    Finally Upgraded the Coupe

    Hello all. I've been absent from posting to the Forum for quite a while. I went to work for myself as a contractor for the last three years. To say the least I've been busy. I've been averaging 250 days on the road for the last few years, which unfortunately leaves little time to work on the Coupe. Gotta make hay when the sun is shining....

    This past year I had the hood and bumper re-sprayed, a clear bra installed and the drivers seat booster color repaired.

    This month I finally got around to having Ceramic Coated Euro Headers, Supersprint Mufflers, and an Active Autowerks Stage 3 Tune installed on the Coupe. I had been waiting for the time to do the work myself but I never found any. I finally had Euro Works in Pompano do the install. WOW, she runs like a "Scalded Dog" and she sounds awesome.

    I also had the garage floor ground and re-epoxied. New cabinets are on the way to clean up the walls.

    I also picked up one of these for my new found power.

    Hope everyone is well.

    I've done some homework on finding headers for my S52, and came up empty handed... at least not without removing the cat. Who made your headers? Can you retain the cat, so as to remain smog legal? Are they also available for an S52?

    Valentine One is a great radar detector. I have one mounted on my motorcycle via a hard-wired autocom system.

    WOW ! Well done on all fronts, now hopefully you'll get to enjoy the car even more.

    If you haven't already thought about it, you carefully pry the switch assembly out above your mirror you can access +12v and ground to hard wire your radar detector so no cord will be dangling.

    ECS Should have them. They also have high flow cats for downstream.

    Thanks. Not exactly raking up the miles lately. I'm averaging 250 days a year on the road. But I do intend to drive her more this year.
