Lowered the front of the car. Looks better now. I washed it too, but couldn't get pictures of it, too dark outside.

Update:

Figured I would give a status report on the car. I hit 200 miles on the build since starting the car, and there are no leaks or oil consumption. It drives nicely, but needs a retune to make use of all the new parts. I will hopefully hear from Cameron of Dollar Store Tuning to see when he is ready to do it. The engine isn't making any noises, but puts out a good amount of heat in the engine bay. I can't remember if it did that before, but checking with the AEM the coolant temp is normal.

The clutch is finally getting broken in. At the beginning it would shudder pretty good at take off, but I have noticed that the problem is almost gone. 

And Discount Tire said my NT05R should be there tomorrow. Can't wait to have some fresh rubber and a tune.

Just got home, and Andrew is pleased. It took some work today. Had a boost leak which was fixed by replacing a clamp. Then had to fix the clip on the ID injector. After all that was fixed, the numbers climbed quickly. 588whp @ 18psi on 91 octane. Way higher than the 500whp @ 16psi on the previous setup. So now the quest continues with E85, which I am suspecting over 800whp. 

A big thanks to Cameron for sticking around to make sure the car was good. With the couple snags we had, I am sure most people would have given up. Dollar Store Tuning FTW.

And videos will be up shortly.
