Lots I would like to do with the car, but the car is getting beat driving it daily.

The car's resting place is coming along slowly. I think custom cabinets will go in next month.

Wheels are now at the shop.

They will return to me in this flavor (car belongs to Romm211 from S2KI):

I found the pictures searching for the powder name.

There is a kid building a fully electric S2K. I think he has it running.

A rotary S2K would be fun too.

I should get them Wednesday, unless the powder doesn't come in.

I get my springs tomorrow, but they aren't going on until the 17th. See new thread to be created.

So coming soon is a single exit exhaust. The dual looks cool, but is heavy. The new exhaust will flow better and cuts the weight of the exhaust from cat back by more than half.

The new to me exhaust is the Evasive Motorsports Special Edition Type 1 Racing 70mm sparrow.

That quite a bit of weight to shave off of a already light car.

DWDUC helped me install the exhaust on Saturday. Definitely lighter than the stock exhaust. Tone is pretty good on the exhaust. I think it will stay at this point, but my wife hasn't been in the car yet so a final decision hasn't been made.

Here is the hunk o' steel that was replaced.

That's a large hunk o steel indeed. Congrats on the exhaust.
