Hi Girish,

Got some minor stuff done in the past month such as

1> Replaced front seats with Recaro imitations.(lightened car by about 50 kgs)

2> Replaced steering wheel with a 14" diameter wheel to overcome the problem of speedo console vision getting blocked by the smaller wheel.

3> Changed Engine mounts to custom stiffened mounts(all 3 ) which have made a world of a difference. Car is now much tighter and virtually vibration free.

4> Temporarily removed the Hot Bits coil overs(already sold) and fitted Pedders Springs and custom stiffened shocks. Have ordered another set of fully adjustable coil overs.

5> Vtec not operational as we were unable to make it work with the RD ECU. Waiting for Karthik to come and sort that out.(very upset its been 2 months)

6> The Phantom Grip LSD is performing beautifully and has made a world of a difference wrt to traction.

Will be putting up a short term 4000km report very soon since engine was installed and turbo as well. Just returned from Mahabaleshwar where the car went for the first time on such a long trip after the swap and turbo.

As far as the future goes well there are a few things which I plan to do pretty soon but will post that a bit later.
