Unfortunately for me, there's no shop around here in the Southeast that I'd trust 100% on such big ticket items (I'd love to be proven wrong though). Figured might as well get the best guys working on my car, and I'll visit old friends along the way up the East Coast.

Impressive 11 hours away. So have you guys done any Dinan work, specifically the Throttle Bodies. I am trying to see if they are worth it especially in combination of what I have (basically Dinan mods), 3.62 Dif, intake, pulley, S/W, Exhaust/racing mid pipes…next Stage 1 Suspension/camber or Throttle Bodies…Any thoughts?

Yes, not an issue. We didn't notice any gains on the butt dyno with them, but DINAN claims a few hp. The suspension makes a nice difference especially with the monoballs

Consistent wear from these rod bearings out of a sub 25,000 mile S65.

Freshly refinished, polished lips awaiting LM-R faces.
