I'm going to wait until the BBQ and see what mods you guys have and make a decision then. I was thinking of getting the full RB intake, the race exhaust, the cat replacement pipe, the O2 sensor bypass, and the racing flash all at the same time, but, like I said, I think I'll wait until teh BBQ and see what you guys have.

And I say racing flash because supposedly there are 2 flashes from RB: one for street, one for race. There is a thread about it and supposedly the race RB flash will smoke the cat, so I'd just rather take it off.

My other concern is I might just wait until I hit 60K miles to do this. I'm at 35.8K now, and am thinking it might be better to keep it pretty stock until the warranty is up.

Thanks, guy, and I can't wait until the BBQ.

I'm in the same predicament. I am always a blink away from doing the mods (flash, cat, clutch, flywheel, etc.) but the warranty lingers in my mind. Crazy part about it is when I first bought the car, I EXTENDED the warranty to 100000 miles. Blah...

I'll swap the warranty for your rims?

So my bro and I finally installed the foglights for the ms bumper. I sure do miss having the foglights but now I need to upgrade the bulbs... since I upgraded the hid bulbs to 6000k.

Monique - Any update on the rims yet?

T- Glad you put your fogs back in. Did you cut the screens or the bumper? Stop by my office to show me when your in the area. Well call me first, we're closed tomorrow. Also- what's the deal w/your springs? I still need to upgrade some of my lights. I want those PIAA's Roger has. He looked ssssick rollin up w/those & his fogs being re-wired. Dayum!

Nah ah, I didn't cut the screens. I'll try to take pix of it. I like how it looks with the ms bumper. Ahh... my springs are on hold cuz my uncle despises dropped cars. But I'll get him to do it before the 29th.

Yea, Roger's piaa's looked awesome!

Pics of my Painted Calipers

Well guys and gals you saw the preview, now heres the next rev.

Finished my discs and calipers. Installed an HKS DLI II Ignition. WOW what a difference. Rock solid idle. Very little backfire when revving. Lots more torque. Very clean, strong top end. A definite Recommendation.

Clear corners come in tomorrow. Probably the grounding kit too. I'm going to install over the weekend and see what I want to buy next.

I'm really leaning towards the flash before the Z meet.

If I don't do it, I'm just going to get the BB looking like black glass. Anyone interested in having a little buffer fun before then, let me know and we'll see what we can do. Bill saw the way my hood came out at the BBQ
