Oh ya I forgot to post that. I put Megan EZ streets on. I love them. I know some people talk bad about about them but it seems to be manly a branding thing. I searched for a while for an affordable adjustable coilover and these had mixed reviews so I took a leap of faith and they have been holding up good. They dont have a ton of adjustment as far as soft/hard. After I put on my FM frame rails(also forgot to mention) I was getting understeer so I just stiffed the rear to fully hard and kept the front mid way soft/hard and now the car goes into corners fully balanced. Really all I could ask for from the coils and the street driving is remarkable.

The power is great (totally different car) I just have been working out some overheating issues on the highway and with ac on.(Its been 100+ some days) which should be fixed this weekend when I put the under tray back on, coolant re route and burp the system again while the front of the car is lifted.

It's hollowed out for the time being until my test pipe comes in. It was clogged so I uncloged it by removing all the insides. No emissions in my county.

Agreed. Nice job on the hood. I was going to do the same with the GT500 piece, but went this route instead.

OEM Evo hood vent.

Looks good the thing I like about the gt 500 hood is it is the perfect gap between the valve cover and the radiator. Water just falls to the bottom and leaves the undertray. We had good rain today and the engine bay stayed dry.

Finishing up the Brakes tonight. Drilled and Slotted rotors with EBC green stuff. I wanted to upgrade the lines too but Im broke and will probably do it when I get an adjustable proportioning valve.
