to some custom muffler shop where they are going to make 2.5" mandrel exhaust piping. The following Monday, August 29th, my car is going back to the stereo shop to have more of the wiring cleaned up and to have the panels in my trunk modified. I then have an appointment on September 2nd with Church's Dyno for them to fully tune my K-Pro and then dyno the car.

As you can see I have a lot going on over the next several weeks. If any one of these items takes longer than expected then everything else moves to the right.

Once everything is done I'll be happy to show you my car.
