Update finally - been intending to post latest completed mods for a while but hadn't got around to taking any new photos until recently.
I got my car back from Garage 88 a few weeks ago with the below mods finished. Thanks to Michael & Garage 88 great work as usual. Feels like a new car!!
Completed modsHKS dump pipe and cat
Fujitsubo front pipe
Fujitsubo Authorize R catback
Cusco Zero 2E coilovers

Now just waiting on Michael to fit me in for the final mods to go on as below and dyno tuning.
Planned/PendingCustom cold air intake with BLITZ S/S filter
TRUST GReddy blow off valve
Dyno tuning
Had to wait a while for the clutch as unfortunately the wrong type was sent initially. Since the stock clutch had already been removed before this was discovered, my car was sitting up on the hoist in the workshop for 2 weeks while we waited for the correct push type clutch to come in from Japan!
The wait was worth it though - the car feels completely transformed and I'm loving it.
Handling is amazing with the Cusco coilovers and swaybars. Feels completely flat through corners and grip is awesome (especially with the Michelin's). Exhaust note sounds really nice, and not too loud in my opinion (which is what I wanted). Small but noticeable increase in power (tuning will unlock the potential here). Clutch is very very nice.
Can't wait for the final mods and tuning.
