History
My one-year anniversary! I bought this car February 7th 2013... coincidentally exactly one year before the deadline of February ROTM! I bought the car in Las Vegas and drove it to California. After loving life with my dream for a few days, on February 12th I drove the car to FSR Motorsports where it was undergoing a complete overhaul. 11 months and 3 weeks later, I received my baby back with over 500whp of daily-driven awesomeness. It has only been a year since I owned my dream car and I devoted my passion into making my dream car into a reality. This month my girlfriend and I have mapped out an entire 7 day road trip from California to Rhode Island. Some people do not daily drive their race car... I will be doing a cross-country road trip in mine. When I designed the build I did so in a way that made the ProEFI seem like the perfect choice. I can drive around at 300whp on pump or put some e85 in and have the ecu automatically adjust the boost. I wanted to build an ideal street car, in my opinion and preference, and I won't stop until it becomes a reality. Thank you for your time in visiting my garage.

Interior
Stripped rear hatch, short shifter, Corbeau FX1Pro racing seats (soon to be roll bar with 5 pt harnesses). Inside of my center console I have a knob that changes my settings from 300whp on pump to 500whp+ on e85. Next to the knob is the PROefi 128 CAN Display-- monitoring anything and everything. I also have a mounted go-pro camera attached to the sunroof.
Exterior
Aftermarket sunroof. Going with the stock/sleeper look; wingless and dropped.
Audio
Removed the stereo (wasn't working when I bought it stock).
Suspension
K Sport coilovers.
Wheel and Tire
Stock wheels with beefy snow tires- brrrr!
