Haha thank you! The greddy ti isn't a bad exhaust either...
Thank you!
Really? It sounds a lot deeper in person, I would say it sounds somewhat similar but having heard the hks ti in person their is definitely a difference. Will definitely open up once the stock midpipe is gone.
Thank you. Not at all, just be prepared to drop some serious coin to imitate this car.
Available with the resonator or without, full titanium, 80mm piping. Straight pipe is roughly $500 and the resonated one is $1200. Going for the straight pipe.
Thanks Eddie! You will see it soon, just sent you a PM, your part came in from the motherland!
Thank you!
Thank you! Yes, knowing the right people always helps, just one of those things where I was at the right place right time.

Thanks for meeting up with me to deliver my part. Always A+ service!! Glad I FINALLY got to see the car...WOW the paint is amazing. You were grossly understating how pictures couldn't capture the true color. The paint is just sick and sooo soooo deep!
Great job man! You'll get that ride in my 7, I promise!

Resonated - 3.8KG / 8lbs
The stock midpipe weighs 14.2KG/31lbs. I have felt the rmagic titanium pipes, those weights are from their website, I feel like they are lighter then the numbers they provided though.

Okay, so I was going to order the work RS lug nuts, but realized I wanted to go a different route. I have the red work rs lug nuts now and I am really unhappy how the paint has come off and deteriorated. Should not be happening for $130 lug nuts, so I went ahead and ordered these Project Kics Leggdura lugnuts in black, price was $160ish. These are the lightest lug nuts available to my knowledge besides titanium lug nuts but I was not going to drop $600+ on lugnuts. Also going to be picking up a used Audi s5 here in the next month or two for a DD, that might put off some slight mods for the fd for a bit. Suspension should be coming in at the end of May. On a lighter note, I have so much more disposable money after breaking up with the gf
lug nuts
Oh hi. Not a bad DD for a 22 year old, and my stable grows. Hoping to add a na2 NSX to the collection by year end. Plans for the s5 include a blacked out front grill, exhaust, black wheels and painting the nasty chrome trim around the window and mirror black.

Nah, going to Japan for my graduation gift actually. Fell in love with the S5, don't ever see any around and I love having something exclusive. I sold one of my companies I started, that money is paying for the S5 and an apartment/house to where-ever I find a job.

Okay, some mini-updates and slight progress, I have been in NJ and off to DC tomorrow so I haven't been home to work on the FD. Did get a bit of work done today. I have a line on some SUPER RARE and absolutely killer coilovers right now that MSRP for $5900 that I am trying to get some money together for, might have some further details if I buy them - I need suspension SO bad.
1. I couldn't find anyone with the kics lugnuts in stock, so I ended up going with another set of work RS lug nuts in black.
2. As you can see right now, the lug nuts are red and look pretty shitty. I am putting the black ones on, then I am going to paint the center caps satin black. Most of you know that the work meisters dont come with center caps. Working on getting some work decals too.
3. Broken door handle, I fix one thing and I swear, three more things break. Thanks Mazda!
4. This is for a customer, but we imported this super sweet and ultra rare panspeed full titanium resonated midpipe, only weighs a couple of pounds. Definitely grabbing the next one I see for my car.
5. Starting to take the interior apart today and cleaning everything. The interior is just an absolute mess.The shift **** and shift boot are both authentic spirit-r parts, just need the matching e-brake to finish that area up. Working on ordering a works bell steering wheel and rapid release hub as my stock steering wheel is falling apart. Don't currently have a cluster, have a 99 for temporary means until I find a spirit-r cluster. Getting ready to order black carpet and black floormats to replace the nasty tan carpet that is currently in place. Ordering VHT black interior paint for the plastic panels, I still need to replace several interior pieces as-well. Looking to pick up a set of red Recaro rs-g seats soon too. Here is how it sits now:
6. Just a few shots of the car, suspension is in the works.

Thanks Tom! That was a typo, meant to write the ts-g's.
Thanks!
Okay, so I have been planning on buying suspension for the past 6 months or so but have been waiting for something absolutely badass to come along for sale. Finally found a set, bought them today and hoping to have them here soon, they are complete and utter overkill for my car but I guarantee no one has these in the states and I do get a slight erection just thinking about them.
