ADD W1 Dual Baffled Oil Catch Cans with Z1 Red Silicone. Bought these using Danny Zs discount code offered on his YouTube video. Actually installed these at the time of the JWT C2 cams but just got around to taking a picture.

Looking forward to the upcoming mods. This looks like a very fun car to drive already!

Johnnyd, like what you are doing with the car. Clean & Crisp. Glad you went with a build thread. Keep it going.

How do you like the sound of the FI carbon mufflers? Does the carbon sound any different than stainless?

Had been trying to figure out what to do with the mirrors all winter. Thought about swapping for APR lightweight carbon fiber but just wasn’t sure I’d like it. Decided to have the mirrors glass black wrapped and add the red Nismo accent stripes from the 15+ models. Happy with the look and money spent.

I know they sound different, but couldn’t explain it well enough because I’ve never heard the stainless in person. Others, including the guys at FI explain it well. Ultimately I chose the Carbon for the aesthetics and the additional weight savings.

Here is a Cold Start and Rev video clip of my setup. I also have a bumper clip at the drag strip on my YouTube channel.

Interesting build. Clean.

About time you did a build thread.

It's easier to keep track of things.

Very sharp build. And you may have finally shamed me into collating all my photos into my build thread.
