It did about 320 on a DynoDynamics. From a little bit of "googling" supposedly these dyno's read lower. I've read that they read from 10%,12%, and even 15% lower

I was a bit disappointed as far as numbers go but decided to hold off on something's for now to get more power out of it. I figured I'll keep it as is for a while and get a feel for it. If I feel like I want more out of it, then it will go back to the shop

It's already done! Just need to make time to pick it up. Hopefully I'll get someone to drop me off at the shop either Friday or Saturday so I can bring her back home

bent rim/flat tire

On the way to a meeting, I see a LARGE rock in my lane in the distance. I moved to the left lane, but then another car switched to the lane I was just in, hits the boulder like a cue ball, it shoots into my lane, and my passenger/front nails it. Hard.

I pull over, and I see the wheel is bent with a flat (pretty new) tire. Now the stupid Mickey Mouse spare is on.

Looks & feels awful. Shitty *** way to start the day/weekend.

LOL! Craigslist wheels. My 1st mod when I got the car. Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise.

We should have a ceremony with interpretive dancing when they go ablaze.

And also a charity to help fund new wheels

Washed it, then ordered SPC Rear Camber Arms & Toe Bolts, 5mm slip on spacers for my fronts, and 10mm spacers for the rear.

Installed a Forged CNC milled shift ****. What an awesome feel! Currently on order:

- Eibach sport line coilovers (KW V1s rebadged)
- kinetix front and rear camber kit
- whiteline Front LCA and compression rod bushings
- 6k white 194 parking lights
- 24 LED front reflector upgrade
- and a brand new dash cup holder, cause mine is broke beyond repair...

Waiting until summer to pop on the Linea Corse LC818s...

...and because it's been 100k miles, decided to get 6 ngk PLFR5A - 11 plugs as well. The maintenance / upgrades continue.
