And my wife should be picking up my swift springs as we speak from FedEx.
Hopefully I'll get those installed in a couple of weeks.
But I'm running out of things to do

Twin turbo? Supercharger ?
Exhaust? Test Pipes? HFC? Wheels?
Tune?

Default Swift springs and Stillen sways installed

Finally got my Swift springs and Stillen sways installed.
Didn't lower the Z as much as I thought it would, but it may be too soon, and a valid alignment (both front and back) still needs to be performed.

Edit: 2/14/11 9:15pm
A decent picture in the sun!!!!

You need a rear camber kit before your rear tires get uneven tread wear.
Your sway bars may be making this worse...
That should be at top of your list.
Afterwards an exhaust is definetly needed.
And a tune would also benefit!
Car looks great btw, springs in general take a bit to settle so I don't know if you noticed but I'm sure it dropped a lot more than when you first installed them!
Nice journal, keep it up!

Thanks Crown.
Front and Rear camber kits are on the way.
Now if I could just get some sunlight to get some better pics.....

Default Bill's modification list

The list of mods is getting too long for my signature block.
I think I'll just put it in a list here.

Default Replaced Exhaust System

Got the exhaust system replaced yesterday - Dam that's expensive!!!!
Now have Stillen Ceramic Coated headers, a Tanabe Y-pipe, and the Tanabe Medalion cat back exhaust system.
Going to have to get used to the sound, and hope I don't get a ticket for the noise (I'm just paranoid right now).

Default Dyno Results

I think I've done everything to the Z that I'm going to do.
Okay, I think I've done all of the MAJOR things I'm going to do to the Z
Time to see how it all panned out.

rats, missed it by 2!!!! 298 rwhp with 235 lbs rwtq.
Although that was on a DynoDynamics machine, which they say is typically low.
Add about another 10%(?) to estimate what it would be on a Dynojet
(really? 328 rwhp with 259 lbs rwtq would be sweet!!!)

You won't have to worry about the exhaust. When you left Starbucks today Whitney and I were commenting on the good sound. Not too loud at all but a good sound none the less.

Thanks everybody.

Jon - I hope you're right about the volume. Cause from the inside, when I stomp on it, it's LOUD.

Default Sealed and Widened

Sealed: My wife has a Silver 96 Subaru Legacy. She had the paint sealed at Ziebart fifteen years ago and has had it renewed every year since. The car still looks great. So, I decided to give it a try.
The Z looks good. I think it gave the Black Cherry a little bit of depth. And I washed it today, and boy did the water bead!!
Widened: I ordered a set of H&R DRM 20mm spacers for the rear. They FINALLY came in, and I was able to install them yesterday. It was as easy as changing 2 flat tires. Nice.
