That is one of the most cleanest tC I have ever seen. A couple of noob question but do you notice any big noticeable gains with a built block and also are you running with the stock ecu and injectors? I plan on building one as well.

hey thanks bro. honestly theres really no gains from a built low compression motor. all i can say is my motor does feel a lot more responsive and theres a slight deeper tone. my motor is built to handle boost. if i was going all motor i wouldv'e done high compression and wouldve seen some gains. but im in desperate need of boost! lol and as of now im on stock ecu and stock injectors. car runs amazing smooth even with the built block. Ptuning did a great job. ill be going with 900cc injectors and for engine management not sure yet

iv'e tested them in snow...lol not the greatest idea ever.....totally the oposite of the weather there made for. ended up sliding and hitting a curb so hard that i cracked my rpf1 and lip..i had to replace the wheel for a new rpf1. haven't really got a chance to test them yet because of the cold weather. it just now started getting warm here. ill post pics later of the tires. i like the sound of 255's. dont want to go too much over the limit of a 17x8 wheel tho. maybe down the road ill switch my hubs and get something like 17x9 or better to fit wider wheels and a better set of rpf1's with better offset and den slap a 255 or 275....your on 255 rite?

ouch yeah any snow or cold weather really hates these type of tires.

im on 245/45/17 reo1rs at the moment, but my next set will be a 255/40/17. the sidewalls on mine are huge, and when running a 35 offset, its a tight fit. the 255 would fit better, and it would have an aggressive bulge to it, cause a 245 is pretty square on the 8 inch wheel.

Thanks man.
The drop is smooth. No where near as bad as I thought.
On the way home the coils settled alittle more.
I got tons of pics in.....

Any way. Pics of your exhaust.
