To driving on 91 instead of 93. It will take the cars ecu a little bit of drive time to adapt to it.

Got my H&R Ultra Lows installed. Need my fenders rolled and probably some smaller tires before I drop it more.

Washed and waxed and then installed the OEM euro front lip. Removing the lip wasn't so bad but getting it back on was a pain in the ass. It took me a good 30 minutes to get the last 2 tabs to pop in. I'm sure it would of been a lot easier with two people though.
Over the course of the month:
Dropped it with raceland ultimos... I went into detail in an earlier post, but I didn't leave it at that height though, i ended up raising the front 5/8th, and bit less in the rear to remove the slight forward rake, it rubbed way too much... the 19x8.5 ET35 its just too aggressive, even with 215/35 tires. That rise effectively doubled the travel.. now it only rubs in BIG bumps and extremely fast corners... almost never, very pleased, the look wasn't killed too much either
But i will just put the original drop pics in this before and after... it just looked so nice. (and i don't have any raised pics either)
and installed all this:
The previous owners had lost things... got everything back:
Also got a forge short throw (Forward/back) shifter kit with the huge knob
And once the APR HPFP was installed, with its eurocars stud kit, i was ready for the tune...
I already had the 3 inch catless dp and intake for a while... Ended up buying unitronic's stg2 hpfp tune.. peak boost is at 20-22 and it settles at 17-19.. how do those numbers sound?
Its extremely fast, considering i went from stock tune, night and day, even though the car got a considerable bump in power with just the bolt ons...
Now im just having some traction problems with these 215 tires lol.
edit: oh also got an ECS dogbone mount insert, shifting feels great! I am about to reach 3 years of ownership and I feel like i have a new car!

The difference of putting the front in is just as big of a jump as putting the rear in! Doing both of mine is still to date in the top 5 favorite mods I've done. The car rotates sooooo much better in the turns now. Actually so much that one of the first drives after doing them i almost lost it, the turn in was so aggressive I had to correct and counter steer! The back actaully kicks out now, weird feeling in a fwd car.

Haha this doesn't help me. I have the rear; the front is obviously more involved.

Changed the oil, after the old filter was out I discovered Fram changed the O ring in their filter kit. So I figured it would be ok, start car and drop about half a quart almost Iinstantly. WTF!!! So now the old o ring is back in and I'm a quart low (lose about half a quart when you drop the filter) and I'm still leaking but waaay less. So hooray for stupid Fram and their stupid o ring design. Have to buy another filter and at least 2 more quarts of oil tomorrow.
The wife's oil change on the new Buick took 15 min at most, she's been laughing all night...... grrrrrr.
