I noticed some apparent damage to the body of the car when I changed the battery. Not sure what to make of this :/

UPDATE: The damage is confirmed to have been caused by a set of adjustable CPP upper control arms that I had on the ccar for a while. The rear upper arm has a large bolt that can in some circumstances bottom out on the underside of the fender well, causing the dent in the pictures.

I finally broke down and bought brakes.

These are pictures taken by the great Mr. Piggie himself as he ripped apart my car and put it back together over the course of 3 days!

Virtually nothing was left untouched!

Pictures of my hybrid K04 turbos with port and polish job, ceramic coated hot sides, clearance turbines, and K16 compressor wheels.

The turbine clearancing should help free up power in the upper rpm range, and is a good alternative to clipping the turbine blades.

Pictures of my LaBree downpipes. This set was on the car for a little over 1 year and about 20K miles.

Borrowed a Paul's 19" IForged Flux wheels for a drive. I really like the look! He may not get these back :-P

These are copies of the oil reports I recieve from Blackstone Labs. I started the first one at ~81000 miles and it came back with suprisingly good results.

Oil analysis is an excellent way to catch potentially bad engine problems before they cause catastrophic damage

This is part of a simple project to relocate the LEDs on LI-S4's Avalon Intercooler Spray control unit.

Miscellaneous pics of my car with my 19" Anthracite Sportec Mono 10 wheels mounted :)

Pictures of my car with my 19x8.5 ET35 Neuspeed RS10s mounted. These wheels are forged and very light at 19lbs each. There is a noticable improvement in handling with these over my Sportecs.

Too bad I like how the Sportecs look better :/

Pics of my Stasis Motorsport suspension. This kit uses Ohlins dampers and is quite a bit better than anything else I've had a ride in. Well worth the cash!

I re-used my Tracksport 700F/800R springs with this setup and it is hard to believe they are the same springs! The Ohlins shocks are *that* good!

Pictures of my various Stasis Tracksport setups. These include:

Setup #1 = 600F/700R/touring valves
Setup #2 = 700F/800R/sport valves
Setup #3 = 550F/650R/sport valves (this one was the best :)

Pics of my AWE intercoolers. These things are built extremely well and fit much better than the RS4 ICs.

These are some miscellaneous pictures of my Clutchmasters Stage 4 clutch, Clutchmasters light weight flywheel, and Labree split downpipes.

I originally had a shipping goof that took a chunk of puck material off, but I sent it back to Simpply and he took care of it for me.

Swaintech coated exhaust manifolds. No porting though.

I took these photos of the absolutely pathetic refinishing job that Wheels of America did on my once pretty RS4 replica wheels.

I originally brought them in to have some bends fixed and road rash on one wheel only fixed. They came back MUCH worse than when they went in.

To WoA's credit they took them back a second AND third time, no questions asked. However, this does NOT excuse the horrendous job they did. Not only was the finish abysmal, but NONE of the tires held air anymore! I ended up losing an S03 to low inflation before I found that out. I will be picking these things up again soon, hopefully for the last time. I'll post more pics then. But for everyone else, stay away from WoA!
