Thanks man. My tires came yesterday. When the car spun out last year I destroyed all four tires.

Sorry I have not updated the thread much this year. I have been busy with a new job and I mostly took a break from the car to catch up on some things. 

We are planning to hit the track November 1st! She is still on the 2.0L and 6266. Last outing with this setup it ran a 10.0@139-141mph on WG pressure (26psi). We will be back out with 35-40psi. I honestly believe it could have done a 9.7 or 9.8 @140mph. There were some huge driving mistakes I never knew about until we looked through the logs so I am looking forward to racing it again with a better driving technique. The car is also now on the AWD D2 drag spec coilovers, where last time I was on the stock suspension almost pulling the front wheels up. 

We've done a couple things to the car in the meantime. 

Rewired some of the engine harness and moved the fusebox to under the dash. Over winter I plan to tackle the rest of the harness with a milspec connector at the firewall. No more wires cross the front of the car either. I saved 9lbs in wiring alone. 

Finished result. Really cleans up that area nicely. 

We fitted a 4" garrett core FMIC with 3"inlet/outlet for 3" IC pipes. I believe the 4" core is perfect for my little 62mm 

We found the limit of the sparktech Non-CDI ignition on my car around 45lbs of boost (around 830hp). Instead of going with an expensive CDI unit we decided to run AEM smart coils. They have built in ignitors and will be triggered sequentially directly from the AEM. This setup will be good for up to 300hp/cylinder. They have already been well proven in the race industry. Did I mention all 4 coils cost under $300 new?  

More billet!

Finally got around to putting the window net in. 

I plan to clean up the car and take some good pictures with my camera. These were just grabbed off my phone.
