I have no idea what it is going to do or more specifically, where I will stop increasing the boost.. I'll probably scare myself then stop increasing the boost.

Insurance is easy, the car is insured to drive... (Liability) then it is insured for value separately.

Edwin... You need to speak English.. I am not a mind reader... I need you to type in complete thoughts.

The bumper is off of a SPORT-20 that we imported from Japan... It doesn't get any more JDM than that... The Effing seats literally had rice in them... ask John (Focus)

PS..

I am working on a new domain...

I was talking about the front bumper sausage lover
the sport20 and MSP bumpers look the same but they're not... no heavy steel rebar in the sport20

if you have a real sport20 front bumper, I like to know how much lighter it is because you didn't mention anything about the weight

I don't have any Re bar, ADM or JDM...
The Front bumper skin came off of the Sport-20 and I never took the "Re bar" because it would be incompatible with my FMIC...

Today, as unimpressive as it sounds, I took the Castle Nut off each drive shaft and removed them. I had tried in the past with an impact, however they were the OEM drive shafts so they were "Really On". I used a 1 1/4 HP grinder to literally cut the nut and used a pry bar to split the nut. The rest is history.
I am working on getting the dash out so that I can do a proper job of mounting all the stuff to the firewall. I am also going to get the engine bay ready for paint.

Getting the car ready to be moved for a pro repaint, I have decided to not do it myself... I will make it look like ****..

Media Blast, Factory White and then a set of Clear Coat... Technically, I will be able to wax the engine bay like the outside.

Dash is out to redo the wires properly.

Calipers off so I could put the **** rims off of the winter beater on the P5 so it could be transported.
