Sorry I did not respond...I was in Hawaii on vacation for the month of June and then I have been getting caught up with work and personal items. I plan to take the car to the FL2k 14 in Bradenton this October.

I like my car lowered with a small gap still in place, just enough for an aggressive and clean look, but still great for overall ride, comfort and performance.

It's all good...Ask anything you like about the project. I was not offended. I split the thread into (2) a while back as it was way too long...I have driven the car so little over the last decade that the Flex are still riding perfectly. No issues with them. So, I have not changed them out.

The car is in the shop right now, but I should get it back within the next 30 days, I hope...

Thanks MMC...I plan to make a GoPro video soon. Will post it up when completed.

The Turbo set up has no space for separate DP's to be run on opposite sides and then merge to a centralized collector and then split out again. So, the DP is set up with a nice collector built at the merge into a single mid that traverses around the passenger side between the firewall and the PS pump. It splits there and goes dual all the way to the back of the car. In the future, there are plans to replace the round mid-pipe with a large, oblong one to increase exhaust flow. For now, it is good.

Still in the paint shop...New Black paint...Taken down to metal, completely redone. Should be much better than before even...Damned slow process when you want a show car finish....

Ryan,

At least when I feel sick about all the money I have in my car that I'll never get back if I sold it, I can always think of you and smile.
