So I sued the bugger and WON! My revenge was made all the sweeter by buying the tS in September of 2018.
Here's the car in the showroom. It was titled and plated in my name. We were just waiting for a sunny day to drive it home.

I believe it was 1.9% for me. Not great, not terrible.

Time flew. Hard to believe it's been 5 years already. Just did my 100k service too, and it still runs like a dream.

I had the opportunity to pick up an Inazuma at the time I was looking... but when I saw they had the DGM Sport-tech in stock I had to go for it. It was a sunny day and the metallic flake did it for me. Since then I've met the owner of that very Inazuma as he lives just a few blocks from where I work.

Installed the Mishimoto inlet tube, cleans the engine bay up a bit, but the best thing is the driving. Slightly more torque down low and a bit more surge past 4000 rpm, definitely noticeable and not a placebo. The throttle response is so instant, like the car had a double espresso shot, lol. Overall a brilliant mod and well worth it…

Looks like it cleans it up nicely. I think it`s more a double Decaf shot lol. With a filter on top it has to be an improvement though.

I did say “slightly” in terms of power and torque. The throttle response though is definitely more immediate. I was a little sceptical about this upgrade and mostly did it to clean up the engine bay, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Looks like I’m not alone either.

Pitty they don`t make one for my car. Perrin do though. Seeing the sound tube annoys me.

Looks like they do. Good news is it’s on special at Mishimoto Australia at the moment for around $145.
