I decided to remove ~30 lbs of dynamat from the trunk that I installed over a year ago. I can honestly say that I've never performed a more grueling procedure. I would discourage anyone from installing dynamat (it filtered out higher frequencies...too bad the ISF isn't a high revving V12).
I subsequently installed a Cusco rear shock tower bar given that the trunk was bare (slight carpet cutting required). For some reason, when I took the car out for a drive afterwards, it felt different. I attribute this to "breaking in" the Toyos a week ago: I doubt a chassis stiffening bar with pivots contributed to the "planted" feeling. Well, I did in fact put in new lock nuts on the shock tower mounts...
The car has never felt better...track days coming up in July
I also cleaned up both cars: a rare, once-in-a-year occurrence!

I tested an RR-Racing prototype tuned intake a while back, and now I've purchased the finalized product
Of course, I kept with the heat-reflecting gold foil theme for the MAF housing. Need to remember to get a vacuum cap for that vacuum port too (I believe it is 3mm).
However, that's not the exciting part. Currently, I believe I am the first ISF to be running full E85. It's in the test phase, but things seem to be promising. Will be going in for a dyno tune at RR-Racing within the following week.

Butt dyno says gains, but numbers will tell. I'll give the car an ample amount of cycles so when I do go to Rafi, the car's parameters are all in check.
Here's the wheel!
Looks great, done by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel.
