Wink Back in Black

Was a member before, until I traded-in my mildly bolted and Tuned 2010 SS/TC in Jan 2013. Been missing it ever since...

2 weeks ago I bought a black 2010 SS/TC. Has about every mod on it that I'd ever want:

YYZ V5 with Koni yellow's front and rear
XXX sway bar
Powell Harness Bar - PC candy blue
Powell oil/air separator
Powell stg 2 mounts - original aluminum design front and back
4.45 gears
Powell UCR
Powergrid Endlinks
Powell CABs
Slotted rotors
5 x 114.3 hub swap
Brand new Enkei Kojin 18 x 9.5 with new Dunlop 245/40/18 DZ102
Pwerks FMIC - street version
PC candy blue Rocker cover and charge pipes
BPS STS - with Derlin Knob
Retrofit head lights - (5000K)
Custom LED tail lights - GTR style
82# valve springs
Powell's anti-starve oil pan.
K&N SRI
ZFR 6758 @ 26 psi
Trunk mounted 3 gallon AIS Meth kit
KY Stage 3 clutch
ZZP catless downpipe
Borla XR-1 race muffler (loud)
RPD - with 2 interceptors
Wingless trunk - from J.P. No holes. Factory from time attack days.
All interior trim pieces hydro-dipped black/grey Zebra pattern
Blacked out pillars and headliner

It goes on and on...

Car has 70K kms on it - never seen winter.

I contacted John Powell for his opinion of the car, since he did all the work on it. Quote: "Xxxx is a fastidious owner. Looks after his car like no other. Does not winter drive it. First class piece."

And with that recommendation - I pulled the trigger.

I thought my old Balt was Fast and could handle. Wrong...
Only place this car will see its true potential is on the track!

Previous owner was a SS. Net member.

Built for the track - not for show. Stance is perfect for me.

Agreed!

Don't care about looks as long as she handles the way she does!
Konis, YYZs and XXX FTW

I would love to upgrade to the xxx lol I think the style asks for a lower stance but it still looks good either way and yes handling is the main thing

As my brother-in-law said after I took him for a spin last Sunday - that's the best handling car I've ever been in. And I was only going 7/10's. Did not want to scare him too bad Lol. I run out of Tire way before the car gives up.

I like to do a 60mph slalom on the local toll road when giving ppl a ride. And it's nothing short of amazing how stable that car is at 150+

This was the day after a mountain cruise over unpaved roads... trust me normally my tires are well dressed. Here's the picture I was actually looking for before. Probably humongous as well
