Painted SAP grilles, spoiler elimination, factory 18s (or CV8 wheels), some debadging, etc. Here's my wife's GTO. If you look close you can see quite a few subtle things that really make a big difference.

If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say.

This is the picture of that as it comes with the car: <a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/user/rx7turbo929/media/DSC01858_zpsn6cwkect.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/rx7turbo929/DSC01858_zpsn6cwkect.jpg</a> Here it is with that part blackened on both sides, first with lights off, next with lights on: <a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/user/rx7turbo929/media/DSC02790%20Custom_zpszsy8vwtf.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/rx7turbo929/DSC02790%20Custom_zpszsy8vwtf.jpg</a> <a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/user/rx7turbo929/media/DSC02794%20Custom_zpslgfkzusb.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/rx7turbo929/DSC02794%20Custom_zpslgfkzusb.jpg</a> Now, here is a new Cayman S which I think uses the same general idea: <a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/user/rx7turbo929/media/more%20new%20cayman%20s%20nose_zpsupdvd8vf.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/rx7turbo929/more%20new%20cayman%20s%20nose_zpsupdvd8vf.jpg</a> I only did it because I am getting new ones and am gonna keep these two pieces just in case. So, standard or blackened? Just curious. They are easy to take off and put on so I can change them around if I want.
And a gratuitous pic of a sweety with the same year and color as mine: <a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/user/rx7turbo929/media/hot%20mama%20and%20cayman_zpsvytjo1xq.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/rx7turbo929/hot%20mama%20and%20cayman_zpsvytjo1xq.jpg</a> I like the blackened look, myself. |

Of course this is all from a dyno and we all know they can give different readings based on a million reasons, but it's a good tool to get an idea of why I'm able to go Mach Jesus in no time flat, haha!

New exhaust but I am more impressed with the difference a $5 spray bottle of Turtle Wax, wax and dry, made to the exterior after my normal wash.

Any magical spray detailers/waxes I should be aware of? I am going to do a full body paint correction in a few weeks to get out all the micro swirls and small chips. |

I live in West Texas, so quite a bit of dust for commuting within the city limits of an urban area...
My car looks like I was prerunning some Baja routes if I leave the garage open during a windy night. I have heard good things about Chemical Guys, might have to order some products. Thanks for the tip. |

My car is currently insured as "storage" due to seasonal changes. So I haven't been driving it.
After I installed it, I took it around the block and I did notice that the surging/bucking was smoother at 1500 RPMs. My cam has a 110 LSA with 25 degree of overlap. My NW 102 TB and Halltech MF108 just got delivered and installed yesterday when I took that picture. It'll need a retune for sure before I can really get a feel for how it will drive. The install is straightforward. The build quality on it is so-so. There was a lot of excess plastic on the mold lines. I trimmed and sanded all those down. But if it makes the power that it's supposed to, then I'm a happy camper. |
