Nice!

Thanks!

It already has a stage 1 tune from the previous owner. With these supporting mods, I’m considering upgrading to the stage 5 tune.

130k miles on the clock. The motor still sounds good and the turbos feel tight. The 8HP trans feels solid as a rock.

Perhaps this fall I’ll get after some turbos and DPs. There’s a wee bit of oil burning, so I think the valve stem seals need attention soon too, and as long as I’m in there I’d probably do the timing chain. Also the whole suspension could use a refresh. There’s still a lot left on the list! Never a shortage of work to do!

Are you deleting the chrome on your door handles??.. if so.. use vinyl wrap, don't buy the metal covers that go over them, they don't match up very well and are very flimsy.. I tried 2 different ones, both sucked.. I wrapped mine they are fine

I wish I took pics of when I did it last night, but I had this awful loud sound when my fan was on.. heat or A/C. found out I had a bunch of leaves in the the cage, the foam filter on the outside went bye bye and let in a bunch of debris. took it out cleaned it out and blew out all the grime and shit in there, replaced the filter with HVAC filter.. cut to size and hot glued the ends in original spot, sounds really good and blows alot harder now.

Is there some kind of blackout or chrome delete for those chrome strips on the door handles available in the aftermarket? I was thinking about ordering new door handle pulls (so I get new LED lenses) and having the chrome bits painted body color.

All you need is a small roll of vinyl wrap.. stretch it on, heat is, run your razor around it, it looks perfect, I'll take a pic of mine tonight

It was really quite easy, I watched a youtube video.. dude had it timlapsed, but it is obvious what has to done. you don't have to, but I disconnected battery and removed the power cable to the top tray under the cowel to make more room, once you get the unit out, there is 4 screws holding the top lid take that off you can clean the whole cage, I wikped the doors down also with simple green, it was kinda grimy in there

Placed an order for a set of CTS tail lights ... opened the package I thought something looked off, the lights had a few extra connections and some of the lights didn't work, ended up getting lights for a G30... that and the F10 lights match-up perfectly but the electrical connections are different.... I really loved the look, but had to send them back!
