Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror installed!

P/N: 76400-BRM-004

https://nemos-garage.com/products/sp...nt=13788557380



The Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror reduces glare and provides a wider view thanks to the convex shape of the glass.

Nice man! I was interested in this too, but was hesitant of the fitment after purchasing the Mugen mirror cover for the GK. I didn't realize that our USDM mirrors have a different code on the back, and thus do not fit.

I've ordered the Spoon Blue Wide Door Mirror Set from Nemo's Garage. They're very kind and helpful people! The ETA is 2-3 months from Japan.

Buddy Club P-1 Limited Edition seat installed!

I used a 2.2Ω 2W resistor to bypass the airbag light. I ordered my resistor from the link below:

https://vetco.net/products/2-2-ohm-2-watt-resistor

This thread provided a lot of helpful information:

Thanks again for the Buddy Club Racing Spec seat rail, idroveacamry! The new seat is much lighter than the OEM unit and provides much more support.

AEM air intake installed!

Installation of this air intake kit is extremely easy. I am happy to report zero issues with installation.



The CARB E.O. decal was a very nice surprise!



All done!



Here's a picture with the CARB E.O. decal!



I noticed a slight bump in power with the AEM air intake. It's not a massive change, but it is definitely noticeable.

The AEM air intake also provides a noticeable increase in induction sound.

Somebody stop this guy! Too many new mods haha. Very cool, very cool . That's interesting; I remember with my EP3, the short ram intake was in a similar position and most people just argued if it was a downgrade or an upgrade. I almost thought the colder weather might be contributing to the power bump, but quickly realized you're in hot SoCal haha. Really glad to hear you're happy with the purchase! I'm excited to add some of the mods you've introduced here, in the near future.

Thanks for the kind words! Honestly, I went with the AEM air intake because I wanted a tidier engine bay. I have definitely noticed an increase in sound and power.

The fact that this intake is CARB legal is a very nice bonus for those of us who live in California. Your GK5 is looking mighty fine!

Just giving you a hard time man! I know for me, if it's your passion then you move mountains to make it happen.

I've got a 17 month old at home and I have to juggle Daddy duty, Husband duty and then what I want to do. Guess I always end up last
