Just got done putting together a shopping list of parts I need for a future headlight mod. It will be sinister and EXTREMELY cost effective. I also got my car realigned after my sideways slide incident from a few weeks ago. The alignment was a bit off but now she's tracking straight.

had the day off so i got my custom dual exhaust setup done. a little bit rough in the beginning because my rear lip wasnt on yet due to my muffler not clearing it. so what they did was cut the muffler off, and do a semi-dry fit with the lip. so i cut into my bumper and held it up with some double sided tape so they can see where the mufflers go. ill clean up the bumper cutout later today.
overall im satisfied with the install. the car did get a little quieter which i like. i dont really see any loss or gains as far as performance.

why ppl downshift when you coming to red light?
you wearing out clutch, trany and wasting gas
its easier to replace brake pads then all those components

If you rev match when you down shift, you won't cause any undue wear to your clutch or transmission. Also, you use less fuel if you let your engine slow you down instead of keeping your car out of gear and you use your brakes.

I was practicing rev matching today. It is really fun when you are driving and when you do it correctly the car feels so smooth, But it still feels weird since you are reving to change gears to slow u down. lol going to go practice some more I am really scared that I might shift to the wrong gear.. + 3rd popping out doesn't help me either.

Replaced my front right fork, front left hat, and other miscellaneous suspension hardware. I also assisted Cham with doing my valve adjustment.

Nice pickup man. Definitely get that alignment soon.
I put in a couple bids last night on some parts for my next project. Can't wait to get that ball rolling. In a little while I'm going to change my long overdue oil in the engine and tranny. Possibly chop off the "wings" on my rear bumper. I'm also going to help my friend swap his TPS and clear the codes he's got. Full day ahead.
