5PTOH purchase and build (SOLD)

[redline727]

Emailed Mike Rousch, will be switching back to him for my tuning needs. Submitted my order and he has all my info he needs. Just waiting on the tune now. Then will be data logging for him for some revisions. Very excited to be working with him again. He dyno tuned my 13 GT and it was perfect. He was just finishing up with the 15's when I got mine. So I went with Lund since he was rolling on them already. And Lund has been great. No complaints. But had such a great experience with Mike last time, plus he is local to me. His shop and dyno are only 20 minutes from me if I need anything.

Loaded my Mike Rousch tune on my lunch break. Took it for a quick spin around the block. Felt good. Will be data logging for him tonight in preparation for my first revision.

Sent in my data log for Mike. Should have a revision tomorrow. Also taking my strut brace off and bringing it to work and leaving it with the body shop to paint black. May bring in my original white mirror caps and have them painted shadow black as well to have a backup set.

Had my strut brace painted and my original mirror caps painted Black at the body shop at work. Will install later. I already have a set of black mirror caps I bought used. Thought I would have him spray my other ones while doing the strut brace so I had back ups.

Also waiting on my latest revision from Mike. Hoping this will be the last one. Been having cat overheat protection kick in and start throwing fuel in the mix. Mike doesn't like disabling that it the rear o2's like others may do with or without you having cats. I can appreciate his caution, but I told him if he feels it's holding the tune back disable it, if it kills a cat, well then it's time for cat deletes or LT's haha. But he prefers not take the chance and melt a cat. So he is trying some other stuff to get me power and keep the cats safe. We will see. I know on my Lund tune it's all disabled. Probably why I don't see that issue on his tune.

Installed my strut brace I had painted and some freshly painted black mirror caps I had painted as well. Still have my other set as back ups. But they were chipped. When it happens to these ones I'll have the backups repainted. The strut brace looks so much better black with the black intake, gt350 coil covers, and Mishimoto coolant tank, now just waiting for my Mishimoto oil separator...

Left her in the hands of Joel/Flawless Finish RVA for a much needed hand wash and spray wax to get me through till the pollen is gone then do the annual polish and seal.

Car is looking great man! Love the howling badges. The dash trim is a nice subtle touch too, can't go wrong with white. I think If I attempted orange it would look to boy racer'ish lol.

I dont think so. Not if they have a subtle orange. If was like neon orange, that would be a little much. Or maybe just doing the center stack trim?

Mishimoto oil catch can installed! I love everything about it, except maybe it wont be the easiest to empty.

Looking nice! What center bore did you give to Motorsport Tech for your spacers? I've seen 70.5 and 70.6. Also, where did you get the white PVC dash trim? I really like the look of that. Adds a nice touch without being over the top.
