Thanks Josh. I am looking forward to getting everything installed and updating the build thread here.

 

Nice color combo! Looking forward to the build. I see you've already got parts in shipment

 

Yes, all the Tom’s items mentioned in the upcoming mod list are finally in route to me.

 

Next on the list is ceramic window tinting. I went 30% on the doors and rear with 60% on the windshield and sunroof. The car and the work turned out flawlessly. Big thanks to the owner, Rob at Bings in Mlps, MN

Nice car, this is differently a unicorn and will hold it's value just like the 2014 ISFs. I recommend the full novel system (header and exhaust). I am speaking from experience, I have spent so much money (10k+) swapping/customizing different exhaust setups that I should of just bought the best from the beginning, do it right the first time. Yes the PPE catless header will yield a bit more power vs the novel catted header but it is negligible. any exhuast mod on this car won't yield you night and day horsepower difference so pick the best sound and novel is the best in term of sound and it's also a valved system.

 

Man, that is a great combo. Congrats!

Steve

 

That's exciting! Just curious as to why you chose the Toms intake tube?

 

I went with the TOM's intake for a few reasons.

1) I want to keep with TOM's for the vast majority of the build
2) The rarity and quality of TOM's parts
2) Carbon fiber to match the RR heat shield
3) The largest reason I went with TOM's was it maintains the stock setup unlike the RR racing version. Oh and Josh at Meraki gave me a good package deal on the large parts purchase

 

Nice - great to see some life in the GS-F "build threads" forums !

 

Thank you. It’s definitely a dream come true. I saw a you tube video that showed a dyno run for the novel set up and it only yielded about 29hp. Not very good for the price premium versus GT Haus price and better performance gains it has.

The exhaust, headers, Tom’s underbody bracing and RR racing air oil separator are part of my second phase of my build. For the time being, I am focused on the cosmetics since this will not have any effect to my warranty. So this will give me plenty of time to consider both options. I would love to hear both in person. I’m sure that would help with the decision.

 

For sure man. Most people switched over to Facebook, and IG.

 

Yep, seems a lot of the action is on Commintiy F these days. I still update my build thread here, just out of habit.

 

After waiting for just over 2 months, today was delivery day!!! I was shocked at how much care went into pack these parts. Everything arrived absolutely flawless. It was clear to see that the reputation of Tom's products was spot on! So next weekend the drop in filter, intake tube, strut bar, mirror covers and rr racing heat shield get installed while the front lip and side skirts are wrapped in ppf. I’ll post more photos once these items have been installed.
