So after literally 4 days... i had a just shy of 20l/100km mileage. Mind you i had to drive about an hour downtown toronto in stop and go along queen st.

It burbles. It pops. When people see the carbon mufflers their eyes light up. Its starting to break in and sound so much nicer.

Fresh oil and a little clutch pedal adjustment. Had to bring the top switch down a bit and might have to bring the engagement up. Clutch is broke in now and I'm not hitting 2nd as fast as i want. 3rd is perfect but going to need a bit of tuning to get it just right.

Off for a test

Finding random places and things to do to break in the clutch. Making mental notes to slip the clutch every shift and don't rev-match.

Such a hard thing to do. I found that reversing is a pain in the ***, so I'll try to avoid that as much as possible.

I haven’t, but I will provide a dyno with my gthaus set up vs my Tomei/Thai Titanium set up. I will tell you they are LIGHT, and the welds are good quality too.

Installed the Sprint Booster V3 I got yesterday. Super easy and really makes a difference in the throttle response. I like it!

Cool. I've been following En since he started the prototypes. His welding is gorgeous

Currently loving the ART pipe + Shockwave combo. Even more so that the seller (SupraKirk) included O2 extensions which = No CEL!


Now to save up for the EcuTek tune.


And still have to replace the damn busted diff bushing.
