I lied anyway. Just a little bit ago, some guy in a G35 came racing up next to me on a side street, then gunned it and got onto 100. I followed him and kept up with him as he gunned it down the on ramp. I think I annoyed him because I kept up with him because he went over into the shoulder to spray some sludge up on me I think.

I had to react to him taking off in front of me, we only had one lane, I hit the rev limiter at the top of second , and I backed off at 95 because of traffic coming up.

Nothing, cuz I'm just happy with what I have right now.
No more headlights as those ccfls I bought last year, crapped out in 2 days (the led bar did).
No need for rims, stocks are fine with me.
Maybe an AEM Dryflow for my Injen intake, lol.
Exhaust is fine.
Paint front bumper (incident xmas of 07, just been lazy about it)
A BATH!

I totally spaced on taking pics because I was too busy crawling around piles of tires and air hose. The Tirerack pic does not do them justice. They are the same black as the Tenzos and not the greyish color from the Tirerack pic. They look great on the car. They are keeping them in storage for me until next month. No reason to spend even more on TPMS sensors and mounting when I can't even put them on until April.

Oh, and they fit. That's important.

Finish tuning

FE5 Sway bar, FE5 struts, Adjustable sway bar endlinks, rims. possibly some 245-45-16 R1's
Polish the charger and valve cover

Carbon hood is on its way, and paint is already set up to paint it.

need to remake my front Carbon lip.

Rewire a bunch of crap. Uninstall nitrous.

Maybe if I make more money than I think I will, SS/TC steering rack and knuckles.

And if I can get my hands on a damn intake manifold port and polish that and direct port meth injection

Basicly a lot of miscs. crap

Sounds like you have a lot planned! What's your opinion on meth injection as an octane booster? Does it result in quicker ET's? I'm still debating over getting a kit..

Haven't tracked it since I got the kit...It definitely helps, both in lowering temps and octane booster. But it needs to be tuned for or your just going to hurt the performance more.

it wasn't terrible to do.. I have a 2.2 return style fuel rail that doesn't fit the LSJ, it might fit yours. Its yours if you want it.. Make sure you have a little to no gas left in your tank when replacing the pump, it makes it about 10x easier manuevering the tank out..
The hardest part of mine was finding someone to weld the fitting to my rail.

Bottle is coming out because I want to autocross this year, and its not allowed. Plus I hardly used the bottle. I'm still on my first fill up lol
