Sick. RT615s, G35 brembos, VQ35... now you just need some real wheels. 
I'd also have to say that the hood pins are a bit unnecessary, and I hope you have some good HID projectors in those housings...

The rims are incredibly light for their size, even with the tire, they weigh pretty close to the stock wheels/tires. If I had my choice, the wheels would be stock, but I couldn't clear the brakes.
Hood pins aren't unnecessary, if you look closely, I have no radiator support due to a really large chunk of aluminum sitting in the engine bay.
thanks for the comments, guys.

You're just butthurt because I called you ugly.

prolly are lookalikes for something. Raze R74. I think I saw somewhere 19lbs or so, have no idea if that is correct. Either way, I was really fooled when I picked up the box, same with the guy who ordered them for me, we didn't expect them to be so light.

here's a vid of the exhaust, I need to figure out a good way to mount a camera in my car so I can do a driving vid.

If you don't want to spring for a suction cup mount (like $50), you can jam the camera between the passenger's seat and the headrest.

i've done that before.. when i had my 88 civic, i jammed the camera under the right-side backseat headrest and layed the front passenger seat all the way down... i got a killer view of the dash, winshield and also of me sitting in the drivers seat.. u should try that.

Hehe, yea, I need to fix the shifter trim. The stock trim won't clear all the mechanics, I'll have to make something custom.
1/4. I think I'm gonna grab some spark plugs and I may go to the track tomorrow, If I get a chance. I think I need new plugs, now, it was running so rich before. Still needs a dyno tune. I wouldn't expect any great 1/4 numbers until I get the thing on a dyno and fix the fuel and timing maps. I also need to check out to make sure the VTC is working like it should.

Um, so yea. I have some good news, some bad news, and then some good news.
First the good stuff. Had the car 2.5-3 weeks running and tuned. When it was tuned, I was told the car is very fast and will be faster with a better tune. The car sounds pretty badass, It's easily in the 13s, makes every passenger **** a brick, even with multiple passengers in the car. I lose a little traction shifting to 2nd and 1st is insane. The plugs just got their first changing tonite.
Now the bad news. 5 plugs show normal wear. 1 plug came out shiny and new. After some testing, I'm getting spark in all 6 cylinders, however injector 6 is not pulsing whatsoever. I've traced this all the way back to the ECU. The AEM is not giving me a 6th injector pulse, I've been running 5 cylinders from the very start with just air and spark in cylinder #6.
The good news, once I sort this out, I anticipate the car is going to be ungodly fast.

Exhaust specs:
ebay headers, had to make a custom y pipe for my car, Magnaflow 6" round muffler (3" in/out) 30" in length. 3" side exit.
Last thing to get that perfect tone, run on 5 cylinders
I'll get a sound clip when I figure out what's wrong with the ECU.
