Spring time = UPGRADES!

Post by Terens »

Rather pumped for the warm weather coming up!

This means I get to mod my car more, since buying my 850R I have done some regular maintenance and a not much performance.

So far I've:

-New fuel pump last september
-Had a CPS sensor die
-Replaced my alternator
-Bought a new battery (out of principle)
-replaced a control arm with a worn bushing
-Installed my MBC today! (and am now consistently getting 15 PSI)

I've sort of known my rear shocks were blown, and finally sucked it up and ordered some Koni yellows.
I also ordered a 18T upgrade kit (wheel and housing) and a OBX exhaust. Waiting on them to accept my payment and ship!

What are your plans for the spring?
-IPD Stage 1 ECU Tune, MBC and 18t Upgrade in the works!
