Now that I am legal again, I'm down 
, if it helps, your car looks faster.
My local mechanic found a couple of small issues during inspection today. The drivers side coupler on the intake near the intercooler is rubbing against a piece of the underbody, the AC line is sitting aginst the same pipe and may be prone to pre-mature failure unless wrapped a bit and the steering knuckle is catching on the drivers side turbo housing when the car is cold.
Other than that I got my exemption and tires put on today with a warning from the tech not to get into the throttle for at least a day and/or 50 miles so the tires will seat solidly. He was concerned that the rim may spin inside the tire with power the car has. I have also started the ball rolling on moving the title to FL so inspection and emissions are a thing of the past

I'm also thinking FL is looking like a good place for a 2nd residence!
