Yah I know seriously, you should see the stock pile of parts sitting in my house....its nuts. I look at it and go, CRAP, this is going to take more than a day to install! Hopefully I should get a good chunk of it installed with the help of friends before I install the turbo/exhaust manifold. I read you have to get different coilovers, that sucks, no way to get any more camber in the rear with just some camber bolts and plates? Install time for my stuff should be mid summer.

It going to be fun tho. All those stuff going and when it is done will be all worth it.

Well the KW is pain in the ass for aggressive fitment like mine. Long story short. Cant use the camber plate unless I buy 400 dollars worth of parts to convert it and I still have to buy the plate. So I figure is not worth it and I do just sell it and go for something cheaper and will do the same job. Plus the conversion kit need to be special order lol. Really, no more special order for me unless it is really special. haha.

Hmmmmm what could this be? Why 1st class material and professional service to get everything matched up to my ZeroSports Shift Boot performed by Alex at Tenth St JDM!!! Some teasers he sent me




The arm rest has Italian Leather and UV protected threading, and to add some nice comfort creatures......Alex put in the padding on the arm rest to make it soooo much better than stock!!! This is how it should came from the factory!
