woohoo!!!! 199 more posts until we have to close this thread because it has 1,000 replies.
I picked up the car last night. Yes, night. So we turned on the vapor lights outside of the shop to see how it looked and it looked nice, but then it started to rain and I had to drive home thru the rain so the car is dirty.
That sucks, but it looks nice.

And FINALLY, after all my procrastination , I installed the RP Supercat. Install level from 1 to 10 I would say 2. Took us an hour and half to install. And Man oh Man does the new smell STINK so good!
I haven't taken it for a spin yet but no CEL yet. I reseted the battery and all the traction control and DSC. The factory cat is so much more heavier so by doing this, I think that the heavy RB catback + light RP Supercat = More Power.
As far as the sound goes, it sounds a little deeper. Its smoking like crazy right now so I gotta let that break in.

You should have asked Bill to make you a set of oil cooler screens. If he does, I get a cut of the profits since I let him check mine out and he got the idea of how to make them. hehe
Well, I have to go on a road trip in a couple of weeks and figured it's best to buy new tires. I have on that has a slow leak...maybe 1-2 lbs/inch per every other day. I can't find the nail or whatever. Plus the tires have been plugged numerous times. This puts off getting new brake system and new exhaust. Bummer.
Oh...and I'm still completely and utterly stoked about new paint. It just looks so nice.

Skwidd, congrats on the paint!!
Toeknee, I think I saw you on the Crescent City Connection earlier this week, but I wasn't in my 8. I hope the exhaust is working out for you.
Monique was rught, I was checking in on her because I thought some car parts may be up for grabs....just kidding Monique. If you host a get together, you can count me in for help.
Welcome SSgtUSMC and congrats to your son. Are you in Belle Chasse?
I am still waiting to put the RB Springs on the car. Unfortunately since my wife bought a Mini Cooper S the car funds have been divided up.
We really need to get together again. Hope everyone is doing well.
