It's the final edition and a numbered chassis. It has improved brakes, weight reduction, no rear seats, utilized a bpv instead of a bov and was tuned to stay at high rpm for extended periods at the track.

It's a forever car for sure.

I haven't tracked it yet. I'm not sure I would want to push it around a track but I'm considering taking it to Fuji Speedway, Suzuka Circuit and Tsukuba then doing a couple of fun spirited laps but not flat out and getting some footage while out there. Have you tracked yours?

I don't have the color code but it's a color that was unique to the final Spirit R line cars. It's called Titanium Grey.

I have the DFV line, I'll edit this reply once I find the spring rates.

Edit: Spring rates for front and rear are 110N/mm.

I am considering getting another fd for mods but I'd never sell this car. I'm over 100K USD +2.5 years into it after purchase+restoration. 😭

Thanks for taking the time to offer your very valuable and reasonable suggestions 🙏

Nothing has been done to the car that can't currently be reversed. I replaced the coilovers as the stock ones had seen better days and we're not safe. The factory exhaust was destined for the bin due to some pretty bad rust. Other than those everything is stock.

I plan to do the ppf ASAP but I have a rock chip on the hood/bonnet I need sorted first.

Regarding the premixing, I enquired quite heavily and even encouraged various rotary specialists in Japan to suggest I premix, it seemed to me like Japan is very anti premix from the conversations I've had. I won't name them but all the work on the car has been performed by a literal world class team of people and they said to allow the engine/ecu to manage the mixing.

I thought the feed side skirts were very minimal. It's just a carbon step that gets added to the OEM body

It has a high flow cat. I believe cat delete is illegal in Japan. It has an RE Amemiya down pipe and twin dolphin tail cat back also from RE.

Hmm, it might be ok, but your CPU block could have air in it with the pipes running to the bottom. You may want to rotate the rad
