Right now probably just drive it and have a ton of fun! It'll get more mods slowly, but nothing extreme is in the works since I hope this car will be my reliable DD for years to come. I'd like to get a GM boost control solenoid to hold boost better up top and I wouldn't mind doing cams in the near future.
Joe - I did see the red 1G but had no idea it was yours. It looked pretty clean and to be in nice shape (as far as I could tell just looking through the window from the dyno room). What kind of clutch issues are you having?
Mo - I did not see the blue NSX, but if I had I am sure I would have gawked a bit. I was gawking at a hot looking white STI though
As far as the porting is concerned Scheides summed it up pretty well. The exhaust manifold is ported just like a DSM manifold is done, then it is JETHot coated or whatever its called. For the turbine housing we just gasket-matched and smoothed things out a bit down into the housing. Nothing extreme, just enough to smooth the flow. The ceramic coated o2 housings come decent, but we did do some grinding on the welds to smooth things out and opened up the wastegate passage a tiny bit more. We also hacked up the stock o2 housing heat shield to fit over the tubular unit to keep as much heat in the exhaust/out of the engine bay as possible.
