I'm impressed that I placed the order this morning. Then this afternoon I got my fedex tracking number. I do appreciate prompt service .

the car feels almost perfect to me with stock horsepower, how do you feel the car drives with the large increase in power you have w the larger turbo? do you need to lay off throttle more in certain situations now so you don't destabilize the car when it's taking turns at speed?

The first thing that a I did was suspension and chassis modifications in order to prepare for increased power. Between the turbo and the tune it makes linear power similar to all motor car. You don't get hit with boost all at once. It just pulls from 3k-7k smoothly.
It's a touge car so response and balance is the main focus. Instead of me being in 2nd gear at 4krpm I can be in 3rd at 3k. This allows me to be smoother and carry momentum.
The roads that I drive if the car is off balance or I drive with bad technique. I'm literally going to die lol

What suspension mods did you think had the largest impact? I've been de-modding my sport in prep to sell it, and pulling out the rear PRL strut bar made the chassis significantly more shaky. I also run a 26mm sway bar and a bunch of other chassis braces, so I'm curious as to what I should keep

The fl5 ctr chassis is very ridged from the factory. I thought it felt close to a caged EK if that makes sense. The spoon collars definitely helps with alignment. Rsb absolutely helps with understeer and I think it helps rotate the car.
Coilovers are the biggest impact for me because that's what keeps you connected. I couldn't drive as hard as I wanted in the mountains because I couldn't stop bouncing lol

Almost finished with the help of @Unity Performance . Very thankful for everyone who has helped me out with the build.

Icing on the cake. Have to admit when I bought this car. I didn’t think that I'd take it to this level. 14 months later I believe this is turning out to be one of the baddest fl5 builds on the streets.

Hot damn, what a build. Thank you for sharing the pics and feedback with everything!

My man Mike from Axion Industries came through with more cooling for my build.
Expansion tank and reverse flow hose next.
I can't wait to get this shit finished

Any PRL sprinkles on your build so far?

Not one piece.

Not one piece.

And why is that might I ask?

If by chance I ever park next to @phothrottle he doesn't call me a basic bitch and throws banana's at me lol
