New to the forum!

Hello all, checking in from Omaha, NE. Been lurking for some time and finally joined. Picked this beast up in December, and have hardly driven it as I have been improving it for the last few months, currently putting the engine and drivetrain back in and hopefully firing her up by the weekend.

Mod/Maintenance List Since I've had it
-APR DV's
-New Pads + Rotors
-Timing Belt Service
-Valve Cover Gaskets + Tensioner Gaskets
-Bufkin
-Unitronic Tune
-MTM Transmission Tune
-Transmission Filter and Pan Gasket
-Milltek Catless Downpipes
-Wagner IC's + Scilicone Hoses + Clamps+CF Shrouds
-ACE Torque Converter Rebuild
-034 Motorsport Street Density Transmission Mounts
-Stern Soft Engine Mounts
-Apikol Rear Diff Crossmember Bushings
-Apikol Rear Diff Mount
-A ton of new seals and gaskets throughout
-Primary O2's

and probably a lot of other odd's and ends I'm forgetting. The car was under warranty until 100k miles and all the DRC struts have less than 25k miles on them, so far so good.

Currently running Oettinger RZ 2 Piece 19x8.5 custom powdercoated, with 255/35/19 Dunlop Sportmax's

As far as exterior upgrades ; hella tail's, tinted windows+windshield, clear corner mod

Welcome, it looks like you've done all of the right things to increase reliability and improve the car up to this point. What do you think about the APR R1's? I had a set on my car and the honking noise was annoying, they said return them and we'll fix them so I did, I got them back and they were almost identical to before so I just went to a new set of stock DV's.

A warm welcome! Enjoy!

Welcome aboard! Looks Great!

PS, I'm the guy that sold you your downpipes.

[audib4]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, as far as the APR DV, I have not had a chance to drive the car with them on yet, will give you some feedback in a few days.

Also, Kevin, thanks for the hook-up, really glad I decided against gutting OEM downpipes.

If anyone needs stock stuff, I have OEM downpipes, all cats in perfect shape, no codes, etc. OEM Intercoolers, in good shape and all the mounts in good shape. The only one that was bad was driver side engine mount.

Enjoy the ride!

Just another "welcome aboard" sign I am holding.
Great and seriously mean looking beast there.
