thats all she wrote!
more to come soon once i pay my speeding ticket :mad: and car payment this month

Alot has happened lately since my first post ive been doing a bad job of keeping up with it.

Things I've done

15% Pulley
Schrick Cam
Hotchkis Rear sway bar
Enkei RPF1 15x7
rear seat delete(getting ready for the roll bar)
Schroth red Quick fit harnesses
hella supertone horns
deleted the resonator in my jcw exhuast

Next up
i bought some rally armor mud flaps so once those come in ill get them fitted up with pictures.
when im down at minis on the dragon im picking up a four point roll bar and getting a quicktune by Way....why you say? becuase race car.

First auto cross next week!!!!!!!!!!! siked about it!


Things i no longer have....
The hood scoop
milltek exhuast....still have the milltek header on!
Tow Hook...stock one has replaced it
forge intercooler :(

thought i was going to sell the car so i started selling things to go back to stock and my mind changed quickly after spending days on the forum and talking to people...im hooked into minis now.

Pictures to come!

Looks great! Can't wait for the new pics.
How is the forge intercooler? Worth the money?

The intercooler was okay...With a tune I bet it'd make a difference. I sold mine though. If I were to do it over again I'd buy a used forge or a gp intercooler or Alta...i don't have 700 for an intercooler and I didn't notice that much of a difference...if anything spend the 700 on a shrick cam...wow do I love that cam huge difference in power can't wait for the tune

I'll get more pictures up tomorrow my computer just crashed...gahh

That's a very nice looking '04 - I like it!

Enjoy the autocross and report back?

Are you running STX?

Cheers,

Charlie

Very Nice Set-up. Good Luck with the Auto Crossing!!
