Shakotan Matsuri? Yeah i'm going to try to go... Cool i'll look for you there.

BTW How do you like the WB paddle shifters? I think your one of the few people here that has gone through some modding to the 5AT.

Yep thats the one.
I like them, since they turn with the wheel I needed to kinda get hand positioning down during turns when I 1st got them. With the VB it shifts right away, should be even better once the new clutch packs are in.




Thanks for the props everyone=)

great mods, now all you need to do is just paint the sideskirt, hood, and lip. Don't like the unpainted CF on yellow, stands out too much IMO.

How do you like the HKS by the way? I know it is a top quality SC, and GTM apparently does a great job, but it seems very expensive form them as well.

Everything is pretty nice, but I think you should paint the upper rear parts of the side skirts. It doesn't flow well with that parts being CF.

Not dealing with paint shops again, staying with the carbon.
Love the HKS so far, over 5,000 miles and going strong.

LOL well I got it in Seattle a while back in an art deco store. The white things are stools that pull out. Also there are sliding drawers that open when the table reaches high speeds to slow it down on either end
