UPDATE!

I'm finally back from Spain and got a chance to install some of the parts I ordered. First in line was my ECU/RDX Injector setup, noticeable gains especially in the mid-range.


Second was installing my Hi-Flow cats, wasn't really expecting gains but it does make the car sound nice :)

Heres a quick first and second gear pull, sorry for the shaky video, was hard to steer/shift/hold phone at the same time.

Also ordered new parts update/clean up the interior a bit.

New center console with double din cutout and finished
NSX-R Shift Boot
5spd Stainless teardrop shift knob
CT engineering Short shifter kit (shortens front/back AND side/side)

Rest assured I have no Intention of ever swapping the stock wing. The only aftermarket wing that stands even the slightest chance of me liking is the Backyard Special one. But even that is far fetched... ;)

Very nice car. Too bad by the time I'm able to afford it, they'll all have 200k+miles and be in horrible conditions.

Got my console finished, I changed my mind on the NSX-R boot and modded the oem one instead. Here's a pic with the console mounted, shift knob in, and my short shift kit installed.


Next up:
After modding and reenforcing my carbon rear valance, It's off to paint and I should get it back tomorrow or the next day.

Also got my ATI fluid damper. It was an expensive piece but good preventative maintenance, oem crankshaft dampers have been know to separate and cause engine failure. This new damper is lighter and more efficient, causing less parasitic drag due to improved dampening and better engine response.
