Re:FInally got some track time !!
My car isn't lowered at all and it never hits the ground, although my DP scratches every now and then...
One year I'm going to pay some place to make some custom IC end-tanks, but for now it works fine... The 1.5'' inlets and outlets aren't "idea" either...
I didn't post this on H-T did I ?? Just checking, hehe...

Re:FInally got some track time !!
Since the vents go "into" the hood you can't tell anything is done to the hood unless your standing in front of it, its not really noticable sitting in another car, even with the white bondo on the red hood.
I said it still needed work, its not really like buying a $300++ hood and bolting it on... The hood still has a few more layers of bondo, wet sanding, and the whole /primer painting process.
"WHY??" If you could feel the heat that comes out of it after a little drive, you'd know why. My car doesn't run hot at all, but any further cooling I can get to the turbo/engine is a plus. Not to meantion now my air intake pulls fresh/cool air directly from it...
Wow, I figured I'd get more "your stupid" comments about the plug wires... Funny I showed a friend, and he laughed and offered to give me some accel 8.8mm, he has the nology wires now.. ole well..

Re:FInally got some track time !!
Hehe, yea. If you look at the other pics the car isn't in "show car" condition. The entire car needs painted, the clear coat is peeling off everywhere, and the hood already has some dents in the front ( I used to have to hit the hood to get it open ), but no dents were made while taking that pic ( odd enough ).
The Pic does show how bad the paint/clear coat is, I've sanded almost the entire hood to knock off most the loose clear coat.
