welcome to the club mate. Great choice of car too. Post us a few pics of your motor. Power gain wise? Should have got a mivec lol. Good exhaust system and air filter upgrade is a good thing to start off wit . Itg filter seems to be the best to go with. You'll get plenty of help on here mate wit all your fto needs. Enjoy :D
