So.....
Pulled it out of the garage on this beautiful day.....SUNNY DAY!
I took a look at it and couldn't wait any longer......went to buy a permit to drive it it.....that's right....maiden voyage!
Let her warm up(with the nerves getting the best of me)....rolled out down the road getting on it a bit...4000 rpm shift(seemed alot different than I remember)!
I wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna blow a boost hose off.
Car is totally warm now....get on it in first gear and rev limiter right now(first gear is a right off)...need a taller gear set,LOL!
I couldn't even think that fast to pull a shift(getting old),LOL!
Now 2nd gear on the other hand,FANTASTIC.....lovin' life right now!
Slow down a bit (traffic).
Head off for the HWY.....where I put it into second and pull 3rd and 4th.....
3rd gear is this car's forte,let me rephrase that 2nd,3rd and 4th....!
I didn't get the chance to pull 5th or 6th due to the fact first time out in four months and I didn't want to start the year out with a 'fat' ticket,LOL!
The funny thing is,it is awesomely quick BUT because it is soooo linear you don't notice it until you look back and watch the cars disappear in your rear-view mirror.
I wish I had a camera on me so you could see the grin on my face....you think I looked like an idiot before,should have seen me after this pull,LOL!
I get home and check the dash...no codes(cel's) thrown.There wasn't even a hiccup while driving it!
I gotta say GREAT kit,a bit of work to install but WELL WORTH IT and a ton of fun!
Pop the engine deck-lid do a once over look.....ready to go again....BYE for NOW!
Thanks again to all who looked and posted feedback through-out.... I would have given up if it wasn't for all you guys bumping me along!
Trust me when I say that....I don't mind failing,just not when your peers are watching!
Thanks again and if anyone needs help PM,leave a phone number and I will do my best to help you along(like a few did here for me)!!!

So Stacy ... time to trade it in for a TT. Then you can move over to the Turbo thread and we can watch you bump it up to 700+ HP
By the way, how about some close up shots of the side skirts and rear spats
