Default New parts, cant wait

Well fella's i am over here in afganistan. Since i have been here i have saved up some money and i just dropped a couple grand on parts, here is what i got.

Steeda UPD, Steeda aluminum drive shaft, BBK longtube headers ceramic coated, x pipe and then boom tubes. i also bought a husrt comp shifter, and hawk high pro brake pads, steeda panhard bar, and a 160 thrmostat.

So i am sitting here i have two more months left here and when i get back all that will be on my car, i already have a C&L cai and tune from brenspeed. So i am thinking this is gonna be one sick car and its gonna be a night and day difference. not to meantion sound amazing. Oh yeah i have yet to buy the fr500 rims with nitto 555's then i think i am done modding for a while.

cant wait for the seat of the pants test!!

Get the FRPP 3.73 gear set and find a shop to do the install....that alone would be a great seat of the pants difference from the 3.31. Congrats on the new parts and be safe and thanks for serving our great nation!

Sorry if I stopped reading about the mods after I caught a glimpse of the 2 of you guys being in the middle east. Just wanted to let you know that my family and I salute you guys for your service to this country and helping preserve its freemdoms. Be safe out there and God Bless You Guys/Girls of the US Military.
