Well, not like anyone reads this **** anymore, but a few updates lol.

Since its last time here I've added a full 3 inch Roush Cat-back exhaust. Gives the car a pretty nasty sound while still saving some hope of passing emissions here.. Next up after that was the Breedt short shift arm (gotta see if I have a pic of that). Shortens stock shift by about 40% by just replacing the OEM shift arm with a lightweight one that has an adjustable setting on it. After that I went with a Cobb Acessport V3. Got in touch with the folks over at Stratified Tuning and they whipped me up a nice custom stage 1 tune to use with 93 octane. Made a night and day difference with the car in terms of throttle response, turbo output and overall torque (Probably the best $500 I ever spent). Then after that I did a new shift knob and a carbon fiber exhaust trim piece. Still up in the air about that one. Got it tinted out 20% all around, and upgraded the rear motor mount with a Torque Solutions one. It helps with the stupid level of wheel hop these have. Next have some small stereo upgrades coming soon; since I have an ST1 it has no audio capabilities at all, which is the only thing this car is lacking at the moment.

As she sits right now shes full Stage 1, ready to to stage 2 (FMIC) and 3 (cat-less DP) in the next few months. Holding those off because I need to update the tune with each of those mods (costs about $100 for a new map). So those will happen by the end of summer before I park this sucker for winter. By the time its all said and done with Stage 3 i'm looking at maxing out the K03 turbo (ballpark is about 280whp and about 310 wtq from what most have seen depending on the tweaks in the tune you get). After that, its big turbo of GTFO. Not sure what I want to do there.... ok yes I do. Plans are for the ATP GTX3071r but that is still way down the line.

All of this goodness with just a hair over 8,000 miles on it. Stay tuned for the next updates!
