You know, I've been looking for a wheel that will uphold the elegant look of my NG while still being light and sporty. After seeing these on your PB, I think they're my number one contender... Looks hot.

Any noticeable difference w/the BHR ignition? I'm running stock coils which I seem to change every 15K (which isn't too out of the ordinary...) w/Magnecor KV85s. Just curious... Also love the rims on your ride and totally agree w/RXeligion, those wheels would look sweet on a NG.

The tires are great! I've taken the car on long trips, through rain and given her stink on a few roads, and man! they are great! I feel perfectly comfy with them. Had them for about 2000km's and they're just getting broken in. I'd recommend these for sure!

Thanks! If you have any questions about them, lemme know!

My throttle response is much quicker. The power through the entire range seems to pull much smoother than before. I also have a Cobb AP, so with MM changing the dwell, I expect the results to be even better! Look up BHR results. They are proven to not disappoint

I think I'll get coilovers while she's stored for the winter. Next though, I'll complete the body kit. And add a SOHN. The plan is to turbo by next summer!

I decided to install the bumper, before getting it painted.

It was fairly straight forward, but had a few issues with fitment. It doesn't sit flush with the passenger headlight, and it's tight on the other side

My car has been stored, pretty much since Oct.
However, this weekend, I came back from military training, and was greeted by a few packages!

IMG00233-20120611-1412.jpg?t=1339451234

And these are what I found inside. Enjoy!

Walbro 255lph fuel pump

IMG00221-20120611-1400.jpg?t=1339451405

KEI Office reps, by forum member Jethro Tull

IMG00219-20120611-1357.jpg?t=1339451428

A quick test-fit. Flawless

IMG00215-20120611-1356.jpg?t=1339452184

Authentic MS rear diffuser

IMG00223-20120611-1403.jpg?t=1339451331

And authentic MS spoiler

IMG00228-20120611-1407.jpg?t=1339451292

The MS front bumper that is on now has obviously not had a chance to get painted since I got the bumper LAST EFFIN YEAR!! But, this is a good thing, as I am getting another Authentic MS bumper from a member, and will soon have the Ti Grey up for sale (stay tuned ). Have the fog mounts waiting for that one, too.

I am awaiting a few more packages, and then it will be time to cease this thread, and create another, MORE INTERESTING upgrades thread...
