I have gotten a lot done with the car since last updated so here is what I have done so far.
My Invidia Cat-back, and all I can say is excellent quality. Got to thank Cameron at Lightspeedinnovations for all the help.
But here it is still in the box
The y-pipe bracket and baffle
The welds are flawless
And the stainless steel mufflers and tips
Also my Aquamist HFS-3 methanol kit. This made a massive difference to performance and smoothness of the car.
Still in the box.
All the hoses and wiring
The gauge
and finally the pump
Here is my Competition Stage 2 Clutch. Good for 450wtq
But here is the clutch..
Here is the Anarchy Motive shift knob I got..
Love this thing
Here is where I started installing all the stuff. Got an oil change and changed my header and cat-back.
Getting ready to come in on the ramps. Had to set up wood to get it on the ramps so she wouldnt scrape and she is stock height..
On the ramps
Old Nameless Performance tips
Jacked up and ready to go.
First was drain the oil and put some of this in.. Couldnt find any Rotalla T6 oil.
The new Invidia exhaust. Beauty
And my new Agency Power header and uppipe along with my new gasket and Methanol injection sitting on top. Stoked to get that installed.
Old catback exhaust
And my new exhaust installed.
My old header still on. Held up very well and looks pretty sweet lol
and my old header off
and my old header next to the new one.
The new exhaust installed. Love the exhaust. The muffler deletes I had had alot of drone and was really bad on the highway. This Invidia exhaust is wonderful on the highway. No drone and fairly quite at cruising speeds but when you step on it shes gets really throaty and the perfect amount of sound. The new tips look awesome. The only downfall is that I have to order exhaust hangers because one set of tips sit lower then the other.
But here are the pics of the tips.
As you can see in the pic above, the left side is down more then the right.
That is a video with the Tomei EL header still on
And this is a video with the new catback and header. Still waiting to get a better video but im waiting to install a few more goodies.

This was the new head unit I bought to install.
And this is the steering control module and wiring harness.
This was a pic of the install day
Meth being installed. Flow sensor is installed in windshield washer tank. 50/50 split of methanol and water. Wires are ran. All lines are ran. Pump is mounted next to windshield washer tank on driver side. Intercooler is tapped. Soon time for tuning. Then install of ebcs and fuel pump.
Took the tranny out and replaced the clutch with a stage 2 Competition Clutch.
Transmission Jack
Tires off for better access. 4 very sturdy jack stands underneath and ready to drop the transmission
Transmission dropped
The stock clutch on the left and the new Stage 2 clutch on the right
And the new clutch installed in its new home.
Some engine bay shots and pic of the meth lines. Engine bay is a bit dirty.
One of the meth lines going to the back of the intercooler
Got a quick crappy pic of the meth gauge
The plastic on the centre console is scratched up :\
Installing the new headunit. Taking the radio out was easy. Most wires where to easy to deal with. I soldered the wires together and used heat shrink on them. Couldnt get my steering controls to work so im going to take another look at that another time.
Here the dash trim off
Stereo out and just vents there along with the wiring.
Getting the wires straightened out.
Soldered them together and heat shrink.
Putting the new stereo in
New stereo in and dash trim on
Got new rubber coming in for the subie and the ralliart. Got the BF Goodwrich Sport Comp-2 in 245/40/18 for the subie and General Tire G-Max in 235/45/18 for the ralliart. Hoping to get the new rubber on the subie tomorrow and the rubber for the ralliart saturday.
Just ordered my Prosport Evo gauges. I ordered the EGT, Boost and Oil Pressure. All red illumination and all 52mm gauges. Also ordered a JCS Pods 3 gauge A-Pillar. And im hoping to get the ebcs, fuel pump, intercooler piping and plugs in this weekend or the next and also hoping to get the new inner fender well, front splash guard and the coilovers on next weekend. Also going to see what numbers im making when I get the few performance parts on.
