First off, welcome to the community! Glad to see BP back on the boards! That's how Ludes should be man! Clean with just enough aggressiveness in the details. Great work Colin!
Take care

Wow, thanks for the great reception everyone! I really appreciate all of the compliments.
I'll try to address some of the specific comments made (this board needs a multiquote function!).
Yeah, you don't really see the 5th gens around anymore... They are pretty rare now. Overall they were not that popular to begin with, and 12 years down the line, they just get rarer and rarer.
I don't particularly feel like it's hard to heel toe, but I did learn stick on this car, and shortly after buying the car I went to a track event, where I learned to heel toe. That kind of means I learned good driving practices from the get go, and just got really used to heel toeing this car. I do have Mugen pedals that have an edge that sticks out on the gas pedal which helps with heel toeing tremendously!
A seat is in the plan to finish off the car. I plan on getting an ASM Recaro RS-G! I don't really care about the symmetry of having 2, and plus since this has turned into a purely recreational vehicle (I just got a CRV), 99.9% of the time, I'll be alone when driving the car.
To totally finish off the car, I'm getting a genuine Mugen wing (the one on there right now is a knockoff), a Euro Accord Type R intake manifold, larger throttle body, and then get it tuned with my Greddy Emanage!
Again, thanks so much for the compliments!
