I noticed that you're not running the stock engine pan plastic cover...

Be careful with debris being kicked up from the road.
"Metallic pieces" can get attracted to the mag pick-up's and / or a big enough piece can knock the trigger wheel / sensors / wires which could cause instant shutdown!
The (old) Electromotive ignition triggers are run like this and have that same problem...

You mean the plastic belly pan? If so I have mine installed. Happen to have a picture of what you're taking about?

I was just looking at your ffe2.jpg pic...

If you reinstalled the under plastic, then disregard...

Ah yeah, I had to take the fan shroud and some other stuff off in order to get the trigger wheel on.

So I havent updated this in a long time, lots of things are to blame, but mostly laziness. Car has sat mostly unmolested for quite awhile. Finally picked up a 3" RB Turbo-II catback I got from a friend of mine, paired it up to a 2.5" Pacesetter header and midpipe. I expected a nice change afterwards but nowhere near what it actually delivered. Car was much more fun to drive both in how it sounded and power. One of my bosses at work told me "Sounds like its been cammed out." Which just made me laugh.

Also made some cosmettic mods, Ive always wanted a FC2000 front end after seeing one on a friends car 10+ years ago. Finally found one for a good price and while yes it is a knock off, I was pleasently surprised on the fitment and given the price Im not complaining at all. The pictures I got are of it just sitting on the car not bolted up or mounted at all. Im sure once I get everything attached it will look alot better.

Next up Im hoping to take it over to Glenn Price @ Illicit and have him properly tune my Megasquirt for me and see what kinda numbers I can actually put down.
