Looks good, see you recouped from the accident, I liked your old headlights that were black with the chrome rings left unpainted, that was hot.

You were collecting parts to go NA-T, you still working on that? Like to see this car get there, the manual swap deserves it, it a whole other world and really gets these pigs moving.

What rear gear you running, I think it came up in an old post but I forget. My 1st is relatively quick but 3rd runs out forever to about 130mph.. I'm considering swapping rear gears but don't want first to get any shorter.

I am currently running the stock rear end with a r154

as for NA-T i am very very close.. JeffTsai just finished putting together a built forged bottom end and now all i need is the Turbo and Custom inter cooler piping's and i will have a NA-T build post up! (=

How do you find the 24/22k setup? is it VERY harsh? pain in the *** to daily drive it?

I'm looking for a stiffer spring rate setup but not too sure what I should do. I've been thinking 18k/12k swift but not too sure if that will be any better than my 14/10k

I plan to do some track days (drifting) and daily for the summer.
