Made a carbon fiber trim piece to go behind my plate since there's a gap on the side of my plate with the JDM rear.

Installed a seat bracket goose neck for my tablet (now I will know when there is danger to my manifold!) finally got a battery strap and chiseled the hole for my "optional" cabin air filter. Oh yeah, went for a nice drive in the early evening out to the bay and enjoyed the first real day of spring with my windows down!

Installed works abm, it's kinda loud at idle, very quiet everywhere else in the rpm. Waiting for cat, hopefully it'll be less noisy.

Medallion Touring, the "quiet one" (T70072).

It is quite an improvement from before... I was running the previous owners Perrin delete and mid pipe then supposedly a "Megan Stealth" muffler... looked like a pile of crap steel muffler from pep boys, but whatever. Sounded LOUD, so loud I put a plug in the tail pipe for a few months to help shut it up.

It is not as quiet as I would like, but it is probably about as close to stock levels as you can get. I plan on putting an STM ultra quiet resonator in to see if I can shut it up a bit more.
The tone is nice though, doesn't have that ripping a fart sound or anything like that. At idle it has a pretty significant drone outside, but in the car it is quiet.

Overall I am super happy with it. And JM Auto Racing (sponsor here) hooked a brother up, best price I could find and really fast shipping, had it in like 2-3 days.

Installed a temporary passenger's side mirror. (Long story, daughter smashed into a road barrel when I first got it...)
Plasti-Dipped my Mistu logo on the front, red from chrome
Cut down my battery strap posts

Changed all four tyres from original Yokohamas to Michelin Super Sports at 8300 miles.
Uneven wear patterns noted. Going off to check four-wheel alignment.

I dented the rear quarter panel with my Cadillac door. Just after I told the wife to be careful. And now my kid knows a few new words

Checked 4-wheel alignment '@ Protyre , Bristol (UK). All wheels appeared to be going in different directions!
Three of them were 'within tolerance' but the OSR (RHD) was quite a bit out (Toe).
Some basic adjustments were done and the car feels very different and much better!

Next will be to dial in some negative camber,methinks.
