working on putting together a water/methanol injection kit for the car, Im not getting it to make more power but to make the power safely. also have extended wheel studs and new lugs on the way due to breaking a lug at the track. Ill try to post some pics of the water meth install when I get everything I need.

thats the nice thing about the bumper dump exhaust. I don't smell my car like you would with a normal open d.p. also no issues on long trips. leaves a little bit of soot on the bumper but it wash's right off.

I think my turbo went out today so I will probably be ordering a sc34 monday
