Default Laying the ground work.

Ok. So I have an 08 fx2. I have in my mind what I consider big plans for this truck. I'm starting this thread for many reasons. First is to bring everyone updates on my progress. Second is for tips, tricks,guidance, and of course everyone could use moral support from time to time. Here is kinda an outline of whats planed and hoped for, as well as ideas. Please feel free to post POSITIVE opinions, as im not interested in trash talk about what i want for MY truck. though that being said constructive criticism is welcome.

Goal: 2.3l whipple S/C system, track bars, efans (being ordered this month, from troyer), 3-4 drop, considering some small juice system (just for fun of course), replace gray headliner to black, line lock, and of course more things will be added as i go and as well as the more i learn.

All this being done and more, while maintaining a reasonably daily drivability. Of course i know that it will suffer in areas such as economy, ut that is something im not majorly concerned with.

So far i have only gotten 2" drop shackles, sct tuner + tuned from hpp motor sports in the DFW area, cat back exhaust, (looking into long tube headers) as well as attempting to put together my own track bars, with the help of a good friend.

I will post more later as it comes up. as well as pics of projects.

A little crazy panorama shot. 5% all the way around with eyebrow done. Including 60% 3m solar tint on the windshield.
