Beautiful man, please lmk your thoughts on the inlet pipe.. any change in performance or sound?

Finished buttoning up my engine bay. Added a Radium Engineering coolant expansion tank and a Rampage Fab inlet pipe.

Will do. I had a chance to let it warm up in the garage and give it some revs. It sounds amazing, but not a whole lot different. The PRL HVI already sounded sooo good. I’ll update you when I take it for a spin (hopefully this weekend).

I ground fourth one time. I'm not even sure how. I think my foot was a thousandth slower then my hand maybe. Like the clutch was slower to activate than I'd expect.

ohhh, I’ve done plenty of lazy shift grinds. Hurts every time.

I'm trying to hold out as long as I can. Maybe I'll swap in another week or two but the forecast now shows lows dipping into freezing daily here, and possibly snow this coming Friday on the 8th.

:dunno: I just hate the squirmy feeling winter tires have.

I hear you. Tonight is supposed to be in the 20’s and possible snow Thursday so I didn’t want to push it.

Man, I wish my winter wheels were BBS!!!! Actually, I was very close to buying those but ended up with Enkei Raijins. Some days I wish I coughed up a little more to buy the BBS. But then again, I didn't want teenage local yokels trying to steal them either. They look sharp! :)

eBay lucky find. Unused BBS with new Michelin X-ice and the tire rack wheel totes all for $900. The tires are a little big for the car and will probably rub if I hit large bumps but I couldn’t pass up that deal
