Mmm btw.. the tail light/bumper clip not securing in may have something to do with the bumper not clicking into the tail light brackets... Maybe compare it with someone's Type S? =D.

The bumper has clicked into the tail light brackets but it wont go into the space between the tail lights and bumper clips that are on the chassis .
The cars looking great Shak! Can't wait to see it in person, IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!
Thanks Michael, 8 days left!
Better get these last couple things out of the way before H Nationals.

Received my order from JDMConcept. Leo is usually perfect with his orders but as of late he has made some errors in my orders. One of these errors was that I recieved the wrong tail light gaskets (pre-facelift instead of facelift). This did annoy me but people do make mistakes. It was also unfortunate that the current and next week had lots of rain and I had to drive through that rain. I found myself emptying out a swimming pool after each drive for almost 2 weeks.

Don't really have pictures of the first two items installed but you do know what they look like hopefully.

On this day with the help of Danny (DTN), Fahad (itr5093), and Hau (Hau) the spoon n1 catback purchased from Alex (plAythiNG) was finally installed. I was looking for a more daily friendly exhaust and initially I thought that this would be the one. Although now I feel like the spoon n1 is just as loud as the amuse (maybe even louder). The upside is that it looks fairly stock with the stock facelift rear which is always a good thing (The amuse looked like some fancy cannon). Today was also the day Hau officially began his new hobby of taking pretty pictures of pretty things.
This was how the amuse looked on the stock type s rear:
Yes my car can fly sometimes . Jokes aside, make sure you always use jack/axle stands when you get under the car!!
Today we also saw Danny finally leave his supervisors chair to get under the car and get his hands dirty, nice!
Amuse is back off once again. This is currently for sale, if you're interested send me a PM!
Spoon N1 ready to go on:
Team work!
We decided to take a few pictures to compare the weights of both exhausts. This is Steel vs Titanium. The results speak for themselves!
Spoon N1 b-pipe: 4.8 kg
Spoon N1 axle back: 2 kg (could be more as one side was resting on ground)
Amuse R1 Titan Extra b-pipe: 1.6 kg
Amuse R1 Titan axle back: 1.6 kg
So there you have it folks! Spoon N1 b-pipe (4.8 kg) + Spoon N1 axleback (2 kg), comes to 6.8 kg. Amuse R1 Titan Extra b-pipe (1.6 kg) + Amuse R1 Titan axleback (1.6 kg), comes to 3.2 kg. So thats a weight saving of 3.6 kg, I'm sure if I had the straight amuse b-pipe without extra resonator, the exhaust weight in total would be under 3 kg. Definitely something worth considering if you are trying to cut down on the few extra kilograms! Also that sound of a Titanium exhaust (nothing can beat it ).
Just a couple more bits and pieces left before I'm up to date!
