Your car looks great and thanks for the great post. I still never really understand an enthusiast that goes with AT instead of MT but maybe thats just me.

But, it looks like he really likes modifying his car and might have been bitten by the track bug. The itch will likely lead him to purchasing a manual instead of an auto the next time around.

Sooooo much more fun driving a stick on a roadcourse than an auto and so much more efficient.

Your car looks fantastic my friend! Congrats on all of the mods and best of luck with the Stage 4!!!

Thanks guy, well originally this was my daily driver, commuting from and to the beautiful city of Los Angeles, often in downtown. It was just too much a PITA to drive manual. Now that it's been paid off a couple of years and became a weekend warrior machine, I want to mod and play with it. I wouldn't mind get a stick shift though - maybe I'll go crazy one of these days and had my friend's shop do a manual coversion for cheap! For the lack of power, more reason to upgrade to a Stillen SC.

I got a used Stage 4 in great condition, under 6000 miles, for $3500. The seller upgraded to VRT TT kit. The installation will be $800-$1000. Hopefully, it will be installed by next thursday - I will post some pics and get a dyno soon. The expected numbers are around 310-340 RWHP - which is more than enough for me for a weekend driver and once-a-while track day.

Hey Andy, it was nice meeting you on Saturday. I'm glad you had a blast! Good pics too.

I haven't bothered about about the shiner my G got, I'll worry about it later on, but I still had a lot of fun even with the rain coming down. Terry was a really good instructor and I had him ride with me on my last run.

Good luck with your supercharger and I hope your girlfriend is doing good. Did you get a refund for that 2nd day from Speedventures?

It helps protect the car from any debris that you may encounter on the track.

Thanks, I put the blue painter's tape on the front bumber, headlights, and sides to protect the car from debris and loose gravels on the track.

Car looks nice. See you at the next meet. BTW, the tape is there so you don't spill glass on the track in case you crash.
