[QUOTE=specialized5223;7271862]
well i went out tonight to take some quick pics to make my final decision on whether or not im going to paint or leave as OEM and well im going to OEM. i really like how it looks blacked out but i'm lacking dark rims. i had decided on going springs + spacers + painted OEM rims gunmetal but on my way to the spot i shot at i lost to an Evo X that looked modified and had an FQ400 badge....which i know that is that fast a$$ spec Evo but to my knowledge they don't ship them over here....he got like half a car on me with me starting behind him after he went woot, couldn't line up, so maybe now im gonna go for HFCs. Anyways here are the pics just for the **** of it...........

if he foesnt have an authentic fq theres no justification. It's the same thing as seeing idiots with stickers all over their car and none of the parts... when I PCS'd to Fort Hood I met some locals. one of these guys had a base Z with open diff and a license plate that said made to drift. had to have 30 stickers on his car. then theres the dozen people you meet everytime there is a car meet with front wheel drive cars who get in accidents drifting... just getting sick of the fake ****. who are they trying to impress beside themselves?

[QUOTE=costilla;7274009]Nice, I ordered HKS drop in filters and should be here on tuesday. Now I just need my test pipes
I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING OF GOING BACK TO MY OEM AIR BOX WITH K&N FILTER ALSO JUST TO SEE WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR THE SPACER THAT I PUT ON.

My friend in the red evo should be coming and I think his car is fixed. You all remember him running the vortec mustang.

Hey fellas,
Can't wait for the BBQ and Photoshoot.
Just to give you guys an update on Project Powerlab. Here are some pics.
Changed out Radiator. No need for this but it was thrown in with the bundle. There is a big difference in capacity as you can see.

Test fitting IC Piping and relocating PS cooler and PS reservoir.

Handy helper there: thanks Alex for tackling the fuel pump

Testing piping again:
