You like that huh, well coming from a microtech family its new to me the way this car is set up. The previous owner kept everything that was running on the oem computer and installed the standalone along with everything. The trigger wheel is custom its welded on to the underdrive pulley and has custom brackets holding it. Weird YES! will it work in the future when i want to make more power--?---.
I talked to my tuner and we will see what we can do with this system since its not very popular. Maybe its got to do with the fact that it cost 2600 bux and its not as simple as a haltech or microtech.

Looks great! Glad you made it back. Marines right? I see all the gear sitting in the back of the garage and it looks like the Marine camo set up and color.
Keep the project going it looks beautiful.

Thanks to all I really appreciate it , some people dont know the stuff we go through when we are in harms way but a simple "Welcome Home" or Thank You, gives me and my fellow marines motivation to do it again.
I heard Ken Sheppard runs it.

More goodies arrived,
Ferrari weighted shift ****- pretty heavy
New d/s inner door seal
My CSA plate with member sticker
Update on my wheels, the tire place I am getting the NT05 ordered a wrong set of tires so they had to return them. They say I am scheduled to have my tires tomorrow so we will see. Ravspec forgot to ship my lugnuts and hubcentric rings because the wheels had to do a detour to Work so I should be getting them tomorrow also.
Not really a "BIG MOD" lol but just trying to keep the thread alive.

you shouldn't have a problem with the front's...those Nitto Nt05's stick like a ****...but get an ALIGNMENT ASAP as soon as you have the ride height figured out... the 265's in the rears...i'm closing my eyes and praying for ya in the rear...no question you'll have to roll the fenders...but you might have to pull them as well.. 265/40's wouldn't fit on my 9.5 rear...but in this case maybe the 10in wheel and 35 series will keep it clear.. Good luck man! can't wait to see it.

Thanks
Cool I asked Rishie from autoRnD for advice and these are the specs he gave me per my requests.
Basically I told him I didnt mind rolling but didnt want to pull. He gave me the best fitment possible . I am running a bit of camber in the rear I am going to raise the car tomorrow once I bring the wheels home then adjust accordingly until I can get back to a safe yet aggresive stance.
We will see, Mannykiller I got the NT05 because of you man..lol
I was going to run azenis but when I told my tire guy I found a cheap place for wheels he beat them.
