dam! haha, let the modding begin!
Stav, I have read some horror stories about the B&M shifter, have you looked into the rogue performance piece?

Might be an interesting read.
Cant wait to see your ride!

i'm pretty sure i've heard the same thing about that short shifter. when it's in gear it has so much play still it feels like you're in neutral.

curious to know why you went with the skunk2 plenum spacer rather than something like motordyne? Or why you went with that intake or coilover kit?

I think there are way better choices out there.

I have never heard a problem with the B&M, I have sold about 20 so far and no one has complained to me,but I will let you know what I think.
The intake is pretty good and really cheap till I do the TT kit as a tie over. The big wheels look crazy nice but robed a bit of the umph the car had with the stock wheels. I sell more TEIN coil-overs then any other company in NA, an it is a superior product overall I agree, but Apex'i really wanted me to try the N-1 coil-overs they brought out and redisigned recently with a better spring rate, so I thought I would give them a try, let you know how it goes. I will post some pics when I get them in.
I will have them late Friday and install them that night so I should have them on for the meet. The Skunk 2 spacer is virtually the same as all the rest and as I carry that brand I would like to show my customers what we have to offer. As the car gets more and more serious many things will need to be changed for better/stronger options. I am going to design my own intake manifold with seperate runners, kinda like the Kinetex one but for boosted applications.

Talking *update*

Installed Seibon VSII carbon lip with OEM carbon hood today, what a difference it made to the car. I was really worried about carbon on liquid silver ( I think that's what nissan called it) but wow was I wrong. I liked it so much I'm going to do the full hatch on Wednesday morning (earliest that window guy could come in).

Sorry about the pics, I'm not very computer savy as you can tell. I will be posting some pics after the meet. Unfortunately the coilovers and exhaust didn't make it by 1 day, but I rolled the rear lip and bingo! no more rubbing.

Put rear carbon hatch on today also, gave me a feature I wanted by accident... now when you pop the hatch with the remote it opensup all the way because the carbon is so lite the shocks pop it right open. Kinda of a cool feature.
