Well I've had the car for about 2 weeks and love every minute of it! Other than the rpm troubles I'm having now... Should be sorted out tomorrow!! Just wanted to update on what I've been up to with it!
-MBRP exhaust, moded and installed last week!!
![[Image: 1ac82e6d.jpg]](http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l545/MuskokaST/1ac82e6d.jpg)
- cfm shorty antenna installed!
- have a steeda sts on it's way, should be here tomorrow hopefully!!
- bought ebay black housing stock headlights, on the way also, should be here next week!
- Friday, going to my buddies shop to get all four windows and back window tinted, 35% front two and one step darker for the back three
- ordered a European black ST emblem, plan on debadging it and just have the euro ST on the back
That's all for now... Been talking about it with the wifey for a while about a turbo, and pretty sure I'm keeping it N/A for a year or two! So in the mean time, I plan on getting 1.5" drop (just springs), eibach sway bar kit, steeda Sri with cfm 65mm tb, hopefully get a hold of an old power steering set up to be able to get a cossie IM with out moding it.
Can't post direct pictures cuz I'm on my iPhone, but I can post photobucket links if one of the moderators wanna add them after!
Thanks for checking out my ride!

Do struts and springs together... the sway bar kit can wait imo.

Rims are soon, enkei ev5's hyper black in 17"... And not sure I I'm gonna do the struts yet... Might run lowering springs on stock struts till they go to shït... Then pick up either coilovers or new struts... We'll see what happens

Steeda sts arrived today, as well as my new black euro ST badge... Car is in the shop today, hopefully figuring out my idle problem.... Also, tint got put on friday!!! Looks awesome other than there's some dirt in my back window film so there's tiny little air dots on the one side... However, it was my friend that just got his tint license with Llumar, so he's gonna put a new piece on when we have a nice warm week, not too worried about it! Also got a little strip along the front of the windshiel, buddy had it put on when I went to pick it up, looks pretty cool! Will take pics when I install my sts when the car gets back!

I have the Steeda STS also. I love it! It feels much better driving with the shorter shifter. Not to mention it looks much better visually.

Installed carbon fibre shift boot and e-brake boot, thanks to Ken (Ztwsquared). The shift boot was a breeze to install, however for the e-brake boot to come out I had to remove the centre console... Easy enough, tool about 10 minutes to remove. Total time to install both, roughly 45 minutes due to macgyvering the bottoms of the boots to the plastic rings (had to reuse each staple through the same holes lmao)! LOVE THE LOOK THOUGH! Thanks Ken!

Just changed my tranny fluid... 70 bucks later in tranny fluid (FoMoCo# xt-m5-qs)...Pretty simple... Drained the old fluid (man im glad i change it, it was black!)... Got 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD clear tubing that slid right onto the end of funnel than weaseled the tube down past the radiator and into the fill hole!! Added the required 2.1 quarts... Put back in fill plug and dropped it down... Shifting is sooo much smoother! And atleast the next nine times I change my tranny fluid I only have to buy 2 quarts so it'll only be 40 instead of 70!!
