Nice! Any more pics of it? Engine bay pics? Looks fun, I like the green with white stripe. One of my customers just finished his kit not to long ago. Loud as hell!

Ah I see the silver now! Damn what a setup. A boosted one would be fun! CF Gauges too. Well done! Now we need pics of the IS lol.

Well about 40 minutes and between the intake mod and the exhaust....I really like the sound of the car in and out! Best $545 bucks I have spent in a while!

OK, is it me, or after intake and exhaust I noticed that in "POWER MODE ECT" the tranny seems a little more sensitive to throttle input...that is to say that itseems to wan to kick into the next lower gear quicker....maybe it did this before but it was so quiet I never noticed it...just wondering...I was driving all the time in power mode, but now I find myself leaving it NORM.

Wow, glad that F-sport exhaust came through for you. After the rear sway bar, time for coilovers!

Glad the eBay story was good. Welcome to CL. I'd say add coilovers instead if the F Sport sbock/spring combo. More adjustability. Then wheels and tires. Nice color by the way! Nice other ride too.
