gianca Report post Posted August 28, 2012 The last addition to the project is to stiffen the suspension as on my first drive on the car it feels like the whole front wants to come off the ground; with the help of my buddy Nick I order stiffer springs for the front and rear, more update to follow. I just measure the stock springs in order to get the new ones... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianca Report post Posted October 3, 2012 I decided to wrap the car on “Frosted Clear” by XPel which is 3 times as thick as regular vinyl as well as it gives a whole different look texture to the color of the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianca Report post Posted October 3, 2012 Last weekend I decided to take the car to Jason Heffner and his crew for their review, it did not matter how busy they were quickly after I arrived the wizard tuner Aaron Miller plugged his laptop and started adjusting and revising the maps, then he suggested for us to take a ride… His first question was; how much power do you want? I just wish that I would it load all of the GoPro on the car, it was amazing; just with 30 minutes worth of tuning made the car feel so reliable and super powerful, I had to ask him to lower the boost as it was a little wild driving on the road… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
