Complete list of everything i have done.

Headlights  
Corners  
Fog Lights (painted black…yellow bulbs)  
Way nicer polyurethane front lip  
lowered it  
new Falken 615’s  
brembo blanks  
hawk pads  
better master cylinder  
calipers have all been taken apart, cleaned, and never seized.  
all new vacuum hosing  
del sol seats  
steering wheel  
shift knob  
shift boot  
jizz stains from bumpin uglies with underage girls  
gauges (boost, and oil press)  
FMIC water spray :tspry:  
plugs, wires  
k&n TURBO filter  
misc poop  
sick amounts of vinyl  
53 quarts of motor oil (not including changes)

i’ve been trying to not spend a lot of money in performance mods, that i wont need after this summer anyways. theres no point in buying stuff for thousands of dollars, if i can’t use it next year.

but i’ve definitely got some money saved up, and some ideas, that will put me up way closer to the big dogs.

So basically the space between your tire and fender is as tight as a 14 year olds vagina. Only one finger needed.
