Bakerjd's Build Thread - Project Honey Badger

[bakerjd]

Decided to take a different route today. I ordered some Toyo Proxes TR1s in 275/30/20 and 305/30/20 for the wheels today. Decided to put the build on hold for now. For now the mods will be as follows:

MGW Short Throw Shifter
Corsa Xtreme Exhaust setup (more to come on this)
True Forged three-piece Chicanes - Satin Black - 20x9.5, 20x11
Lowering Springs (Waiting to see what a few companies offer but Eibach Sportlines are the favorite as of now)

American Racing Headers, JLT CAI, Lund tune coming up shortly
Whipple 2.9L Supercharger eventually

Nice mods planned. If I had the 15 I personally would wait a bit before jumping into any hardcore mods myself to see how it all plays out with the aftermarket.

Btw I hear that MGW shifter is pretty great.

Got an update from Corsa Performance Exhaust today! Little teaser picture!

Ordered Steeda Sports today. We'll see what the BLACK Friday sales bring to the table. Might be making some big purchases in the next couple weeks.

Never cared for corsa much before.

But wow.

So far just from the teaser, that may be my favorite sound on the s550.

Wheels are finally mounted! Will update the original post once I can get some better pictures!

Looking sharp brother!

Thanks Mellow! Going to try to get some better photos soon. Been crazy with the holidays and work.

Did you dyno the exhaust setup? I'm curious because several mfrs are making big claims for performance increases. Anything from the butt dyno? Lol

 

[bakerjd]

The dyno numbers regarding the Corsa Xtreme setup will be released soon by the manufacturer. I'm not allowed to divulge that info.

More to come!

Car looks great, but also appears that you could use a healthy sized spacer on the front to push the wheel out a bit more. The grey one next to you has it's front wheel much more flush with the fender.
