I just got my Kouki last September. It's a pearl white base model so I have my work cut out for me! The current plan for this year is to do the 5-lug swap, OEM 16" wheels, OEM sideskirts, and very possibly do the Z32 brake upgrade.

I'm curious to know if you plan on going SR or keepin the KA? I want to SR mine ASAP but stupid Ohio E-Check laws are making me think twice. I have a few plans in mind about getting around it but am very curious to see how other Clevelanders are dealing with E-Check...

They're not on the car yet, but we'll have to snap some pics of them done for you. As for the paint, we cleaned and primered the calipers and then used VHT Pink which we found at Summit Racing, good to 1200 degrees

Hey I got a question.

Im ordering that EXACT header with a catback. Did you have any fitment issues or anything like that? Also did you need a test pipe to fill the gap between the header and the catback? Thanks!

We haven't installed it yet as the car is away for the winter but I'm quite sure the stock cat under the car will bolt between the long tube header and the catback.
