I have done 95% of work myself. Dyno tuning at R/T Tuning - Dyno video Dyno sheet - Dyno sheet Picture I bought the car late August 2011. It's a 2009 Touring with Sport, had 6500 miles on the odometer, and had the Stillen Gen 3 intakes already installed. Recent accolades,

Here it is when I purchased it,
http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6135/6...cf66cfe9_z.jpg gf370z by J M Gale, on Flickr And now it looks like this, https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...50804312_n.jpg http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6190/6...ff4960cb_z.jpg IMG_0937 by J M Gale, on Flickr It didn't take long for the mod bug to take over. First upgrade was Berk Technology HFC (high flow catalytic) and CBE (catalytic back exhaust). I did i write-up for the exhaust with plenty of pictures. You can read it here, My Berk Technology HFC and CBE experience http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6177/6...511b2366_z.jpg IMG_0999 by J M Gale, on Flickr Next Mod was Swift springs. I installed them near the end of October 2011 just before I put the car into storage. Here's how it looks after the Swift springs were installed, http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7192/6...c128f7c8_z.jpg Cleaned Up by J M Gale, on Flickr The next day I drove to SG Motorsports and had them tune the car with UpRev and also fix up my alignment. Here are the results, http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6213/6...ee1f5484_z.jpg Dyno by J M Gale, on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6236/6...eeb282a3_z.jpg Alignment by J M Gale, on Flickr While the car was in storage I installed a TWM short shifter and TWM leather shifter boot. I did a DIY for the install. Tons of good pictures here, DIY - TWM short shifter leather shifter boot Next I ordered a set of Carbon B-pillars from EVO-R. They arrived with a manufactured defect and this began my run of poor customer service with various supporting vendors from this forum. There was zero communication from EVO-R and I needed to file a claim through PayPal. I did eventually get a refund, less the cost of shipping the parts back. Unfortunately, this defect would not be hidden by and trim and would be visible 100% of the time. This is what the issue was, http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7150/6...7b6d60e3_z.jpg DSC_0272 by J M Gale, on Flickr Next mod while in storage was Whiteline Front and Rear swaybars with rear end links. Front, http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8209/8...52790fa9_z.jpg IMG_5484 by J M Gale, on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8347/8...ff874d85_z.jpg DSC_0551 by J M Gale, on Flickr Rear, http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8062/8...d108ab1d_z.jpg IMG_5493 by J M Gale, on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8344/8...4bc303b1_z.jpg IMG_5494 by J M Gale, on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8343/8...8665c90e_z.jpg DSC_0555 by J M Gale, on Flickr When spring finally came (early 2012) I did an extensive restorative detail including full paint correction and applying high heat wax to the brake calipers and wheels.

Thanks guys! I have a bunch of pictures to add. I'm in the middle of moulding my Mine's lip into my bumper and shaving/filling the front emblem. Also, I will be doing a full DIY of the Boosted Performance turbo kit install... should be a fun winter :tup:

Nice Build :tup:

Ah GaleForce is going boost! Nice!
Great build...and hey, car storage time means install time, so not bad when you have the space you do. |

I could use more space, but I'll make do with what I have. :tup: |
South Bend stage 3 clutch
Here is the clutch pictures. I called up Joe at ZSpeed Performance I told him my estimated future HP and Torque numbers (after the turbo install) and asked what he recommended.
This is what we came up with,
