Y-pipe, high flow cat, GReddy SP2, TS ECU, 00 VI, PR CAI, H&R, Illuminas

She ran a 15.5 with a dead knock sensor so I'm well into the 14s with a properly functioning one.

Yes, 5spd swap in 11 days. No AE mod yet. I'm keeping the appearance mods to a minimum. I will paint my calipers when I put a BBK on. And yes, she'll forever be my Sleeping Beauty.

2. Clay the car
3. Wash again with Z7
4. Z5 to hide minor stuff
5. Spray with Z6
6. Z2
7. Spray with Z6
Repeat 6 and 7 two or three times
8. Spray with Grand Finale

All in all, three or four hours and your car will be blindingly clean.
