I installed the RCE yellow V2 front springs on the car along with the RCE bumpstops this past friday. The ride is much improved. It is no longer harsh when hitting large bumps and the car doesn't chop or buck as much over bumpy roads. I also installed the Kartboy front shifter bushings. They really tighten the shifter up and are well worth it.

Saturday I stopped by CBRD speedfactory in York, PA. They had a white Evo X with 9.5" wide Enkei RPF-1's -it looked pretty sick. They also had a black '08 in the showroom with gunmetal 19"x9.5" Volk TE37s that also looked sick. I'd have a hard time choosing between them. They had an Audi RS4 as well. They let us into the shop where an Evo VIII was getting tuned on the dyno. It made 370 awhp on their mustang dyno. Their shop/ showroom is top notch and anyone in the area should check them out ASAP. I am still kicking myself for forgetting my camera though.

The only pic I (quickly) took this weekend:

I spent about 3 hours cleaning, claying, polishing, and waxing my wheels on saturday. Those spokes are a b*tch! Next time I'll clean them off the car:

Some tints would really set your car off.

The car actually is tinted with 35% I believe. Living in PA, I can't go darker. I got hasseled once already.

How do you think would black lugnuts look on the car?

Anyone have any thoughts between Maddad Ultra's and Defi's? I can't quite justify the cost between the two, but haven't heard much about the Maddad gauges.

Looks great! If your car was silver, it would look almost identical to mine.

Any tips on getting all the caked on brake dust deposits off the wheels?

Thanks man, but you did most of the good stuff before I got it! I'll take care of her for you!

Actually I couldn't get it all off either, you just can't see it from that angle. The claybar helped, but I didn't have the time or patience to get it all. I'm going to try something more aggressive down the road. Maybe a dremel with rubbing compound?

My TiC supershifter kit and unabomber's rear-end kit came today, along with 3 fortune cookies, two foam gliders, 2 TiC and 2 rally pig decals . Those guys are awesome. Thanks TiC


The klunk killer kit is awesome. It really made the car more lively and responsive to throttle inputs. No more clunk when 1-2 upshifting! The car flies through the gears now.
