Installed my ZSpeed undershroud (review posted above in misc. section), did an oil change and my dad made me some ramps to be able to fit the jack under my front end as an early Christmas present. He's awesome!!

I may need to get better pics of that heat shied from you. I like that design better than my JWT, and I figure it would work better once I mod the JWT with a 3 inch MAF setup and matching inlet tube.

Yeah dude for sure. I can even take it off and model it up in solidworks if you would like.

Friend snapped a rolling pic of me today so I edited it really quickly.

UPDATED:

"about me" section as well as added a description of my goals and mindset.

Changed pictures to thumbnails for easier loading and uniformity.

I wanted to mention as well guys that if you have any comments/suggestions/complaints/anything at all feel free to let me know. This is for your benefit and I want to make it as easy and enjoyable for you to read and follow as possible. So yell at me if I post to many pictures or write too many words or make things too big or whatnot. Thanks!

You leave my mother out of this, Wickliffe!


Anyways, if you could post a personal review of the Forged Performance shift **** you use, I'd appreciate it.. Weight, feel, etc.; I'm in between that or a black Nismo aluminum short cylinder ****. Thanks

Haha okay okay kids.

I have two *****, one from moddiction and one from momentum performance. I'll do a write-up on both. The moddiction one is great for daily driving.

Nice write up, great photos and cool vids! So nice to see you focus on function than just the form itself. I always think if you focus on the function and do it right, to form won't let you down either
