Ordered the graffiti k bar in black for now..i hear this will take a month..so i ordered it up today and yanked the oem belts off the b pillars...
Takata harnesses soon..not sure if I'll do 3 inch or 2... black or green. Guess I'll see.
U want pics you say?
Are you not entertained?!
Lol...
K how's this.... little test fit sesh....
Even the weave matches right up.. fkn A.
Waiting to install pretty things like seats and carbon bits til the car is back from the body shop.. putting a shiny new windshield in it too... and I'll leave the A pillar removal up to the pro.. kills 2 birds w 1 stone.

lol thanks. 
Its begininng to be full of sleepless nights and TMJ stress headaches too.
I looked into new exhaust for this thing.. but Ill gladly wait until next year for that..
which will come in a flash, trust me.
I just got off messenger talking to Armytrix and it looks like its either a z34 can of thiers or the Meisterschaft unit for a Z33.. ill have to keep researching.. i heard some Tomei clips today and its just WAY too tonal and boomy for my tastes.. id rather have a cannister muffler than a big straight thru one i think.
I dont want to sound like a Subi.

im trying to track down a parasitic draw.. as my batery goes dead after just 3 days without running.. and thats with nothing really aftermarket installed in the car.. its always something.. fak.
Got the polishing fixed and also got the oil cooler moved to a better spot.
I expect to bring the car out to the body shop next week.
Bracket got revised to hold it up and off the fmic and the tab was removed.. we made a better bracket once we found the good spot.
Also did a doodle of what the front wil wind up looking like.. cf hood.. cut aways on thenose piece for air to the radiator and intake.. wheel width splitter etc
ordered up some hella supertone horns as well.. tired of having nothing to honk at people lol.

If you dont have an intercooler, go big.. If you do, youre going to ahve a horrible time fitting a large cooler behind your bumper.
Ive never run the car without it.. But i did have a puller fan on the cooler w a shroud previously and that thing would pull engine temps down like 20 degrees on its own.. I dont have room for it anymore here tho.. Which is fine for now... Even bought a slick thermostat controller for it.
