I will make sure to ask what it covers though when time comes for the air setup. Just keep beating at them Brian, you'll get your way.
ahhh i c. makes more sense now....you threw me off when you said they were doing it all for 3k installed and warrantied. what kind of air setup you gonna use?

i'll probably get my way cause they a good shop....or atleast i hope i get my way

I honestly don't know what type of air suspension they use. I haven't really looked into it that much just yet.

PFT. We all KNOW you're gonna get your way. Money talks and you got plenty.

Just a small update on the build. It's been going slow for the moment considering my timing belt and water pump just got replaced, so that hit me for $650 that was going in other places.

Anyways on to the new items..

LS400 Calipers/Rotors/Hawk HPS Pads & Llumar Air 80 Blue Tint for the ride, courtesy of James Church.



(The tint is in the white tube if anyone is wondering. ) It will be installed probably January sometime depending on funds.

And also here is a pic of the exhaust on the GS. I never posted one up, so here it is.



I am still waiting on my new interior to come in and need to pick up my JDM window visors from a friend. For now enjoy and i'll repost again once I get my interior in and installed.

Appreciate it, and it's a toss up between metallic teal and metallic gold. Haven't decided just yet.

My rear fenders aren't 'stock quarters' if you're referring to them being 'unmodified' in any way, haha. I have them rolled flat and a very very very slight pull on them also. They could possibly fit without any other mods, but i'm not totally sure till I test fit them. I'm trying to wait until I get everything in for the wheels and then toss them on all at once. These bastards are heavy.

Car is looking good, the interior defiantly needed some work on the old seats. Much better! Wheels should look dope on there too.

Whats your plan on installing those 440cc injectors? The GE takes Top feed low impedance, those jdm GTE's are Side feed high impedance.

I actually gave those to a homie to flip for his own pockets. I no longer have any of the boost items. Going somewhere different with the engine.

I never did update this thread with a sound clip on the exhaust. Here it is. I still have my resonators and also have OBX Headers installed.

[Also this exhaust will more than likely be for sale in the next week or so, just an fyi]
