So I finally finished the pedal install tonight and they look kind of meh if I'm being honest. They aren't cheap but look cheap is the best way to describe it.

Then upon testing once I put the floor mat back in I noticed...

The throttle sticks under the carpet. Isn't that fun. So I moved the gas pedal up one notch and...


All good. Crisis averted.

Baby is due in June, so I have some time there. The progress is based around the lift. I have kind of been in stand by mode waiting for it. Was originally supposed to be here mid November. Looks like it will get to my installer finally today or tomorrow. Still have to schedule a day with them once it does get delivered. Once I clear that hurdle I can start knocking more items off the list.

The body work items I knocked off were down force items. If I'm not going to open track the car no point in a Cobra R wing and splitter. Also no point in a Carter's Customs diffuser or side splitters. Was planning on 03 Cobra side skirts with the splitters but I will probably stay stock there too. I may decide to do them later, but no longer part of the plan for now.
Did you ever install the rear splitter?

No, the point I was making in this post was if I'm not going to open track it the diffuser and big wing really aren't necessary. That said I have seen the diffuser in person and it looks good. Can't speak to the install though.

Have abandoned the idea that I'm ever going to track this car whether it be Open, AutoX or Strip so I'm just focusing on getting the stance right while keeping ride quality in a good place while doing so. Have started with the rear suspension project this week. Items installed so far:

Eibach Pro Kit Rear Springs
Maximum Motorsports Poly Isolators
Maximum Motorsports Poly Snubber
Steeda Billet Weight Jacker LCAs Poly/Spherical
Koni STR.T Rear Shocks

I also cut out the Flowmaster exhaust that came in the car when I bought it. It had clearly been making contact with the driveshaft and was giving me trouble with the LCA install so it had to go. Hated the drone anyways.

Tomorrow I will get to the Quad Shocks and then Get to the UCAs and Differential Bushings in the coming days.

Going to have a chat with my tuner and see what he wants me to do fuel system wise for the blower and will knock that out as well as a differential fluid change before I finish off the back end of this car with a Steeda Adjustable 25mm Sway Bar and SLP LM1 cat back.

Got the new quad shocks in. No hiccups, straight forward... almost felt wrong lol

Also had a conversation with my tuner this morning. He did a pretty good job of talking me out of a positive displacement blower on a stock bottom end. So looks like I will be going the Vortech route. Still TBD on which intercooler route I want to go with.
