So as some of you know, I'm dropping the car off at HTPerformance tomorrow. Theres going to be a whole slew of fun parts going in 
When I get the car back I will update with a full list of parts, and what it puts down at the dyno after tuning.
The car is also getting front SVT brakes, as I needed new rotors anyways.
Meanwhile, here are some teasers:
Car all loaded up with the parts I have here (many, many more parts @ HTP)

A little present, an engine with 27k vs my 96k. Basically it cost me $150

FROM THE BEGINNING
I bought the car July 3rd, 2008 on my birthday. It had 86,xxx miles on it at the time.It came with no options except A/C, not even a tach! Came equipped with steelies and wheelcovers. Heres a stock shot:

First thing I did to the car was throw a set of Rox RT2 wheels on. They're 17x7.5 with 205/40/17 tires on them, +45 offset. I also bought a set of Eurostar Smoked LED tails for the car! (Yes I know it looked horrible with the wheelgap)

The next update for the car was a K&N FIPK II intake. It put down 123 whp, and 128 wtq before being tuned, haven't dynoed it since the tune went in. (Had an issue with the SCT software and couldn't find a tuner that worked for 3 months)
I then bought a redesigned Steeda STS, I was the second person to purchase one and get it in the car. I love it! It's pretty smooth.
My next major purchase was a set of D2 coilovers. I got a great deal on them! They didn't fit perfectly, I had to make a few modifications. No biggie, had to grind out part of the inner front strut tower. Heres some shots with the coilovers on!

The latter two were from the 2009 NEMS Kancamagus cruise!
I then painted the grill, and the lower front bumper black. It has black sidemarkers with two coats of tint on them, no good shots with the markers though.

Upon it's return it should be tucking tire on all 4 corners, provided Jason at HTP has time to do it in the agreed upon labor time allowment. If not, I'll get the fenders rolled another time and drop it.
