Some of my peeps still like to see updates to the whip, so here goes.

Lowering the Vig was not my goal.   The front is very low, easy to scrape stock.  Luckily the Koni sport kit dropped the rear quite a bit, the front will only lower another 1/2" as it settles.  The ride is great, smoother on soft, and a go cart on harder settings.  I am very happy with the cars stance.

I also installed an upgraded intercooler, did it myself wasnt too bad.  Real E-code corner lights are new too.

Hey now, watch it  I LOVE the hatchback.  It makes for great acoustics and can swallow 4 18" tires.  I also like being able to easily adjust the Koni's in the back.

After seeing this video of my software tuned to 16psi from my current 12.5, I am having the ecu retuned in 2 weeks.

I came across a deal I cannot pass up.  My engine and turbo wont support over 300whp.  I am kinda at the edge and my 99 pistons are what hold me back.  I wanted to get another engine to build with .30 over JE's and then do a GT series turbo.  My tuner with my exact car and a GT2871 with JE pistons put down 335whp and 380lbs tq at 19psi last week.

So I found a 99 engine 20 miles away that had been over-revved, I am hoping for just some bent valves, its the block I care about.  So I will build this up over the next 6-12 months.  My engine has 39k, so I am not in a rush.  My goal is 330whp and 370tq.  It wont go in until I have an LSD and stage 3 clutch as my stock is rated at 300/300.  

This car will be a BEAST.  I am shooting for 115mph traps when its all said and done.
