Since I decided to keep my bitch I went ahead and ordered the FI exhaust carbon fiber w/12 resonators, gonna order gen 3 intakes around delivery time of exhaust then rims and maybe if funds are available upgrade the brakes. This gonna be a fun summer!

Edit: Going to get tuned right after exhaust and intake installs

That's a bummer man, hope **** works out soon. I wanna see that car back on the road!

SWEET! You wont' regret it!

by the way I'm going to get tuned at either Moore automotive or AAM competition. I'm planning on going within the next month hopefully (or however long it takes to get the test pipes I'm about to order).

There's a lot of mulling around, playing with maps on a computer, some runs on a dyno...over the course a few hours. Not missing **** if you head to the nearest Starbucks and wait. Lol

Painted my headlights and installed halo eyes this weekend. I am probably going to purchase the FI CBE w/18" resonator or Stillen CBE in a few weeks. I am debating on the Stillen sway bars now or buying the Stillen CAI and selling the CAI later once I get the Stillen supercharger.

BTW, Nissan of Chesapeake, is the best Nissan dealership I've been to as far as customer service. I had a key cut and program (I bought a spare uncut FOB on ebay) for $99 compared to $129 at other dealerships. Also, they can order Stillen products and install it. $800 for the supercharger and CBE install is not a bad deal.

I started on my backup cam but I'm not finish running the wires yet. I got to finish my research paper and start on my capstone project next week

I found the secret menu...

I think most Nissan dealerships have some type contract with those guys. The dealership I bought mine from (Pomoco) offer the same services. Oh and if you're thinking about Fast Intentions you should hop on it soon. I ordered mine last week and looking at a 1st week in May delivery. Plus you can put $300 down and pay on it until the week of delivery… That's what I'm doing at least. And wished I done it sooner. Which ever way you decide your CAI should be a quick sell on here.

There's no average. It is highly dependent on the shop, s/c, t/c or n/a, level of tune (are you going for 300whp or 900whp). It all plays a part in how long they spend on the tune. Typical packages are for four hours and will run you $500-800 easy. Some tuners can do it in half that time. Depends on their experience with your car and the software/flash program. For a solid s/c tune, $500 is a good starting bet.

Moore Automotive is $350 but you have to pay extra to get the uprev license. I'm assuming I'll pay around $600.

Meh. I don't like them anymore. I used to go there all the time and always went to the same girl. She was awesome and always hooked me up. She was the only reason I kept coming back. Then one time I called them up and she wasn't working there anymore. I went in anyways and they treated me like ****. Not going back anymore. I just go to Hall Nissan of Western Branch if I need anything now. I really hate going to dealers all together though, so I only go IF I REALLY NEED IT, and that's not very often.

I still have my FI and if you still want it let me know. I started to get some sellers remorse after I posted it for sale so I haven't bumped the ad. If I still have it in the spring I'm going to put it back on.

I'm still deciding between the FI and Stillen exhaust. The FI is cheaper if I buy it from you, but I like the Stillen because of the cabin noise level.

Would you deliver if I bought it from you since we live about 45 min from each other?
