Looks like a job well done by AA! I am sure they will back up their work on the swap. Waiting for more pics after the suspension is done. Where are the sound clips?

I will post sound clips when car gets back, I have sent it for some minor tweaks. I will probably be without coils for a few months since no one seems to carry them in stock.

Yea we need to get together since we live 250 apart. The metric is just a 4-cylinder but it can handle major boost, that's all

I'm still getting used to it, I have way too much torque and 1st gear is very hard to pull out the dig without spinning tires for an hour. It is a bit scary to my point of view and I am not 100% confident on the road yet. It is a lot of power for me to get used to on RWD. I come from AWD 6 Cyl and this is night and day. Car is very tail happy and wants to drive me instead. A lot to do with my stock suspension still being on the car and also my lack of driving knowledge.

Wow, they did a great job!

You should relocate the battery to the rear.

I can't wait to do mine in the coming months, still getting money and parts together... I actually work for a shop so will be doing mine myself... I wish my car was white like yours, mine is black. Are your seat heaters standard equipment, or did you add them, is that hard? I'm also looking for seats since a previous had removed my TI sport seats :-(

Sounds like you are ready... My seats came this way standard as this is a 99TI. Also came with door side airbags and M3 steering wheel
