Thanks for the comments, but I have to admit this thread needs some updating.

I'll try and get around to sorting pics out soon hopefully.

I'm about to pick up a ISF this week, when you have the ppe headers installed, does it give you a check engine light?

^^^^PPE Headers come with an o2 conditioner that fools the ECU and prevents the CEL.

Yes as Lou said the PPE Headers come 02 simulator, but my car doesn't have the 02 Simulator installed as my car is GCC Spec and so I do not need to trick the system into reading different numbers.

We don't have any emission restrictions in the Middle East so I was lucky and didn't need to have it installed.

Show off! lol.

Shame it's not like that here in the UK.

Defratos

LOL yes I know, honestly I didn't know I didn't need the O2 Simulator until I came to pick up the car and the guy told me that my car doesn't need it.

This is also why I want to do a dyno run to see if eliminating the O2 simulator will help me get more power in anyway.

So many little black touches!
Looks great!

what did you use to black out the window surrounds?

Defratos

Thanks

Got them from here: http://www.outmotoring.com/_search.p...utmotoring.com

From what I remember I used the Gen 1, but I also bought the Gen 2 which are slightly wider which should make it easier to install.

I haven't tried the Gen 3 but I believe it'll be just a wider version of the Gen 2 tape.

Also I got mine in Matte, if you install them make sure to take off the protective plastic tape once you've installed each strip (it's sometimes hard to see, I only realized mine had a protective tape on by chance)

New Updates I've done over the past few months:

Got these installed over the past few months:
- RR Racing LCA
- RR Racing Catch Can
- Figs 2-Piece Rotors (With RB XT910 Pads)
- SIKKY Front Sway bars
- Cowon AW2 Dash Cams


RR Racing LCA:





LCA Bushing has made a big difference in the way the car feels.
When coming to a stop from high speeds the car doesn’t twitch from side to side as before. It holds itself inline with the steering which and stays dead straight.

Also I’ve noticed when you do WOT runs from standstill the car doesn’t slip out from side to side as much as it used to. Simply hold the wheel straight with very little adjustment needed to the steering to get the car moving straight. So far this has been one of the best and easiest mods to do, it’s been on for around 2 months now with no issues in terms of noise. I guess there is a “slight” increase in steering wheel feel but that’s attributed to the hard bushing.

RR Racing Catch Can:


Has been working great so far, with my spirited driving I have to empty out the can every month or so. Working great.

Figs 2-piece Rotors:

Just installed these today so haven’t driven much with them on yet. So far I can feel bumps and steering is slightly lighter but I haven’t had a chance to drive the car as I normally would so tomorrow on my way to work I’ll be bedding the new pads in and seeing how they compare to the OEM rotors.










SIKKY Front Sway Bars:



Installed the SIKKY front sway bars with 30mm Polyurethane Bushings.

Cowon AW2 Dash Cam:







Now this little beauty has been a bliss to have on the car. It’s hard wires to one of the fuses and so far everyone that’s driven my car or has been a passenger hasn’t noticed the camera which is great for catching people off guard.
From what I know this is the only dash cam that has full HD in the rear. I believe others do not or at least that was the case when I bought mine.

It’s been to the stealers a few times and each time I manage to catch something funny like the clips below:
