Smile Finally managed to get some pics of my car

Well, guys, after talking about her for the last 8 months, I finally have some pics! They're a little dark, but you get the idea. I'm really excited to have her back!

Chris -

What is coiled up near the battery in the second to last pic?

Also, is that your boost controller attached to the BOV in the last pic? It doesn't look to be the APS solenoid, what are you running?

looks like the CAS wire loom just curled up. you can see he is using the stock APS solenoid, look closely under that thing you are talking about. but there is something else there, i wonder if it is something hooked to the APS solenoid so it can be adjusted.

yes, I can see the solenoid now - it must be for his meth injection setup.

I don't think that is the CAS. I don't remember having that much slack on the installs I have done and also, I would think it would be tucked in near the firewall rather than coil up outside the battery section like that. I think it might be an EGT wire

That is the lead for my yet-to-be-installed wideband o2 sensor for my new PLX-r500 gauge.

That is part of the Aquamist system that's attached to the BOV.

I agree; it's a work in progress. I'm looking for a good coilover setup as we speak that would work well for drag racing as well as cornering, depending on how it's set.

Looks great! I can imagine how you feel. I get my car back this coming Friday. It's been almost 5 months and this was the second time it was down.

What size are those wheels and tires? Offsets? I am ordering a set Volk
GT-7 and I am wondering if the 295/30 rub. My car is not lowered yet either.

Thanks! The rears are 10.5" +24 offset, I believe. Fronts are 9.5 +30. The tires are 295/30/19 and 255/35/19.

what about the tires? Brand? 265/35 and 295/30? Any rubbing? I am getting the same size wheels and offsets you have.

Yes...BAD, until I cut the inner fender. It was chewing up the edge of my tires every time I got on it or hit a bump. All is good now though
