Thanks guys. Mike, I love the exhaust it's just soo loud. I have a hard with the car in the morning since my wife says it rattles stuff on the end table and pictures on the wall when it starts.

hahahahaha! Sounds like my old catless/resonator-less HKS catback. Once it warmed up it was very pleasant in the lower rpms and an absolute monster 4k+. Cold starts in the AM and after work would wake the dead!

You know who to call if you want to change things up in the near future!

Thanks...

Fronts are 19x9.5 +35 with a mid disk Lip is 67MM or 2.6inch
Rears are 19x10.5 +43 with a NR disk. lip is 79 or 3.1 inch.

I dont know the distance from the rim to the caliper but I can check next time I head to my garage for you. I can say there is more than enough clearance.

I am working on getting a sound clip but the sound of the exhaust is overwhelming the go pro mic. Working on an external mic now.

So its been quite a while since ive done much to this car other than drive it but ive been getting parts delivery now
some pics of what ive been up to...
So far I have ordered,
Weathertech digifit floor mats
Wald CF Trunk spoiler
Ventross rep roof spoiler (USB painted)
Swift 16k/12k springs
ATS Carbon LSD
Joe Z intake
AFE dry flow filter

I am looking at Sikky sways and Figs diff bushings but im not sure on those yet.

Love it when I have parts stocked up!

Wald CF Spoiler

Swift springs for the coilovers,

ended up being quite a bit shorter than the stance springs I had, worried about coil bind, I opted to return and buy the correct size ones. upgraded to a 16k and 12k setup

Diff out of the car in prep for the ATS Carbon LSD

^ soon ill have more, I got the replacement Swift springs installed last night just need to adjust the height but I let a buddy barrow scales. Im also waiting on my 4 post lift to show up which will make the height adjustment much easier since I can do at a static height.

here are a few pictures my brother took of the car after I got my roof spoiler installed. Wald called me yesterday and said my rear spoiler shipped off since I was not happy with it the first time.

I also upgraded to stoptech SS brake lines and Motul RBF600 brake fluid along with Earls solo bleeders so that I am ready for track times. Im just debating on a set of track wheels.

Looking good, really nice shots!

I think I remember following one of your old builds on M3F.
If you're interested in VMR Wheels for your track setup, feel free to let me know Keep it up!
