Just bought/installed;
- Tanabe Springs + new top hats and sway bar end links
- Apexi N1 Catback
- Invidia Divorced WG Downpipe
- Cobb V3 AP
- Kartboy shifter, bushings, and OEM STI Derlin Knob
- OEM STI Replica Front Lip
- Evo X BBS Wheels w/ shank style lugs and hub rings

Tint, HID's, and a coupe other knick knacks left to go...

Edit: Highlight of my install, literally every single bolt on the exhaust/turbo broke. Exhaust housing to down pipe studs all broke, went to remove turbo to install new studs and the bolts holding the turbo to the mount also broke lol So that sucked.

Garage line 20mm/25mm spacer to flush stock 19s.

Mishimoto J-line intercooler. Last bolt-on until clutch work cause clutch slips pre 300hp. 2010-2012 genesis coupe cursed with such poor power capacity.

I had the i*cept evo's on an 07 Civic Si... If you haven't already ordered them, don't. I though they had decent traction wet or dry, but atrocious snow/ice traction.

Bought a battery from Lordco and installed it on the side of the road. Yay for being prepared with basic hand tools.

Cat-back made for Element, fits in Element :troll:

Thanks. I was willing to get them knowing I was trading off some snow ability for dry/wet handling because she's got the quattro and in the winter, the TT will only be used as a commuter for daily trips on the 99.

Until the eca-2 arrives (shipping is delayed another week) I'm focusing on interior and maintainance over the next few months
  • Bought EBC Red stuff pads that went in last weekend. Ran these since I purchased the car and love them. Break in is noisy for the first 100-200 miles but it's worth it thereafter: little dust, very quiet and they can take some decent abuse on the track while maintaining good bite on the street when cold.
  • 4 bar omni map senor as my current 3 bar is only accurate to about 28-30psi. I log boost on my laptop via the map sensor when tuning so this is critical for me down the road on E85
  • Defi BF Advance Boost Gauge (Amber/Imperial Unit) + Visor

Glad I could help :) Now get them on!

dared3vil0 10-31-2014 09:44 PM

Now the big question; white letters in or out?

underscore 10-31-2014 09:55 PM

I was on the fence but I went with in for mine, although since my Cherokee is white maybe out would have been better.

white rocket 11-01-2014 03:17 PM

The letters are black on both sides. I'd prefer black lettering anyway.

Should get a proper ct9a instead of wasting anymore $

Jasonturbo doesn't waste money. His genetic makeup actually is money which is constantly regenerating like that of the body parts of a lizard, or the terminator.

I sincerely hope you're joking... Please don't ruin an E36 M3.

Although you sound like the type of guy who'd put M3 badges on his 318 though, so... ::suspicious::concentrate:

Those are from Subway, so they're probably more like 8" subs
