Backyard Special Seatrails and Emblems!

Awesome Mike, thats good to hear about the rails as I'm putting on a Spring run next weekend.
Also, the exhaust arrived on Tuesday and I just had it installed this morning.
Even though it isn't the resonated unit I was longing for, the sound has been lessened somewhat and I don't hear the nasty raspy-ness the R1000 makes. This I can live with. And at VTEC crossover on up to 9000, I hear my AEM intake over the exhaust sound.
The good thing is that it weighs as much as the R1000 (7 pds, I had to check )and makes some decent power from what others have mentioned.
The bad thing is that the heavy-ass catylitic convertor is back on (yep, it weighs in at 12 pd aprox) but all in all, the total weight with the R1 Titan and cat combined is just shy of 20 pds.
Sweet craftmanship from a very highly recommended auto-tuner.
This has definitely made my day!

Almost forgot, since this is the Bulletproof Auto section...
I took some photos this past weekend with the Top Secret hood installed (purchased right before Giff left).

Wow, im surprised the exhaust took so long to get to you... it must have been held up by the shipping company.
The Top Secret hood's looking good! I was planning on getting the same hood for my personal AP1. I have the front bumper waiting to be painted at the moment... i'll post some pics when it gets done.
Im happy to hear that you're satisfied with your exhaust! Amuse has unbelievable quality... Now all you need is a lighter high flow catalytic converter

We have this converter listed as a Tracy Sports product on our site, since Tracy sells these items as there own.

It'll have to go on next year's budget as I'm almost maxed out on mods this year and my poor 240SX needs some attention now.
Speaking of which, Mike can you get lower mount seat rails (like the ones for the S2k) for a Nissan 240 (S13). I'm using the adjustable Recaro SRD seats with a Recaro and Momo seat rail combination (one's for the driver side, the other for the passenger side). I've done some searching but haven't found much out there for what I could definitely use.
I have some major rubbing issues when I wear a helmet and autocross with it.
Thanks once again.

Received my BYS seat rail this morning and installed it tonight after work.
Awesome! I fit better in it already and pretty easy to swap with the OEM unit.
Nice product by the old man (with due respect) who runs BY Special in Japan.
And many thanks to you guys at Bulletproof for providing us JDM addicts to this world of car tuning and upgrading.
(the BP Automotive liscense plate frame, courtesy of you guys, was a nice bonus to receive. Thanks)
