trieullionaire,

That is some transformation! I like it! You have a lot of skill and patience! I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures when you get the small details sorted.

Glad to hear you have the muffler installed, and are able to experience for yourself the resonance that I and others speak about. It is a fair trade-off, at least for awhile!

Keep up the good work!

Great work Trieu!

It does not even look like the same car! I can see you have put a lot of thought time and effort into your interior, I like the red touches too!

Okay, here are some pics of the car - not completely done...but it may take a while before I get to the other goodies:

Here is the Stebro exhaust I bought from ddb. This is 1 of 2 videos I am uploading to my shuttefly site as we speak. It's no Lamborghini but definitely a step up from stock...and for the price, I guess I should be happy as a lark. One day, I will figure out a noise cancellation technology to cure that resonance issue...or maybe someone from Bose will, who knows.

This video was done about 2 foot away from the exhaust. I have another video coming shortly which is done really close you can see the lens get smoked up whenever I rev.

FYI - You may want to pause it for a minute so that the video gets loaded up if you have limited bandwidth...otherwise the video gets kinda choppy.

Hey guys, I found another site that carries the LEDs for the doors. This site actually resells their products in my local area, so I don't think anyone will have problems getting leds from them:

Very nice, trieullionaire! You relight my modding fire!

How are you finding the leather dye? It is durable? Does it peel? And is it soft enough to use on seats and not crack when you sit on it? What brand dye is it?

That's look really awesome and the main thing I like in it is the dash board. I think you have made it a great looking with such a nice stuff there. GPS is also attached in the system panel. That's cool looking while.

Got new seats too! I know it's not everybody's thing but I was trying to continue with my decor...so I had to swap seats once I saw these. Fortunately for me, they are the least of the expensive ones from Sparco...but how often do you find something that suites your taste and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Impression on the seats. Very firm and supportive, makes the original factory seats seem mushy. I really like the side bolsters on the seats too, they keep you from sliding during the corners.

Impression on the upgraded clutch and lwf...LOVE IT! The first 500 miles I took it real easy but now it's a real hoot to drive. I have a hard time not giving it a bit of gas...between 3 and 5k rmp, the acceleration feels very effortless.

Next on the mod is the cold air intake...well after I get new tires. Any one have experience with Nitto Invo tires? I have Kuhmo Ecsta right now and the tire compound doesn't seem to give me as much grip as I like...had a couple scary moments so looking for a different set of tires to replace them soon.
