5Zigen Exhaust

JDMing Update:

Next up is the Exhaust change. People always ask how to increase power which out spending masses of money. Well there are a few things to consider. One good way to gain instant performance gain and response is fitting an aftermarket exhaust. These are better designed then OEM to allow more free flow in them thus giving you better performance and a nicer exhaust tone ^_^.

I originally had the Blueflame stainless twin tail pipe exhaust when i bought the car. Very lovely low tone pitch and makes a nice roar sound when you put your foot down...Eventually i found a 5Zigen Pro Racer A-Spec for sale and opted for that instead as i've always wanted one.

Aftermarket Dashboard Dial Rings

JDMing Update:

Next in line of mods, is the dashboard. OEM does look good, but added a bit of silver to it makes a hell of a difference in design.

Different available dial rings for the FTO.

• The aluminium dial rings made by the FTO Owners Club Shop
• Type-F aluminium dial rings
• Deep dish dial rings
• Chrome dial rings with smoothed off curve

OEM Dash

Strut Braces

JDMing Update: OEM Strut Braces

To improve handling on Kuro, i bought the Version R front and a rear strut bace.

Yokohama Super Advan

Yokohama Super Advan

When i bought the car, it originally came with BBS 17" alloys, which were pretty nice. But i have always loved the Super Advans from the first moment i saw it. Lucky enough at the time i found a set on ebay so snapped that up.
