nice work!! I'm not really digging the corbeau seat though. You should have waited until you were done modding because corbeau sponsors people pretty easily. A couple of my friends got free seats, seat belts, and seatbelt pads.

Z-tube,y-pipe, AAM plenum spacer, Turboxs Utec and Brembos/w Stoptech 2-piece rotors.
How do you like the Utec and did it make a big difference after you got it tuned with just the first basic mods?

Depends on what you would call big gains, none of the NA mods will give you huge gains. I did gain about 8hp 8ft/lb torque after UTEC install and a quick tune. With the addition of the tuner I should be able to tune it to pefection.

Being a daily driver...and now a car without an in-seat airbag, won't that infringe on your insurance coverage?

I've wondered this myself for a while and it's really my only reason for not going to a seat that will give me a little more headroom and support.
