I'm currently tuned to Stage 1 with a Cobb AP v2, that is until I get the JDM TBE that is on order and I'll go Stage 2. After that, I'll get a Pro Tune when the real performance parts get installed.
You might want to say in you post that you are on a Cobb map, on a stock turbo the stock intake really is the best choice... I just don't want to see anything bad happen to you car, that's all

Probably going back to the stock air box with a hi flow foam filter soon. Thanks for the heads up. After I bought the SF intake I started seein forum posts about this. Same with the BOV that's why I capped it up and now it's just a pretty looking BPV. I couldve used the $ to get some suspension mods...I guess I had to learn the hard way. I might be selling the intake and post MAF tube soon if you know anyone.

Yep. The grommet and my house....it never ends. I spend all my free time in the garage wrenching. No sense in leaving you know? Mama alwasy knows where to find me and that keeps her content.

Washed, clayed and waxed the ride last night...5 hours of serious elbow grease...looks good in the end. I need a good swirl remover and a Porter Cable polisher for the next detail job, go all out!

Started a little project today, clearing the headlights and painting the shrouds black to match the grille. The paint turned out nicely, now it's time to wait patiently until the shrouds dry, pics to come soon...

Of course, when I put everything back together I blew a headlight out. Time to make another trip to the store.





Added a coar of wax on Friday night and the headlights look brand new!

Wow... Lots of progress in only one month.

And the "VIP Member" thing is slapped on when the mods/admins notice a member actively supporting the community. Usually by organizing events and meets. Really not that exciting, I think the only thing you get with the VIP status is just a status, the only real change is that you get a bigger PM box I think.

Thanks...I do like the feeling when I finish a detail. I will probably take you up on this offer sometime, but for now I'll continue with my regiment! Gotta try the double bucket wash, legit stuff!

What products do you use?
