So who is working on anything new.........
Of course ill post pics 
. I am running on stockies right now though. For now, I probably wont lower it as much as I want, but enough to get the feel for the car and learn to drive a lowered car, going over speedbumps, parking and not going over the concrete bump, etc.
Yeah, midnight tinting I believe are the people I am trying to go to. I need more money though.

Just got new set of Waydo Sportivo shocks installed. I likes the shinny new blueness of them. 
Huge huge thanks to Pete (alien victim) & Neal (nkubitz) for all their hard work. You guys are super awesome and great to work on cars with.
Also, lots of thanks to Ashley (ziggi) for hanging with my wife and entertaining the kiddos.

Whenever I get a weekend off here I got a set of DG-spec coilovers to install and Dezod adjustable rear enlinks. Along with a p-tuning exhaust I picked up used. And I'm also considering picking up a Quaife LSD with price Dezod is selling them for right now....

Of course I need to start building my rear floor at least the pattern for it....
Still too broke to get the materials for the CF work,that will cost me $500 out of pocket just in materials...but it will be worth it.

Yeah, it was just him and I, not bad.
Actually, I like the ride quality of these coils better than stocks, I dont know why. It feels like what a true "performance" or sportscar should be like. Ive only went over a few dips and bumps and its not as bad as many people make it out to be. I dont regret the upgrade.
Also, a few ppl are hating. They are saying that 17's look really weird with the car, like too small. Idk, I think it looks fine.

did some milling work at work last night. took the cover to my shifter box thingy and milled (nod drilled i used an endmill be cause the cut WAY cleaner) 4 PERFECT 5/8 size holes to mount all my auxillary switches. im going to instal them tonight or tomorrow morning i may need to do some light plastic trimming to get the nuts for the switches to not hit anything but it shouldn't be to hard. ill post up pics asap.
as for measurements. for these switches if you want to do the same thing. i spent like an hour taking measurements to find the prime location.
3.6 inches down from the top of the plate. then every .875" down. you can (fit a total of three here btw) the from inside the cutout measure .4375" in.
then for the fourth i milled a 5/8" hole in the center of the little switch hole cover.
now i know alot of people dont have end mills and milling machines so its possible to do this with a hole saw and then careful measuring and spot drilling
pics up this afternoon
