Proper adjustment along with the Rexspeed Wide (convex) side mirrors help a lot. Also, replacing the low-mounted and bulky third brake light with the Intec slim high-mount unit improves rear visibly as well.

Got my Zspec engine dressup bolts in the mail. Too bad it started raining. Maybe another day.

Got another fun run in to see all gains based on what I've done so far (Bumps in torque are due to signal loss)

Whenever I have to make a short trip in town and have spare time I always detour to spend an extra 15-20 driving around to get it fully warmed up... don't want that extra engine wear from too many short trips to add up and it's a great excuse to rip around

Zspec engine bay dress up hardware. Didn't install all of it. Still have to do the throttle body and a few others.
