Cut and buff those taillights and they'll turnout glossier. A couple coats of clear coat would also help bring out the glossiness as well

Looks good though.

going to the dyno tomorrow. Took the FRS with AVO turbo for a spin down the street. All under 35 mph

AIM dash isn't hooked up because the ecutek is hogging up the obd2 port

Stock air box was not on the car. It was in a pile of stuff in the garage that I am clearing out.

I can't exactly post up the numbers since we are technically out of spec. I'll be going back to the dyno to dumb down the set up.

But our baseline before the turbo charger was pretty depressing.


167...

Our target for the racing series is around 225hp. We did overshoot this number by about 60%
