Added a few new goodies last week

First was the Mishimoto oil catch can, this was a pretty easy job once I found a good how-to video on youtube.

Here is the kit pre-install




And here is the how-to video I used

And now for the big news....... wheels and tires are on

I ordered the wheels a couple weeks ago, and at the time TSW said they were on backorder and wouldn't ship out till late May, but somehow I got them within 2 weeks :hail:

I had them mounted at discount tire, and they used the longest lugnuts I've ever seen, so I will be changing those out asap. other then that I'm extremely happy with how the wheels look. Next step is to lower it, but I'm still undecided on which springs to go with.

Wheels:
TSW Bathurst
20x9 +20 front
20x10 +40 rear

Tires:
Sumitomo HTRZ iii
255/35/20 front
275/35/20 rear

Total for wheels and tires with tax, shipping, and install I paid less then $2100. not bad for a great looking wheel setup.










And of course I had to give the stock wheels/tires a proper goodbye

I would love to get it on a dyno, not sure when/if that will happen though. The closest shop with a dyno is 3+ hours away.

I forgot to update this after installing the Steeda springs and wheel hop kit, I've had them on for a couple weeks now. I'm loving the look with the springs, and there is definitely a noticeable difference in handling. Ride quality suffers a little, but it's not terrible. The wheel hop kit (IRS subframe bushing support system) does exactly what it's advertised to do, I now have ZERO wheel hop!

Here are a few pics

How does the ride quality suffer? more harsh?

Quite a bit more harsh on rough roads, but it's livable.

Also there is a lot more road noise, but I think that is caused by the wheel hop kit.

Very cool build!
