Update: got the final production version of the rear caliper brackets from Mike at FIGS Engineering! Hard coat anodized! And of course, switched to all titanium hardware.
Where did you get the banjo bolts for the calipers? The safety wire holes remind me of prepping bikes for road racing way back in the day, but we had to wire everything including the caliper mount bolts. I wouldn't call drilling Ti bolts for safety wire a fun adventure at all.
Any thoughts on brake pad availability for the GS/RC calipers? Is it better than the IS F calipers?

Titanium banjo bolts are from Racetech Titanium. I've always used RB pads and I believe they are equally available for all F models, and most recently, for the Track/Fuji Edition RC F.
The Suede Sabelt wheel is already showing signs of wear at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions . I had this leather wheel pre-ordered last February and finally received it the other day.
It has been 4 years since I switched to red coolant. So, it’s now time to drain, flush and refill again. It’s probably a little bit overdue as I should have done it after 3 years. But, I’ve only put 8K miles on the car in the last 4 years. Drained and filled with distilled water until it’s mostly clear. I have to do the RC F next! Also, finally trying out the 160F thermostat.
Final version looks good!
Where did you get the interior set from? Been trying to find a rhd set.
Thanks! I bought the set from another IS F guy who had them as extra set. There are a couple sets of RHD ones on yahoo japan. Here’s one, but not the common carbon weave. But if you search through there, you might find the white carbon set.
