Phase 13: Vanity Plates

Ordered these back in August and they took about 2 months to get here. Give or take a week. This will likely be the last thing I do this year pending gifts from the Mrs. (hopefully DD sidemarkers

This was my first choice. CT charged me $94 for the year.

Looking Ahead to 2018

So I compiled a list of mods that I want to do in 2018...
I need to keep my budget down because if all goes well, I will be moved in with the better half, and have an engagement ring purchased. She was not a fan of my priorities this past year This is a rough list but encompasses everything I want to do that won't break the bank. Any recommendations are welcome

Phase 14: Smoked 3rd Brake Light

Ordered this last week after the thread about the "mishandled ones" that ThatCamaroPartsGuy had for sale $50 SHIPPED! I did not plan on getting it until I could afford the smoked tail lights but I could not pass up a deal like that. Matt was extremely responsive on the FB page and had it ordered and at my desk in 3 days. The light has super light scuffs but nothing that can't be removed with a little bit of plastic polish. I didn't use anything because it looks fine unless you press your eyeball against the plastic.

Install took about 30 minutes. 3 minutes getting the old one out, 2 minutes figuring out how the plug came out, a minute putting the new one in and 24 minutes of cleaning the old 3m tape off. I used a healthy amount of goof off and intermittently used some degreaser to make sure the sticky stuff wasn't on any of the paint.

I must say, it looks SO good. I cannot wait to get the tail lights to complete the look.

Nice job bro ! The 1LE will blow your mind, a great car that really needs nothing. I came from a 2013 1LE and now have my 1LS/1LE and love the car .

Welp... ya boy is back. I thought I had it figured out, but I think I like this car too much to give up on it. I just purchased the ZZP catted DP. I should be arriving the 16th.

I’m excited to start modding for real now. Next is tires and wheels for autocross.

I went and drove the Focus RS yesterday for shits and giggles because I had heard so many amazing things.

I was impressed but not to the point of letting this car go. I got back in my car and it felt faster, more fun.

Happy modding! PLEASE HELP! I really am going to get lost when it comes to tuning so I will be asking for all of your help.

PHASE 15: ZZP Catted Downpipe

Ordered 1/9/18
Shipped 1/10/18 (holy hell ZZP has their shit together)
Delivered 1/12/18 (repeat "holy hell" statement above)
Installed 1/30/18 by Dizenzo Motorsports in Stratford, CT

LOVE IT!!! Makes the exhaust note throatier, more aggressive while not going over the top. I cannot wait to pair this with the axle back. Under load, this DP changes the note of the exhaust noticeably.

I had a change of heart haha

I took into account how much less payments on this car will be compared to a brand new 1LE. I can spend the extra money on Modifications. Also taking into account I love hearing and seeing people's reactions when I tell them "its actually an inline 4 turbo"

Sorry to disappoint if you were looking forward to it.

PHASE 16: Vitesse Throttle Controller

Ordered (used) 1/10
Shipped 1/11
Received
Installed 1/20

Works as expected. There is a VERY noticeable difference with throttle input. SP09 full throttle is at about 20% throttle input. I really like it and since I only spend $40 bucks on it, I like it even more. It did make the driving a bit more lively and enjoyable. I really started to feel the difference at SP06. Below that is not very noticeable.

Verdict... If you can get one used, get it, it is quite fun. DO NOT spend $180, or whatever these go for retail, just get a tune if you really want more throttle response and are planning on spending anything over $50.

EDIT: Sent me into limp mode and I died on a 2 lane highway with no emergency lane... DO NOT PURCHASE ONE OF THESE.....
