Thanks to UPS for making deliveries during today's messy miserable winter weather. Received my Toda 70mm dual exhaust, Toda test pipe and hondata flashpro. I think I'm getting closer to finishing up with the S.

Having issue installing my flashpro manager however. It says it runs on Windows 7. I have the home edition and on launch it keeps giving me a "failed (error 0)" prompt and refusing to load flash pro manager. Do I need windows 7 pro?

Yes, that's the plan. Looking forwards to it as all the raves about his tunes and how the car will be different to drive.

Thanks! I recently looked into those ASM bolts you have of multiples...you are truly a baller. I would need eight for my plates but I can't stomach the price.

There is only so much I want to do with the car. The thought of going wide body has crossed my mind but seeing from other owners' experience, it seems like a pain in the butt to maintain. Living in NYC, there are limitations due to road quality and parallel parking needs, I'd rather not go crazy especially with frp body panels. Lastly, I need to start saving money for a house. The S will have to be "good enough" and I have to be "satisfied" in order to allow the prospect of a new toy in the future.
The spoon calipers are scheduled to be installed in mid March ahead of the April dragon event.

Thanks Adam.

Thinking of getting a different hood, but can't decide which hood to get, ASM in frp (painted) or J's Type V in cfrp (unpainted). Thoughts/Opinions/Two cents?

I think I would go ASM painted. A much cleaner look.

Have you gotten the exhaust on yet? If I ever had to get another exhaust I would go with the Toda that you just got.

I'm leaning towards the ASM hood also. But we shall see. Probably decide in a few weeks.

Not yet. I like the exhaust you have, which I considered and that's why I messaged you to ask which ones you had.

I'm planning to get the exhausts swapped tomorrow morning and then to another shop to swap wheels. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow and hopefully my fiance doesn't get irritated tomorrow as I need her to help me drive the exhausts and wheels to the shops.
