Tomei Type D

[TurboZed-R]

I come from a long line of highly modified JDM cars. 15 Sti, custom turbo back, EL headers, tuned by Mike G, who now works for Cobb. 17 Nismo 370z, custom PPE race headers, Tomei, track prepped by Pete's European Customs in Pittsburgh. Dabbled in some AMGs and found my way back to JDM. I was looking at every option, but knew if it wasn't tomei I'd be disappointed. We'll the Tomei doesn't disappoint. Fitment is PERFECT, sound is deep for a titanium. Definitely drones in the cabin under load but cruising it's quiet. Flat out it let's you know the car is modified.
Also Tomei has trademarked Real Speed Engineering, 1 muffler is etched RSE, the other Tomei. For anyone wondering.

I'm in Pittsburgh with a 2-week old FL5. Where does one go in town for mechanics who know there way around a JDM? Also, are you aware of any meetups in town?

What part of Pittsburgh? Green Apple Auto in glenshaw races an FK8 and do excellent work. 6 Star Performance in mckees rocks has also been doing great work for a long time; They specialize in JDM.

I'm in Fox Chapel / Aspinwall area, but can get anywhere. Thanks for the references!

Green Apple is probably a 15 min ride up RT-8 North! Just did my inspection there with them and an alignment

oh, cool. I will check them out. I am thinking through how far I want to take the FL5, digging through exhaust and other options and want to find a shop to build a relationship with. What about meetups? Do you take the car out anywhere?

The Pittsburgh car scene was a lot better in 2016. Cars and coffee is pretty good in the summer. Local shops do pop up meets for charity in station square. I haven't been out with the R a whole lot this season.
