Ever think about painting your brake booster vacuum line on the firewall flat black? I did mine and it makes the engine bay look a lot cleaner. I love your car though, that steering wheel is pretty bad ***.

Helllllz no I don't have no cat. However, this smaller muffler is signifgantly louder the the previous 5x8x14 muffler, so i may add one to quite it down a touch.

No, never thought of it, but I can see how it would look better; good idea. The wheel is pretty amazing, even if it's a cheap ebay wheel.

It's a NB gauge, however since I have an LC-1, it's outputting my WB signal correctly. Notice it reading solid at idle, I have it outputting 10:1-17:1 each LED represents about 0.33:1 - 17, 16.8, 16.4, 16, 15.7, etc.

Boost is solid at 12. I need to get my camera mount back and pull through the gears...

Did you cut out your right headlight cover and put that vent in, or did you just buy a new cover and paint it red?
