Nice car man! Race it often?

Little off topic, but I gotta ask, how do you find living in Japan? Nice?

Anyways, welcome!

No clue but I don't like the OEM intakes rubber piping. I come from Nissans and we get rid of rubber intake piping ASAP because Nissan ones are well known for collapsing.

Giant dome tweeters that aren't connected and came with the car. I've been too lazy to remove them as getting rid of the wiring will be a pain. I'll do it whenever I install my Spoon VTEC controller since I have to take the dash apart anyways.



Finally a pic with the new wheels! Mugen RNR 15x6.5 +45


Next on the list of things to do is raise the car about 1/4 inch
