Picked up my car from SGP Racing in Houston this afternoon. Mark tuned it at 240+ whp at 12 psi. Drives like an absolute dream. Here are some pics.

SGP Racing in Houston did a real clean job with the install

Thanks for all the compliments guys. In response to your questions...

1) Got the carbon radiator shroud from Renovauto. Fitment is good and it looks sexy as hell

2) Got an S14 front clip from Phase2 for $3200. Cost of labor and dyno tuning at SGP Racing was $2500.

3) Wheels are Enkei PK6's with 18x8.5 +24 up front and 18x9.5 +25 in the rear. Tires are Nitto 555's, 245/40/18 up front and 275/35/18 in the rear. Fit great, but I'm going to have to roll and possibly pull the rear fenders when I drop the car.

Not bad. Wheels and interior are not my kind of bling, but that engine shot is muy bueno. You sure picked about the best shop around anywhere when you went to SGP. I plan on utilizing them and ther dyno once I go stand alone. Very nice hp number as well!

With the S15 steering wheel swap, does the airbag still work?

If not, I'll just get some aftermarket wheel, but if I can retain airbag functionality (due to my lack of a roll cage, helmet, and 4-pt harness), I'd like to do that.

Yup, those are factory S15 leather seats. And funny thing about the S15 steering wheel. Mark assures me that he wired everything up properly, but the airbag light still trips. And there's only one way to really test and see if it works...
