been awhile. decided to upgrade further. I modified my hood to look more OEM-ish. De-badged, going to remove all carbon fiber vinyl and repaint whole car in newer color. New front lip, side skirts, mid spoiler "waiting in the mail", CTR spoiler "waiting in the mail", RC injectors, high flow fuel rails, FMU, walbro 255LHP, Wilwood 12.1 big brake kit, SS brake lines. then getting re-tune at higher PSI.

still need to buy 2.9 Axles upgrade from drive shaft shop, i think it whats there called.

Fair play for building this, good work! :nice: Rear drums and a 3.2 6pot made me laugh, sleeper!
