Hi all,

I picked up my 2011 Gunmetallic (KAD) 6MT in January of 2015 with right around 47k miles. It was mostly stock with the exception of a full Fast Intentions manifold back exhaust (HFCs and catback). From day 1 I knew that this car would be going in to the garage for major modifications, unfortunately, I was on work assignment for another 12 months in Argentina. My brother took care of the car while I was gone. Downside was that I was away from my car for a year. Upside, I was able to read a lot of forum threads and make wise decisions on what parts to buy. So over the past year I amassed parts; brakes, suspension, supercharger kit. With the idea of starting the project when I got home. I drooled over many builds during that time, from mild to wild, and took a lot of inspiration from the great cars on this forum. For now, I am going with very mild exterior mods, and focusing on the performance aspects, starting with the suspension and brakes.

Anyway, I started ripping her apart a couple of weeks ago. I hope folks enjoy the photos and any ramblings I might make.
