well they didn't tune it. we just went there to use thier dyno. Dan (Guru^) tuned it. The owner is a pretty cool guy too. I'd go back again. especially if i had a ford product. He was saying though that they just started doing LS1 stuff too.

forgot to post some updates, and forgot dates at which they were done, so i'm just going to throw these in here and some pics once i get them!
Ptuning fuel return system.
painted rims a gunmetal ish color with a blue pinstripe around the edges.
also painted the trim around the vents blue too.
can't think of anything else i did. saving up for some other things, but i do plan on picking up a PLX multi gauge for boost and oil pressure though.

it doesn't matter where you hook it up to. as long as it's on a vac source. you put it on the turbo because it's the closest to the turbo with the most accurate reading. i actually have mine coming off the IC piping before the BOV now though.

i just bought a set of konig illusions 18x8, and yokohoma s drives, 225x35(i think) so once i get those in i'll be for a while
but, the big question is... what lug nuts should i go with?
not so much as what brand, but should i go with black, or a blue? i have a lot of other blue accents on the car (as you can tell from the rest of the thread) and this summer most likely, i will be painting the car flat black (unless i find a different flat color i want to paint it)
please help!
I'm not mounting these anytime soon, i got them for autocross this summer. so i have plenty of time to decide.

hah I didnt realize you had a build thread. Lookin good man
......but wheres the pics with mounted rims
what color lugs did you go with?
I feel like a blue that matches the blue on your rims would look good, as long as you do not also paint the calipers blue (gold maybe?)

well i was going to take pictures once it stopped raining, but now that it's done raining... it's snowing....
so pics are coming! but i have some blue lugs that match the accents on the rims perfectly! and if i were to paint my calipers it'd be black. because if i keep this car long enough, the car will be going black lol

congrats on 100k, rims look great, especially with the stage 2 rotors... you should definitely paint the calipers black if you're bored one day...
but whats this with you hinting on not keeping the car much longer?? no me gusta
keep it and get that ish painted already

i just drove an S2000 the other day! if i could get enough for my car, it's possible it'll be gone. but my girlfriend wants me to wait til i graduate and then pay off the tC and then buy the S. So i dunno what's going to happen lol
I've got a bunch of future projects to happen this summer. So i'll just add the calipers to the list! thanks for the advice! ^^ and thanks for the compliment on the rims! ^^

haha yeah, my car has come a lonnggggg way since that little meet we did before the dream cruise. and i'm not done yet! lol
but i'm not really selling it like full on, if i can get a buyer. awesome. if i can't get a buyer. awesome lol I really want to get an S2000, but sometimes i think having a 2 seater wouldn't be good. and i love my tC.
