2nd to last (predicted) update. I took back out the solid transmission mount. It was TOO harsh for me. NVH was really high/bad. Going to get the poly bushing inserts from Z1 and put them in. The art pipes mated to the Ark exhaust sounds great! haven't heard any rasp and drives/sounds near the same (in cabin that is). Sound clips coming soon! Next weekend i'll be getting my manifolds custom ported (upper & lower) then some revisions to the tune. Going to end the year on a good note!

Droped, HFC installed, catback installed. Plus silly things like interior LEDs, SRI, GTR starter button and overhead light lenses. Wheels and tires. Oh, and custom headlights, Panamera style.

For 2017? Maybe... and a big maybe, satin matte black wrap. But what I really want is more N/A Power. Perhaps swap the SRI for CAIs, replace trunk and hood with lightweight versions. Perhaps a bit more aggressive, but inspection time friendly tune. Still have a Navtool to be installed.

I've gone and done it. I said no more this year, but ended up ordering the SPL front and rear camber arms, SPL rear end links, plus eccentric lockout kit.

I'm going to get rid of my Whiteline rear endlinks if anyone wants to shoot an offer. They have roughly 3000 miles on them.

Hoping to install the goodies in early Jan 2017.

Remaining items to do:
Sway bars
Front impact bushings
Front control arm bushings
Differential bushing
Oil cooler
New helmet
Rebuild YZF-R6

I had no idea what I was buying January of 2016, so now that it's December I can say what I did get/do to my car. You can say the mod bug has definitely hit me hard.
-Tein S tech springs (sold for coils three months after)
-Stance SS coilovers
-SPC Rear Camber Arms/Toe bolts
-IPL Front bumper
-Stoptech Slotted Rotors with Stoptech Street pads
-Slim Washer Tank For IPL
-IPL Foglights
-Z1 34 Row Oil Cooler
-Uprev ARC update
-Removed R2C intakes and went back to stock intakes
-Got some new tires/did some maintenance. I think that covers everything.
For next year I will get Modded headlights (really soon), cold air intakes, wheels, and maybe ak CF v2 diffuser.

Ported Upper and Lower intake manifolds! the upper doesn't have much porting to be done. but the lower? man u can get those runners nice, wide and smooth! a lot of material was removed... Tune did lean out so im waiting on my etune revisions from Jon at Z1 so i can do my pulls safely. Pics coming soon!!

After

Sadly I don't have any pics of the upper but not much was removed from the upper. Most of the porting was for the TB inlet. The runners were also smoothed down but not much changed besides removing the lip at the end of the runner.
