Aaaaaaaand my long quest is almost over.

One more trip to the bodyshop to fix some paint issues, maybe clearbra the car, install the Spirit R plate and a couple more trips to IRP for some small issues and possibly redo my bushings and this baby is DONE. I won't be collecting more Spirit R parts for a long long time now...hopefully.

Well, it's been a while. Things have been really busy lately after an awesome summer. I'm glad to report that the car is doing well. Over the summer, finally had the chance to let Brian (TitaniumTT) get his hands on my car haha. I've always liked the guy and admired the craftsmanship on his FC so I had a single turbo conversion done at speed1 while he was there. The car has been really good to me and super fun. My bumper has a lot of carbon on it now. The summer of fireballs.

Can't say that the engine bay is pretty but the car really runs like a champ. Brian and Speed1 really did a great job.

Need some fine tuning with idle, some paint correction and some ins and outs I'll probably visit IRP for. Other then that, I finally think that the only thing left for this car is cosmetics and that feels really good to finally say now.
