^ Thanks guys, I'm hoping to get a better outdoor pic rather than the crappy indoor one - winter storage sucks.
I'm adding the CR front steering stiffener this weekend. I have the ASM strut bar with X-brace that ties into the rear steering mounting points and I liked the way it improved steering feel, I think this will balance off the front steering mounts and maybe add a bit more feel. Looking forward to getting the car on the road this spring.

I had a Mishimoto rad before the Spoon rad, and I thought that it was a bit too thick to use in the stock engine bay. I found the Spoon rad to fit better as it is slightly thinner. The Mishimoto also came with a leaky rad cap, and it puked a piece of metal weld material which caused my thermostat to get jammed in the open position. So I jumped on the chance to buy the Spoon rad. Probably not worth the cost new, but I thought the deal was pretty good for a used version
I think the Koyo rad is the best part among the popular rads that are available, if I was buying new again I'd go with that over the others. Good choice.

Just a bit. I do have to say that I am very averse to overly loud exhausts, I've had too many bad experiences with aftermarket exhausts on other cars and my wife really hates that.
Saying that, I have driven the car a bit more the last couple of days and it is definitely a bit louder, but very quite in the cabin. I have a hardtop so not having interior drone is good. I like that the sound has increased a bit without any downside. I just wish it had that extra growl and resonance that you get from with uk modded base exhausts.
What I need to do is have someone drive my car with me on the side of the road listening to the sound to really gauge a difference.
Not totally dissatisfied, it is better just not what I expected. Oh well.
