So the AFI didn't work for me, i ended up selling it and I was off to Ballade sports for their oem bored intake mani as well as other goodies.
I picked up Innovative solid billet mounts, Ballade sports spec intake mani, skunk 2 70mm throttle body, Ballade sports ceramic header, super tech valvesprints/retainers, and axle spacers. They ended up tuning the car and it put down 225 WHP tuned on AEM V2.
heres a pic of the bay, back with the oem intake arm and new circuit hero coil pack over. i couldn't use the aluminium arm since it was cut for the AFI intake mani.


This is pretty much the cars set up to this day.

Honda Tuning asked to do a feature on the car, i finally locked down a date for them to shoot the car in the studio. I wanted the car to look its best so i contacted one of the best detailers in so-cal. He goes by MTK Kommader on NWP4life.com.
I had him take out all the swirls, and flat out made the car look wet.
-Wash
-Clay
-Polish
-Finishing Polish
-Swissvax concorso









all done, off to the honda-tuning magazine shoot.
to be continued.

so the day has come,

its December 2013 and i finally arrive to the studio of Source-Interlink where they shot the car for Honda-Tuning magazine.
some "behind the scenes" shots.
photography was done by Honda-Tuning editor, my buddy Matt Rodrez.











i had no idea i was going to be on the cover, as well as sharing the cover with a good long time friend Mike donut aka @idonutknow

it was a great accomplishment and i was very honored to be asked to be in a magazine.

first day i saw it at 7 Eleven convenient store i bought all the copies.














feb 2014 i started to change things up, I sold my beloved Amuse PowerHouse R1 bumper to EJ aka Jack_in _the_Box.
I contacted Matt at ICB and he sourced me a Mugen SS front bumper.
