welcome, seems like you're doing a great job on the car so far and it shows - looks fantastic. I don't know very much about the tuning aspect but there are lots of other guys here who can help you out.

im just about to hit 70k miles on the odo; 10k since i bought it.I plan to lower it soon, savin up to get my wheels powdercoated, shocks/struts, and tires. should be done by spring.

after that, probably savin up for a new motor, mine chugs oil like an irishmen.figured i might as well do some internals before i put it in, no sense droppin $2k if you get nothin out of it IMO.

Like the sig btw

if you want em PM me. theyre 4X114 only though. not sure what the lug pattern is on 240s tires are like new and there is hardly any curb rash, just a small part of the lip on one wheel.

looking good. get those coilovers on, the wheel gap is awful on the stock SE-R. The other thing i can suggest after all of your current mods is sticky tires and perhaps an APexi SAFC.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted. I have a friend with the same mesh grill and he powder coated it dark gray and it looks killer. I'll see if I can get some pics.

It looks Much better. With Cams you may get some car vibration going on. Aftermarket engine mounts should help. Also watch for Pot Holes. Rotas tend to crack.

Aftermarket mounts/inserts will make vibrations worse. Stiffer mounts = more vibration transferred to the chassis, meaning more vibrations felt by the driver. Stock mounts are made soft to absorb vibrations to add comfort.

Any wheel will crack if you nail a pot hole. People dislike Rotas because they're knockoff wheels, and exaggerate the instances where people have cracked a Rota. But i look out for potholes anyway lol.
