Given some of the changes I am hoping to see with my car, now is as good a time as ever to get the ball rolling! Let's see if I can do this by memory - each description above the photos will outline any changes that occurred since the previous photos.

FI Scuuurrrrrs me! Sevenstock this past year really made me jealous though. For NA, I don't know what more I could really have though, save a few tidbits. That said, once the exterior is finalized, there will be only one thing left to do =0
Thanks guys, I'm just happy to have all of this in one place finally.

Munchy - I like trying different parts out, especially if they can be had for cheap. There was a big gap that my second JIC was out for repair, so I needed something else in the meantime. In total, I think I've had two JIC 65mm Full Ti's, Mazdaspeed V2, HKS Hi-Power, Borla Single Exit, Espelir JGTC500, & my current setup.
On order from Summit Racing

9k - Currently on Volk Racing Formula lugs in blue; previously was on Rays Duralum Extended in blue. I have a set of Black Chrome Kics R40's but they aren't on in any of these photos.

Wow... I never thought I'd say this... but I'm not a fan of that choice in wheels, tilt! I've loved every one of your wheel choices but I'm not really feeling those weds. The RE30's were my favorite, but all of your wheel choices have been great.
It's great to see all of your progress in one place... your car has definitely gone through a lot of changes!
