Nice rim choice. Good tire choice as well.

Looking good and will look even better with those rims.

Check out my build thread for underseat mounting pics. It may give you insight on your mystery bolts. (I don't know which ones you're talking about, but I've got a bunch of pictures from under there with and without the carpet.

Who loves moms

My mom won a few futureshop giftcards and gave them to me. So since I don't really buy anything from Futureshop (newegg FTW). so I picked up a second GoPro, tri-pod mount, Battery Backpac and 2 32GB Class 10 sd cards. For a grand total of $0.95.

Finally over the last 6 weeks I have had time to do a few projects that I have been putting off. So here is some of my projects

AEM CAI

Custom Stage 2 Tune (Thanks Airboy)

JL 600W Mono Channel Amp Under Drivers Seat (Dirty

)

JL 10"W3V3 In Autio Intergrations Sub box (if you have not seen this sub box they are extremely well made and the carpet match is very good.)

PlastiDip Drivers Side

Chrome Passengers Side (has been since Painted)

Blend Radar Mount and GoPro Rollbar Mount

Radar Hardwire Kit and Remote Silence Button (Not overly happy with this thinking of drilling in to panel and intergrating light and button)

Project Kics R40 Lugs (to go with my Advan TCIII when they arrive)

Paint Matched Trunk Garnish

Last week I ordered
Hawk HP+ Front Pads
Hawk HPS Rear Pads
Dot4 Brake Fluid
RCE Springs Yellows
Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings
2 Kartboy Long Exhaust Hangers (My exhaust is currently uneven hope to fix)
3 Kartboy Regular Exhaust Hangers
SMY Gauge Cluster
Prosport Oil Pressure Gauge
Prosport AFR Gauge

I know I forgot something oh well. Brakes and Springs are going to be my first time installing and I forgot to order a speed bleeder will have to do that tomorrow.

These Arrived today, With AutoX on Saturday I am going to wait till Sunday to install since once installed I will need an Alignment. Also waiting on the Motive Brake Bleeder for the brakes just ordered today.

Not to mention you'll be able to tell the before and after difference.

The Goat · « **Reply #32 on:** May 15, 2012, 05:11:41 PM »

Yellows installed they make the car so much stiffer and feels much better cornering. Now just to try out at next AutoX

Car sounded awesome at castrol the other night, loving the look.

PARTS (not everthing I ordered but some)

Air Pump Delete Plates

These are for the center caps on aftermarket wheels not sure if I like them but going to give them a try.

Someone has already asked to borrow this but after he's done and I'm not using it anyone is welcome to borrow it while I'm still in Edmonton

Just because its pretty

Another step in chrome removal

Front Plate Delete since I ruined my old one in attempts to fix it.

Led License Plate Bulbs

I got AF-S 60 f/2.8G ED for my camera yesterday so I need to try it out

Small Update with bad pictures because I am lazy today and just used my phone.

I forgot to post this before but here is my dyno graph from Airboy.

Thank you Betacuts for the decals.

This looks weird in the picture but it doesn't look that crooked in person.

and I had these before but white and did not like the white so I got new ones.

My Dad · « **Reply #36 on:** June 09, 2012, 06:03:01 PM »

Coming along nicely dude! I think we're gonna need some higher res action on that dyno sheet though

The Goat · « **Reply #37 on:** June 30, 2012, 11:01:21 PM »

Took me a while but here you go Danny. Also updated first post

and some new photos of the car

silverSTi · « **Reply #38 on:** July 01, 2012, 12:12:41 AM »

So jealous, you're buying everything I want. I'm trying to save my money for a quad though haha. So far I am stage 2 with a custom Airboy tune as well. Thats it.

The Goat · « **Reply #39 on:** July 17, 2012, 05:31:42 PM »

So driving from Edmonton to Fort McMurray today about 50km north of Edmonton, I gave it a little gas and "SQUEAL" so after letting off gas and sound went away. So I tried giving it a little gas with same results "SQUEAL". I guessed boost leak so I keep it under 3k RPM and only give it a 20-30% throttle all the way to grasslands which is my rest point/gas up on my trips back and forth. I popped the hood hoping it would obvious and nothing broken and I found.

This

and I did this

then I got stuck behind these things 4 time that only go 50km/h on the highway, welcome to highway 63.

My SMY Gauge Cluster Version 2 has arrived a week or so ago. I am very disappointed in it I was expecting something much high quality I am going to make a full review when I get a chance (with pictures). I am not sure what the Version 1 looks like, I know AJ has one I will have to get him to post picture to compare.

Prosport gauges are also here when I get a chance to install soon I hope. My TSX-R projector lenses came today as well as new headlight sealant so people can stop pointing out my fogging headlights

. I can do the headlights at work so they should get done this week.

thetallone · « **Reply #40 on:** July 17, 2012, 05:52:07 PM »

Ya just got my cluster today as well. Not quite what I was expecting in terms of quality.

The Goat · « **Reply #41 on:** July 17, 2012, 06:15:21 PM »

Ya I am looking at this now
A pillar pod
not sure I need to decide and maybe sell my SMY

thetallone · « **Reply #42 on:** July 17, 2012, 07:19:13 PM »

I was looking at that as well. only problem with that I have is the texture wont match the other pillar.. (im so anal retentive about matching and symmetry..

)

Just got mine installed. Doesn't look that bad once installed. But based on my underground parking lighting it looks kinda brown compared to the stock plastic surround. Will have to go for a spin in a bit and see it in day light.

The Goat · « **Reply #43 on:** July 17, 2012, 09:04:52 PM »

That a pillar is textured, He is modifying OEM ones he does all 3 colors.

Ya I still have issues with it. The will be in the review I post tomorrow when I get a chance/not lazy to take the pictures.

Let me know what pictures you want and I can go snap some for you. What is the differences with the v2?

Isaakmc · « **Reply #45 on:** July 18, 2012, 10:35:32 AM »

Hey man your car is looking wicked! Do you have any pics of the finished interior pieces? I am curious on how it turned out.

My understanding is the improved texturing. I will get my pictures tonight and if you can match them for comparison.

Thanks, I haven't taken some photos of it finished because I am not happy with a few things I will take some pictures once I get some free time. I have day off sometime this month I think. I will clean the car and take some pictures.

The Goat · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2012, 07:52:16 PM »

Finally fixed my headlight I hope. I took them apart again yesterday painted the signal light reflector black still leaving the High beam reflector sliver for obvious reasons, Installed TSX-r projector lens and resealed with new OCI Butyl rubber glue which should fix my fogging issue I hope.

Rolled my rear fenders slightly which I hope was enough. I getto'd it with a 2" piece for PVC piping and a floor jack. Lifted car and slowly lowered it on to the piping in between the fender and the tire and rolling the pipe back and forth. Just hope I did it enough. My new wheels and tires are not scheduled for delivery on the 8th the day I am leaving for Edmonton. I really hope they do, I am currently on winter tires my summers have no thread left. Does anyone know why that white rubbery stuff is on the edge of the fender some came off while rolling.

I almost everything I need to install for gauges. Picking up heat shield bracket Wednesday and will get the bung welded on my down pipe Thursday. Should be all in before the weekend

Sorry no pictures. I will maybe get some when I am down in Edmonton.

The Goat · « **Reply #48 on:** August 13, 2012, 05:21:56 PM »

Sorry for the phone pictures, DSLR was left in Edmonton.

so I had to change this, it turned out to be quite easy once I found my breaker bar and liquid wrench for the caliber bolts, Axle nuts came off really easy with an impact and a 32mm socket.

Its the wheel hub/bearing for those who can not tell.

Then I picked these up from greyhound today

.

Advan TCIII 18X9.5 et45 with Hankook Ventus V12 Evos 265/35/18. They seem to have a very small stretch so I think I am going to try 275's next time I am pretty sure they will fit.

And installed

I did a quick test drive. Road noise seems to be lower that the stock Dunlop SP600's, Braking definitely improved, did not feel comfortable testing cornering on public roads so that is going to have to wait till the boxer battle. But I think they look very good. From my test drive around on the terrible Fort McMurray roads I do not have any rubbing. No hub centeric rings or hub caps, I am about to order those hopefully to have before the end of the week.

My Dad · « **Reply #49 on:** August 13, 2012, 05:47:17 PM »

Those wheels!! Drool!
Looks awesome!
