trust me, I absolutely dig it. I asked my tuner if we could just up the boost and run it rich AF just so I could get an apesh1t flame shooting back firing setup. lol He wasnt too game to do it. I've cruised with a few cars (EVO X, JDM swap MR2) that were liek that. I loved it.
You could get a WOT box (flat foot shift box for 80ish bucks). I'd imagine you'd get the same effect when you flat foot shift.
Looks good. Going to add the vents to the front fenders? Or leave as is?

yeah the fender canards will get installed now that the body can stay put.. i got it aligned yesterday and its frikn dope now.. i love it.
We need to re route the brethers as it smells pretty oil as it sits now.. and i must be running pig rich becuase the tail pipe smells like gas pretty badly too..
new bov will be in tomorrow and that will cure ym vacuum leak..
picked up an arc catch can too so ill add that in instead of straight breather filters.

yeah they are huge.. that and the larger diameter deep dish st wheel.. and the fact that its thin diameter meant to use w race gloves.. idk.. feels disconnected.
i really think ill end up buying a personal Neo Grinta instead soon.

installed my ARC v1 catch can.
repolished everything.. found a new arc decal for the can.. going to replace the hose w a stainless braided line soon. This rubber just wont do.
then i added burnt titanium bolts to the nardi deep corn special black edition wheel..
and installed my Apexi Smart Accel pedal box.. put the switch on the console next to the shifter.. ill find a better place later lol.

Car was aligned at ride height.
yeah the suspension follows the normal stroke up n down otherwise tho. I left the oem traction bars in place.. didn't need the kinetix.

I'm thinking about a new aftermarket steering wheel setup, but I have to spend more and more on other stuff.

^ yeah since they already use a physical height sensor.. if i drop the bags down.. it will automatically make itself fill w more air in order to reach that preset height.. meaning i can keep everything exactly level but adjust my spring rate very easily.. which is why i love bags in this case. 
I cant quite do that in the rear though.. but i did swap to a much shorter bag that wont lift as much... but the same idea in mind.. i never changed the level settings.. but swapped bags.. and it had to fill and get a lot stiffer to reach the pre set height.
