Looks like they're doing a thorough job. I hope it turns out ok and doesn't cost the earth!

Well that is pretty much it. I only manage to put the original decals on and the number plates on yesterday. I think for the sake of not getting pulled I will get a bigger front number plate ha

Saturday let me get the oil changed. Think next up will be the exhaust

I will give it a mini detail as soon as I get a chance then get the DSLR out for better pics as the above is crap.

I'm quite jealous. That's a very nice car.
So you mentioned an aftermarket ecu; are you going to check it's been mapped for uk fuel?

Had a day off from work so I changed the bumper bar as it was rotted through. Not sure how it got to that stage but I'm happy to say nothing remotely the same on the rest of the car

Interesting...

What would you all do about the exhaust? stick with the stock very quiet system or change it to what it had on.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the prodrive exhaust. It's a good amount of noise without being intrusive, and you'll have no issues at mot time. Plus it's freer flowing and looks fairly OEM.

Had a listen to both prodrive exhaust note on Youtube it does sound really good, what I am after but not sure a Prodrive system on a jdm. HKS does sound a lot meatier and louder, not sure I want loud

Prodrive classic

Great vid on a blob between a Prodrive and Blitz
