Default Gearbangin's NA Track Build

So Ive been enjoying my ISF for going on five years now and the past two I really got bitten hard by the track bug. The car is an 2008 Neiman Marcus Edition purchased used from Texas. So here are some before pics only mods are the Weddsport wheels.



Then the mods started:

PPE Headers Catless
Borla Mid Pipe Resonator Delete
RR Racing Magnaflow True Dual Exhaust
F sport rear sway bar
Figs Two Piece Rotors
Stoptech Stainless Braided Brake Lines
BC ER Coilovers springs are 18kg, rears are 14kg.
RR Racing Titanium Intake
RR Big MAF
RR Racing Tune
RR Racing A/O Separator
Battery relocation Kit
Ultra racing Front/Rear Strut Tower Braces

Looking forward to how the pieces come together. Another Neiman Marcus build on the track...gotta love that! Some nice aesthetic parts that help complete the look too.

Did you do the battery relocation yourself or you had someone do it? Any places you can point us to on instructions of how to do it?
