        So which do I need?


        Do I want a PnP system? That sounds like it would be easier to get physically installed, however, I would like to get it into the case of my ECU, for that (oo so nice) stock look.

        WHAT SAY YOU!?

          hey my man good work on your car :) Here is my recommendation after building my own MSII DIYPNP if you dont have experience soldering and dont have a steady hand it will be hard. I also added wasted spark, coil..etc... which I highly recommended.

          Bottom line It came down costing me more then if I was smart and would of just bought one already built MSII from Keith "whodwo" the guy is a pro and your 100% sure you get everything with support..worth every penny with the stock look ECU.

          Just my experience...

                  UPDATE: Finally, the day has come where the fixing ends and the modding begins.

                  Starting with...WHEELZ.







                  Star Specs and spacers are on the way, so I should have these on the car in the next week or so. :D

                        Got the wheels on and the fenders rolled. We'll see how it does.

                        Needs some more low, but it already rubs so bad!

                          Doesn't need more low. Looks sick.

                            Take off the spacers? And I disagree ^ definitely needs more low :)

                              Prolly needs spacers for the 9" to clear the struts.

                                Yeh I'm enjoying the meaty look of the 50 profile tires. I may look to bring the rear down just a tad, but that's not a priority.

                                And yeh, I needed spacers in the front, otherwise the wheels would hit the strut tubes. I put a 5mm in there, just to be safe.
