Couple pictures of my progress

Pictures:













Modifications:
Engine:
Apex'i SAFC-II
Custom Cat-Back Exhaust System
Fujita Cold Air Intake
Nitrous
Pacesetter Header(made it a race header) 4-1 Header
Mobil 1 Full Syn. Engine Oil & OEM Cartridge Filter

Transmission:
B&M Short Throw Shifter
VSS Modification(remove limiter at track)

Suspension:
Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs

Interior:
A/F Ratio & Oil Pressure Gauge

Audio:
10" Sub with Amp
Pioneer 6500

Rims & Tires:
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A for drag
16" Gunmetal with Polished lip Riax Seca Series Rims wrapped in Kumho Ecsta SPT Z-Rated(215/50/16)

Security:
Alarm
Whistler 1743 Radar Detector

Nitrous setup:
Pieced together kit mostly NOS products
75 wet shot
Controlled by B&M momentary T-shifter and MSD RPM window switch with remote bottle opener


Little bugs and those kind of things I still have left:
Nitrous line from solenoid to fogger
Get SAFC-II fully installed(have to get the sensor specifications since its Hot Wire and find the rpm signal wire)
MSD RPM Window Switch(rpm signal wire needed)
Install my Eibach Sportlines
Tint windows
Tint headlights and tails
Install everything I haven't already

Drag Times:
Best RT: .521
Best 1/4: 16.005 stock 90 degrees...46% humidity

Did not have a good track day when I took my drag radials. I am going to be in Nopi in the Chevy section. But from the looks I won't be finished which sucks.

Nothing is fully finished...why I posted progress. I'm a little over halfway there. The pillar pod went on before Autometer released theirs. When I purchase my camber kit I will be picking the pillar up as well.

Exhaust...who cares not like anyone is going to look underneath. New exhaust going when I get the funds. Two mufflers to quiet the bish down.

IMO the 2.2L doesn't have enough power to pull anything above a 16" rim unless your boosted.

Yeah you can roll on 18s...but your going to be slow as fudge.

I was, but I have a car meet this Saturday which leaves ONE saturday left. So I'm going to be spending my time on the things that matter. I'll pay someone to tint my windows...save me that headache.

I did clean my car after I took the pictures.

I actually was looking into getting Motegi FF7 rims same paint, but they changed backorder TWICE in a week so I said screw it. Chose these at the GA store and had them arrive three days later.

your 16s could weigh more then most 17"+ sizes. it just depends on the wheel weight.

I don't run with my 16s on. And whats the track conditions for the time you ran, etc? 90 degrees humid and a sucky prep on the track(they didn't even mop like they should). So I lost traction quite often.

There is a lot that goes into the factor, and I just don't prefer big rims...what's wrong with that taste? And your looking at a time of a stock LS yet is your time stock or when you had mods?
