I m using 22m ground wires in red and black to tell the positive from negative sides which involves striping wires and testing areas to make it works correctly even if a bump is hit. I have currently the 2 installed temporarily electrical tape to the under and middle dash until I have more time to hide the wires . All the wires once tied to 1 red ground wire and 1 black wire, will then connect into the 12 v slot in the center glove stash area. The lid can then be closed and the lid does not crunch the wires . Nice setup to have a option to plug in or unplug when needed. Just a heads up for people looking at this , LEDs run all the time , with the car on or not, being I have more than a few LEDs drawling power , the battery for the car can drain quickly within a few days of the car sitting.
These are not for driving around, just looks for meets ect .

Just changed some piping out with some better more efficent piping units and better cupplings. So far a tiny bit better gas mileage but not that noticeable since I m on the throttle twice as much now. It accels so much more on the lower end with the RA snorkel too!

Bought a tsudo axleback exhaust, waiting for it to come in. Also ordered some flat black high temp paint to coat the exhaust. Installing this weekend. Also ordering polarized mirror covers and rear view polarized mirror cover.

Dont mind the tape, had to figure out the hanger problems...though it still melted a tiny bit of the bumper.
a cruise my friend and I took to park city, found a dead end road and got to 141 mph quickly and it seemed like it wanted to keep going but I ran out of room.
I do have a tiny exhaust leak, but I ll be fixing that in the next week or so. Before I do that though, 4g69 throttle body is being installed today !
Oh and no longer have the takeda intake, sold it and picked up a K&N typhoon intake that gives me more rounded numbers.

Throttle body was installed, definitely added some much needed lower end power. Wasn't too hard to do and only took me $30 and 1 hour and 45 minutes to install it. Going for more looks and handling soon. As far as power, not sure if I want to add more than a high flow magnaflow cat and some 4-2-1 headers since the car is almost to the 200 hp range I wanted.
