let me know if you go. Ive been wanting to go for a while, but its so freaking far. If you go let me know. I might try to make it, a group is always better for the long trips. I have to trailer the car thought. E85 is not available everywhere.

Hmmmzz... Ive been meaning to ask this...

With all that ceramic wrapping... The power and heat that u will be extracting, do u take extra care when u see puddles of water or let it cool down first before a car wash?

ie, so that u prevent the thing from cracking faster over time...

I dont use the car that much to the point Id worry about it. The engine bay is sealed from the bottom (Not at the moment because the car is apart) and dont really get any water in the engine bay when washing the car. And honestly... If it rains I think about it twice to take the car for a spin Cant have to much fun in the rain.

Looks good!

Man, I wish someone would make me a front crash bar that still worked but didn't take up so much real estate in the center.

When wiring the Haltech for the rad fans you can ditch all the relays up front and use 2 bosch 5 pin relays and control the fans via the DPO outputs. You will have to pull the power source from one of the relays (blue wire 10 guage) or run a new wire from the 60 amp fuse in the fuse box on the drivers side. This will allow you to control both fans at the temps you desire and get rid of all the stock wiring. I can draw up a wiring diagram if needed.

Feel free to pm me if you have any questions about setting up the haltech in the FD. I am finishing up a PS1000 in a t04z and then my personal FD is getting the same computer to keep up w/ the S475 I am running.

Going with flat black mesh, gloss black lip, bolts are staying polished and I brushed the lug nut holes. They always get scratched so I figures its better and it will give it a little different look.
