Hi all,

I wanted to give the update that I've been the proud owner of the fluid motor union M45 for the last two years. http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/08/late-nights/

Heres the update to upgrades/modifications so far: I love the car, but wasnt a fan of the VIP look. The car looked amazing while sitting but I like to drive my car and not just look at it in a parking lot slammed on the ground (no offense to those of you who are big VIP fans). DONT WORRY....I have all the parts to set it back as FMU put it if I ever decided to part with car.

Changes/Mods: Installed adjustable camber and toe arms from Clockwork Motorsports clockworkmotorsports.com - This allowed me to still slam the car but have the rear tires with a reasonable -1 degree of camber.

Installed front adjustable SPC camber arms to get the front suspension in spec

Resized the Auto Coulture Supreme 3 piece rims (I love the look even though they are the heaviest rims I have ever had on a car) - I had to do this because when I removed the VIP camber the rims stuck out past the fender. before and after on the rim specs: Front: 19x10 (now 19x8.5), Rear: 19x12 (now 19x10.5)

Un-stretched the tires - Current tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 245/35R19 Front, 285/30R19 Rear

Installed an Accuair E-Level management system with VU4 and touch pad. Upgraded the air compressor to an Air Zenith OB2

Had a local tuner (Ussama Razak from UHR Tuning) work his magic with Uprev Pro Tuner and get it running nice. This involved changes to the throttle control, A/F, injector latency, cam timing, converter lockup, among other things...neadless to say its running better than it ever was with the Apexi Neo (I promptly removed).

Many more upgrades to come....in the future: G37 LSD rear, upgraded gears, Cams and POSSIBLE...custom super charge and conversion to 6 speed manual trans w/ lightened flywheel :)

Thanks! I started this Facebook group which has a ton of members that Im working to direct to NICO - there is extreme value in forums vs. Facebook.

The knowledge base doesnt get lost as the page scrolls down. But there are a bunch of very enthusiastic Fuga owners here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1008484842510953/
