I've done a few very simple things on my ride and wouldn't have it any other way. There's a time and a place to use the dealerships. And none of them are the same. I still cringe when I have to pay ~$270 for an oil change in between the intervals. 15000 miles is just obscene for scheduled oil & filter changes.

Oh btw, I think it's time for you to open up shop. I'm sure a lot of people can use your help.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Some day I will open my own shop, probably once I retire. Either that or work at starbucks

Nice! That's what I am talking about!

Thank You!I appreciate it For some reason I keep thinking I am going to stop but I just CANT!!!

I have already started the next round.
- I switched the boot lid back to stock and added a carbon spoiler
- Installed IND Custom Stitched e-brake handle and boots this past weekend
- Brembo GTR's - I need to wait to install until I can mount my summers
- BBS FI's - I need to get the tires mounted and wait for the snow to clear
- Just ordered Gintani Race valved exhaust

... and a few other suprises

My wife bought me a lift for Christmas because I had 2 close calls last year, almost dropped the car on myself
But the lift make it a lot easier.
I'll be pulling for you to get a garage
