My car as is sits right now..
 

So, I don't get on here as much as I used to. I am over at V.org and VT.org most of the time. Most of the people on there are... lacking in knowledge so I spend most of my time informing..



So far, the car has a good handful of mods with a few more coming in the next month or so..



I have done the following:



NGM lowering springs (~1.5" drop) since the turbo springs are taller than the NA

EZ-lip, gotta have my ricey lip.. I actually really like the look

bumper claws.. more rice :D

custom SRI

forge BOV

XXR 18x7.5 flat black wheels

8mm spacers all around



Next month or so:

HIDs (here not installed)

20% tint all around

replacing muffler with a simple thrush muffler/glasspack



I am really enjoying the car so far. After 1500 miles (in two weeks) I am averaging 29mpg which I think is great considering the type of driving I have been doing, the E10 gas blend, elevation, 90+ heat, etc. I think it will be very easy to hit 35+mpg on the highway to Cali during the labor day weekend.



Car handles quite well and is decently quick. Only complaint I have is the EPS could have a bit more resistance/feedback. The pano-roof is quite nice also.

Looks great! :thumbup:

+1, well done.

Now if it only had the power to back the looks

is that camber I see?!



:jawdrop:

How you like the forge BOV? I'm thinkin bout gettin one for the Genesis but too much bills right now for car stuff ugh.

haha, no camber.. well none really noticeable.. the back is a torsion setup so it is not really possible. It looks that like it from the way the wife took the photo :P

the forge BOV is a REALLY well machined piece and seems to function very well. So easy to swap springs.. no diaphragm to fail either. no high pitched whistle or anything either, just a woooooooosh of air.



I got mine for 165$ shipped so not a bad deal.

:thumbup: I like it!
