Looks good, that's what I used to have on there actually...but I'm seeing too many other "punisher" themed cars lately, time to change it up! Was thinking of maybe a turbo.

Little progress report...
Hit 500 miles yesterday so guess that means the clutch is broken in now. Had a squeak around the damper area so I removed my new ATI damper and belt. Damper also looked like it had a little wobble to it, so I was concerned maybe my crank was screwed up. Turns out I didn't install it correctly I guess, the damper was not flush with the hub all the way around. It was barely off, but enough to make it look wobbly! Took it apart and put it back together with a new belt, no more squeaking and no more wobble!
Also had a bad knocking or ticking each time I turned my wheels, I thought it was because of the BMR stuff and airbags, figured I may have to live with it but decided to at least try to locate the noise. Had the wife turn the wheels while I was under it and found my steering rack bolts that hold it to the BMR k-member just needed a little snugging! Greased all the zero fittings while I was under it front and rear, now it's smoother than ever! And no more damn clicking!! Been a good weekend!

Those steering rack bolts are tight as hell going in. Easy enough for them to bind a little and you think the nut is tight. I just got mine put back in an hour ago after pulling it to install headers today.
Car is looking great. I wish I could spend that much time on appearance but I seem to get real tired after doing the performance stuff and the appearance items always take a back seat.

Holy shit Paul, just read through the whole thread to find out what I missed! Your hardwork paid off for sure and I love the new look and setup! How does the air suspension feel/handle?

Since I don't race it anymore, all it sees is the street ( I may autocross it ), So I added a few comforts to the car I normally wouldn't if I was racing it still. I can't even punch it without the tires breaking loose as it is, I'm planning to start building a road course car soon, something simple with a lot of suspension just for fun that I won't be too worried about if something happens to it!
I love the airlift! I was very impressed taking it around corners, I still have not pushed it 100%, but far as I can tell it has eliminated a lot of body roll! the bags hold their height with no coils to compress so the car dosnt bounce like it use to around corners. The adjustability on the fly is priceless, steep driveways are no longer a concern. I have a preset for driving, driveways and slamming it for car shows, not sure what to do with the other 5 presets yet,lol.

Paul it is all your fault! Even though it could be a couple of month before I am well enough to do the install (with the Canadian dollar heading further south daily) I am going to pull the trigger on the digital combo kit.

awesome! i love it, the install is super easy! Only part i didnt like was drilling the 2 holes needed to pass the airlines to the rear bags, but still that was not difficult at all if you have a short impact drill that can get into tight spots. i have a thread on my install you may want to check out. i mounted my tank to the rear deck to give me a little more room than most who mount it to the bottom.

It is so, will just have to ditch the Racestars or I will end up bulging the fenders!
Paul, already have your install thread bookmarked! Saw your idea about mounting the tank on the rear deck and will give it consideration.

No fear Jeremy have been convinced for a long time, but it is a big dollar commitment in Canada.

You need a mad turbo.
I'm sure you could find a better one than this but you get the idea.

How about the snail from the Disney movie "Turbo"?
