Absolutely. I don't understand the metal foot rest and regular rubber pedals.
How difficult were they to install, how long did it take, did you have to drill the pedals?

I know it's quite ridic.

Took about 30 mins and yes you have to drill. The brake was the only pedal that was hard to drill as it's steel I believe. Gotta be patient with those locking nuts that go behind the pedals

Got the gloss black fender grilles installed.

This concludes cosmetic modifications for now:

MP replica CF spoiler, black kidneys, fender grilles, black rear badge, and spacers for stock wheels.

I had a Dinan Free Flow Exhaust installed at MODAUTO todayi in La Habra CA, they did a great job. I freagin love the sound!!! I had the stock exhaust which I thought sounded great, but this thing just takes the cake! it sounds sooo aggressive! The N55 with this exhaust is just *ORGASMIC*

Had the Dinan Intercooler Installed at Performance Technic; amazing design with huge increase in air cooling capacity...off to Thunderhill next Friday so I will find out just what it delivers soon.

The Dinan 'schpeal'.....+ Max gains of 7 HP and 5 lb-ft of torque on a stock car.
+ Face area 278% larger than the stock intercooler setup for maximum cooling efficiency to deter heat soak.
+ Charge Air Pressure drop: 0.80 PSI (69% improvement over stock)
+ Charge Air Temperature drop: 193º F (9% improvement over stock)
+ Charge Air Temperature / Ambient Temperature Delta: 25º F @ 6250 RPM (39% improvement over stock).

Had this installed the other day. Throttle feels a lot more responsive. And the sound is amazing, cold start roar is pretty hectic tho.

hooked up

opened the garage door and there she was. had not seen her in quite awhile. I smiled. I knew. today. today, a simply gorgeous day. and she did everything I asked of her and more. It was a great day. I walked away with emotion and a big smile.
I realized I don't need the new girl ( M2C ). This one does me just right.

Just getting over pneumonia. Over a week in bed has made me stir crazy. Let's see, the lawn needs mowing...pool could use a cleaning. It's surprising how much gets away from you when you're laid up for a bit.

Screw all of that. A quick 30 minute rip in the M2 (dormant for a week!) made me feel better than any pill.
