It will look better once you spray it, I did try to get halfords to mix moonrock into an aerosol but the colour was no where near so took it back and bought a cheaper standard colour grey, think it was a ford colour and it looked fine

They look like a replacement part for Brambo or Alcon standard brakes arent they?

Here's the bonnet surgery. I have some touch up paint to go on there, and then some nice seal material which STiv5 recommended Should be here tomorrow.
I'm glad you have finally completed the installation.

I would like to see this seal material once you get it on the hood. In my previous S2000, I had a seal as well, but I cannot find something similar this time. My OEM hood is off the car, but I would like to put a seal in that specific sharp area just in case I decide to remove the J's Racing hood.

If I have some spare, I can post it to you

I've just been out for a little drive, to collect some coolant hose from S2000si (thanks again Si) and the intake is very nice. It sounds perfect for what I want. Not too quiet and not too loud. On VTEC it sounds best.

I wasn't pushing the car as bits of hose aren't tied on properly, but it does feel good with the intake and manifold

Nope It helps not working for weeks at a time though!

I had it all planned out what I wanted to put on the car, and with mapping (AEM EMS) due in March, I needed to get all the breathing mods on there beforehand. Only bit i'm missing now is the exhaust, but that shouldn't affect the mapping of the AEM so I can wait for a second hand Mugen or Greddy to pop up

Got some NGK iridium plugs to go on tomorrow!

Glad you went with the J's Mark and decided to fit the J's intake, top shit!

Just get a J's dual and your set, though it will probably be on the loud side , i know Amuseboy ran a t1r v2 which was similar, i have one but it will be too loud for you.

Yup i'm looking for minimum offenciveness

Mugen or Greddy. It's purely for weight and a little noise.
