So I haven't updated in a while and a TON has happened...
For the most part the swap is in, the car runs, an exhaust is mounted (not ideal but it is on), suspension is aligned and she can scoot. I haven't pushed it at all yet as I'm breaking in the clutch but power is nice! Still working on misc. little things and like with all swaps have a TON of smaller projects (wiring, covers, mounting brake res, intake routing, etc.). I was able to run it over to Cars and Coffee on Saturday and it didn't blow up! So that was a little boost of confidence...
I've been eyeing the GC street kit (coils, Konis and camber plates) but have that on hold as I'm buying a house and have a wedding in a month and a half. Fun, fun. Once that all settles down I'll finish the Mtech II kit, hopefully get some Apex Arc-8 wheels and the suspension!
Hopefully I can get a video up soon!

Misc.
