Nice numbers from the tune, what PSI did you end up at redline? I had mine tuned last month and put down 404/258 @ 11psi with a 8500 RPM redline.
For the hardtop, I suggest picking up some spacers for your striker, it helped eliminate the same issue on my OEM. I picked mine up from Gladman Fabrication a couple of years ago.

Those look very well made. Hope you're prepared for some new noises! After you get used to it though you can't go back ever again, you'll convert all your cars over to poly/Delrin/spherical...

Thanks boys...
Drove it the other day... didn't notice any new noises but the car turn in feels a bit more vague.....? Once I get an alignment I'll report back.
Also, when I look at the pictures I'm realizing I should have at least painted those control arms black so they looked a bit better

Detailing update.
Had my buddy do a full exterior detail on the vehicle after he saw my car come back from doing a track day. Side note - I'm getting clutch slip at the track so I'll need to upgrade it asap.
Anyways, he did a full polish and applied CQuartz UK Edition... next week I'll be going back to get the Reset applied then the Reload (I have no idea what those do but it's supposed to be good lol).
Before:
He even went as far as removing my wheels, cleaning and sealing both the calipers and the wheels so it'll be easier to keep them clean and brake dust free.
After:
The product is pretty incredible. I've actually never had my car detailed like that before and have never seen it this shiny.
Engine bay was detailed as well.

Finally got around to doing the clutch.
If I can give anyone that's planning on doing theirs some advice... it'll be to watch out for the Knock sensor when taking off the starter motor. Those easily break. And remove the header... it'll make life easier.
On a side note... prior to the clutch job... I attended a car show and took home best s2k. Show was judged by HondaProJason. Got to meet him and chat with him. Super cool guy.
