Default New Mods + Updated pictures + Dyno run!!

Hello,


Here is just a little update, I recently purchased a few items and went about installing them.

Tein CS coils
Daizen Sways
SAFC II
Black Roof
Blacked out rear diffuser
06 LED Tails

I also would like to take the time out to thank my girlfriend since she has bought the SC a few parts and she puts up with me spending most of my time in the garage

A big thank you to Steve from SR Motor Cars in Gardena, it is always a pleasure dealing with him, he is very knowledgeable and professional.

With Custom intake, Custom Exhaust and a SAFC Tune here are my numbers;

Type of dyno: Dynojet
Run conditions:
Temp 76.3
Bars 1024.6
Humid 18%


MAX POWER = 262.5
MAX TQ = 279.1

Over all I wish we could squeeze out a bit more but I will be looking into headers soon, hopefully I will be able to break 300 lbs tq soon!

Very nice numbers.

How many miles does your car have? It's amazing that these subtle changes make your ride look just like it's spanking new.

I always wondered what a white SC would look like with a black roof. Nice!

Very nice! I too think the black roof works really well with the white car.

I just left Tommy's place a couple of days ago and the pictures do not do it justice. If you notice, he also blacked out the lower section of the rear bumper, between the exhaust tips, and I thought I looked good too. Tommy is one of the few people who has these little mods that one won't notice unless they really knew the car. Glad you got all of the stuff completed Tommy. Have a great weekend.
