I'll definitely be at this meet next year! Is this usually in the Fall? Does the DC/MD crowd ever have a big meets in the Spring?
#43
Same to you. Because of NWP Engineering, I am interested in sponsoring and attending more meets than I have in the past. I plan to make my way up to DC, MD and NY for the big meets next year.

AMAZING work Chern! Love the vids and the car is looking tight.
Would love to see the dyno to see the real numbers the beast is putting down now.
Looks wicked quick but I still wince everytime I see FW tire squeals - lol.
Much repsect & keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback and props, work unfortunately takes precedence over tune right now because I have limited work week days off and all the tuning shops in my area are not available (or have full schedules) on Sat/Sun...

Ok, thats it. Chris youve inspired me to enter a level of greatness on a level of funds that is nearly non-existant. I'm thinking of kicking off "Maxinuff phase .10". Im getting 2, count em' 2 of these bad boys. Even thinking of doing the install myself.
Try to contain yourselves....

OK last update this thread, Fixed the bracket and reinstalled the driver side PIAA 9000 fog (would not fit with the intercooling piping before), powder coated the side silver intercooler piping (sides) and started the cutout for the new full size spare (those of you just catching up, with Wilwood BBK front/rear my donut spare no longer fits). Car heads to the paint shop on January 7th...

Hey Chern how do you like the KDW's for handling and wet driving? I am eyeing some Michelins for the Z wheels but have always wanted a set of the BFG's. I had ZR's on my first car and loved them. Also did the 255/45's mess up your spedometer? Tad taller etc. Thanks in advance.

OK superb tire for wet / dry, definitely a no no for snow. Grip, traction and top speed are all top notch and the side wall is only a tad higher which really has not impacted by speedo. And this is my second set of KDW's (sold the last set with my older rims) that I've purchased so that says a lot for how much I like them. I also considered Nitto 555 and others but these just sit and handle right for my goals...

Thanks for the input but NO, this is my daily driver and too many butt heads still do not know the fundamentals of opening a door and the last car I did see that shaved the trim off his doors just swapped from the door protector to a door indentation with no protection...

Wow Chris. Your car is looking hella sharp. Sporty but classy, aggressive but not ricey looking at all.
And...you're still making visual improvements (Phase III).
Absolutely unreal. No question about it, the baddest 6th Gen on the planet and the universe bar none!!!
I love the fact that people are asking "what kind of car is that"? I bet the compliments come very often. Awesome customization. Truly a work of art. I love the spare wheel/tire idea. Get a flat and you're still rollin' clean and ready to kik some boootay.
Slap me five on the high side Bro (old school).
