Thanks alot!!

Thanks for all the complements, but the ride is too low for my liking lol
i am scraping.. and the worst part is the springs are probably settled so my ride is even lower... i am getting the best of both worlds right now scraping and rubbing when i turn too sharp...

Next free chance i get i am raising it a bit so that i wont have wheel gap but i am not scrapping or rubbing.

also i just ordered some wheels for my ride
stay tuned!

I searched this on youtube and it sounds great! but i know that youtube will never do any exhaust system any justice.

how about the FI exhaust with HFC??

or any thoughts on greddy or ARK?

also saw your thread about the painted headlights i might try this tomorrow if i am brave enough

Nice progress on the G!! I'm going to start modding mine soon....if I can ever save up some extra $$$.

Question...how did you like the R2C? I was considering that intake as my first mod. I'm curious as to your impressions of it after install?

Enjoy the modding!

I'm surprised no one caught this. Camber kits are a must and should always be paired when ordering parts like this. You'll enjoy your ride more once you adjust everything to spec.

However I do have one question for you. Why did you choose to install coilovers right in the beginning of the snow season? I've read a number of people pulling their coilovers for winter so they don't seize/leak cause of the salt and temperature. That's probably what I'll have to do is wait till spring time to install mine to get maximum life out of them.

Looking forward towards more updates.

Thanks!!!
i cant say that i will give you an unbiased response because this the only intake system i ve had on my car. sorry if this is a long read!

I cant say that i really notice much of a gain because its my only power gaining mod but the sound it makes when i hit 3k RPMs is indescribable!!! everyone who has rode in my car has noticed it even if they heard it for the first time. and when accelerating from a stop light or punching it on the freeway it turns heads for sure! although i cant say its helping my gas milage when i pop open the hood people are like cause it does really stand out. the black chrome looks amazing too! and the heat shields are really well put together! although it may cost 100$ more than your regular SRI i believe its well worth it. If i had to do it all over i wouldnt hesitate buying one again!!

hope that helps if you got anymore questions fire away!

I know right good thing a quick search on the forums saved alot of money on new tires in the future

i read over alot of threads about the BC coilovers before buying them and people have said that they have survived winters with them i havent read anything about them seizing or blowing out yet so i decided to go with them instead of cheaper alternatives. where i go to school i dont really get out much except for the weekends so i m not really worried about driving the G alot and if it really snows around here there are plenty of people who lend their cars out its the system that we have here! freshman and sophomores arnt allowed to have cars so they borrow from upperclassmen (of course the G will never be lent out) so i ll just borrow another car and keep the G safely stored away. surprisingly for how much snow we get here CO roads are pretty good!

SPC camber kits ordered from THM Motor sports - great customer service ordered and shipped out today! will be here before the weekend to be installed!
