The only recent change is the grills over the openings.

The tubing is simply slipped over the cut down ducts and clamped down.

Also I cant tell how you mounted the tubing to the area just behind the grills. Can you shed some light on this please?

Thanks
Zot, Chris actually has ducts in addition to the grill pieces. Bumper connected to CF ducts which in turn connect to the scat tubing. Take a look at the first picture in this thread.
Is that what you were asking?

The JDM ITR has front brake ducting standard. You can buy the parts separately - we should try to learn a thing or two from what the Honda engineers did...

RT...

Yup, that was it...I think I see how now. The CF pieces seem to attach to those little mounts that are already there. The same ones I used to connect the grill pieces to.

So...I am guessing the CF pieces attach there (to those little mounts) and you still attach the grill pieces there also, then the tubing attaches to the CF peices, runs back to the rotor and gets attached there.

Heh, I think I am finally beginning to understand some of this stuff

I was referring to the RSX Type R which is the ITR in Japan - go check out their site on Japan.

You may want to post in the New England forum to garner some interest.
