Update: so much time has passed, about a little more than a month now. so far the tune session i have coming up will be scheduled for next week.

things that have occurred:
-we've installed the haltech LS2 direct fire coils! i cant wait to see the effects its going to have. i originally was going to use an HK$ twinpower but why the hell should i spend all that cash? get some american balls instead!

-the fuel cell in my trunk will be mounted with a metal tray and a brace. atm, we have it being held in place by wooden blocks for the time being. we have it plugged into the meth system so we didnt want it sliding all over the place.

-the meth kit has been tested, it is working nicely! shoulda heard the pressure from the meth shooting into the soda can we used as a recepticle. we had some gallows humor with that, sayin what would happen if we shot our eyes with meth (of course we know, but you know how us guys can get over a smoke break).

-my car was waaaaaaay too slammed with my stance GR+ coilovers. we raised it up a bit. its sort of the same height as the previous photos. we couldnt even turn the wheel before we raised it. many obscenities were shouted as we attempted to remove the messed up bolts on the rear strut towers for installation of the coilvers. even more were uttered when the only 14 size socket managed to fall into a crack, thus leading me to take apart the interior behind the driver's seat to get it out.

anyway that is all i have for now. more information to come as well as more pictures with the new stuff thats been installed. college stuff kept me really busy but i am done for the time being. we're on the home stretch gentlemen, thanks for reading

hey everyone! great news, my car is finally tuned courtesy of BDC. hes a great guy and an awesome tuner, i recommend him to anybody who requires it. we spent pretty much from thursday until yesterday on the car to get it running up to speed and how a single turbo FD should. the car drives like new, and pulls like a train!

@1revvin7, appreciate your comment. the car was an absolute mess when i got it. it still has many little things that need to be changed around in the engine bay. it makes me wonder who the hell does work on these things in the houston area.

@luke, the haltech platinum sport 1000 is a stand alone ECU unit. you can pretty much change anything in the car with it. its a great EFI system and i highly recommend it.

visit the above link and you will see info on the unit i purchased last april.

@wangan, id love to share pics of it being too slammed however its on my phone. im a noob at it and dont know how to pull pics. it was un-driveable because i have no camber kits.
