Only thing installed is an Injen Ram Air.

But I've got about 8 boxes sitting around and 10 more on the way to include but not limited to:

Several Dyno Tune Nitrous Accessories
Zex Nitrous Accessories
4.083 Final Drive Ring and Pinnion
EBC Slotted/Dimpled Rotors and Yellow Stuff Pads
Various Gauges + Pillar
Rear Camber Arms
Eibach Springs (which I think I'm going to get rid of)
VDI Vert Door Kit (which is why I'm not driving my Z as we speak)
A second Vert Door Kit
UnderDrive Pulley and belts
Goodridge SS Brake Line Kit
SS Clutch Line Kit
And more I'm forgetting at the moment...

Generally speaking, I fumble through everything making and fixing mistakes of varying degrees. Mostly because I could be the cheapest person you've ever met. But I actually consider paying $300 to have the LSD and final drive installed by SpeedFactory. I may attempt the DIY with you if your game.

Yeah, I'm positive about the spring rates. My car is actually 200 or so pounds heavier than yours. I plan to get some CF paneling, doors, lose those rediculously heavey heated vag seats, etc...

I did see the post about that. Great prices, so good in fact I'd road trip out there for em. But. My car is hung up for a week. And at this point, my body panels are only getting in worse condition not better lol.

I'm waiting to get my Vert Door Inc hinges back from Cali. They should arrive Friday or Saturday. So Friday or Saturday I should be good to cruise.

In this waiting time, I'm changing out all my brake components, and painting my calipers. Since I don't have my stock hinges or vert hinges and my doors are taped to my car, I thought it would be a great time to knock out this work. I'm also waiting on my APC oil pan to arrive so I can install it. Again, timed perfectly because I need a change in like 300 miles anyway...

But yeah, as I was saying before, I would love to go whippin with a bunch of Z's. Mite have to be a passenger if its this week though... lol
